This thread indicates that it has taken even one year or longer in some cases..... or then maybe a few months at the minimum.Hi. Anyone have idea that how much time CIC take for background checking of army persons foR super visa application.

I applied for GCMS note & in GCMS i not seen any background check request.This thread indicates that it has taken even one year or longer in some cases..... or then maybe a few months at the minimum.
How long it takes to complete background checks would depend on the seniority of the rank held by the defense personnel + whether or not s/he was posted to border areas/ served in war or peace times/ handled high-security responsibilities, etc
It's not necessary that IRCC will contact the army headquarters to seek the information that they need. Also, as this is confidential information, from whom IRCC sought the info/what was the report, etc will not show up in the GCMS notesBut, when my father written a letter to his army headquarter in banglore then they reply that army headquarter not recevied any background verfication from canadian embassy till date.

Hi,Hi All,
I am stuck in the same situation.
My Father is ex army retired 5 years back. we applied via a paper application a tourist visa for my father and mother to visit us here in Canada. Its already been more than a month, which is when I realised and read these posts that there are huge delays in visa for ex army personnel.
I have a few questions and your help or inputs will be highly appreciated -
1) As both my parents have applied together , Will my mother's visa who is a housewife also be delayed and both visa for my father and mother come together only ? (they have both applied 2 paper application submitted together)
2) My parents have valid US visas, and they need to travel next month to US for a wedding, but as in the paper application both their passports are currently submitted with Delhi VO. Can they retrieve just their passports for this travel? If yes, then what is the procedure and how much time will passport retrieval take.
3) In case as point 2, they get their passports while their application is still processed , Once the application is completed successfully, can they submit their passports in US or any other VO for stamping ? What would be the procedure there? will they have to contact respective VO first and get an approval to submit passports in US?
4) Any current timelines for Visa for ex army personnel these days? any one who has got the visa recently or submitted the application, kindly share your views.
Thanks a lot for all your help and apologies for a long post.
We are really worried as all our travel plans are in a fix due to this delay, as we went by the 28 days processing time as per the CIC site.
Okay.Fathers application says - background check in progress
Mother’s application says - Background check not applicable
We've seen both scenarios i.e. decisions in both cases can be given together or the non-background check applicant can get a decision first.1) As both my parents have applied together , Will my mother's visa who is a housewife also be delayed and both visa for my father and mother come together only ? (they have both applied 2 paper application submitted together)
Yes, they must send an email + CSEs to NDVO to request for their passports to be returned. Do include copies of their flight tickets + their US visas.Can they retrieve just their passports for this travel? If yes, then what is the procedure and how much time will passport retrieval take.
Yes, they can submit their passports to a US VAC i.e. CSC for visa stamping. Do factor in at least 10-15 days for passport transmission for thisOnce the application is completed successfully, can they submit their passports in US or any other VO for stamping ? What would be the procedure there? will they have to contact respective VO first and get an approval to submit passports in US?
Normally between 7-10 daysWould you have an idea from your experience with other on this Forum, How much time can passports take to be received after we send this email and the CSE.
It could be any applicant whom IRCC would like to run background checks on. Mostly applicants from the defense services, police, those with work experience in critical areas or research, applicants who have traveled or lived in high-risk countries, etc.Do only army background people - have background checks in TRV.
It's because of your dad's background checks.Because my moms application says - Background check not applicable?
I don't mean to scare you. Background checks have even taken longer than 1 year in a few casesAnd does it always take like 6 months. I was really wishing them to visit us in Canada after their US visit?
Yes. You can search for the experience of 'ubfx' who had applied from Pakistan, Abu Dhabi visa office (they had background checks, withdrew their passports for travel to Europe, got PPR later and re-submitted the passports.... in fact, his wife and son submitted new passports)Thanks for all the answers Bryanna.
Ill go ahead to retrieve the passports atleast.
Jus wanted to ask you, basis your experience, people have been able to retrieve their passports right , while still getting the visa processed and later resubmitted upon PPR
soeYes. You can search for the experience of 'ubfx' who had applied from Pakistan, Abu Dhabi visa office (they had background checks, withdrew their passports for travel to Europe, got PPR later and re-submitted the passports.... in fact, his wife and son submitted new passports)
