Hi SBP
Why don't you visit the spreadsheet because when you check New Delhi visa office page you will find many cases same like you (including myself) and please update your details as well.

I did some research and it appears that depth of back ground check of a profile decides amount of time it will take to finalize an application. ( Google this term and read all links in first 2 pages: "CIC CSIS")

CIC and CSIS have prepared a profile. If applicant's details matches with CIC+CSIS prepared profile than applicant's details are not sent to CSIS and CIC finalizes application without background check. This is the reason why we see few applications getting finalized in 6-7 months.

If profile does not match, then details are sent to CSIS for background check. CSIS decides on depth of background check based on it's own criterion.
50% of background check sare done by CSIS in around 2 months. Hence we see applications getting finalized in 9-11 months.
Most of remaining 50% of the applications stay with CSIS for around 6 months due to detailed background check. Hence we see applications getting finalized in 13-14 months.
Few applications ( rare cases) take 9-12 months in background check. Hence 14+ months delay.

No. of countries visited is not the only criterion. Other criterion include Companies an applicant has worked for, Family members profile etc.etc.

For ex - Company an applicant has worked for in country X has done some dubious dealing in Country Y will result in file delay. Similarly, if one of applicant's family members has name similar to one of the "secret" lists prepared by Canada or Interpol, then CSIS will do thorough check before returning file.
If I understand well, it means you have a background check or not if you fit with a profile. Right?

So most of EE takes 6 months to have their PPR and Quebec applicant take 11 months (approx.) If you said it's true, it means that most of Inland Quebec applicant doesn't fit with their profile, why is that? Because I don't see a lot of EE applicants who have their PPR in 13 months

May be profile criteria for EE applicants will be different (little easy) ....Also remember in EE they directly reject application in case of missing docs etc where as here they give time to applicant come up with requested docs... ..

I am pretty sure CSIS is not going to allow people in without proper vetting. CIC must have worked with CSIS to setup points structure ( relatives in Canada, work experience in Canada etc etc.) such that candidates with only "desired background" would score high enough to meet cut off. Such candidates , would either meet profile for "No background check required" OR would easily pass background check in 2-6 months.

Agree proper vetting will be in place no one can deny that ...but then some of the aforesaid points like "( relatives in Canada, work experience in Canada etc etc.) such that candidates with only "desired background" would score high enough to meet cut off. Such candidates , would either meet profile for "No background check required" OR would easily pass background check in 2-6 months") do exist for many inland folks who applied through CSQ route ... assuming if we go by this logic CIC folks are just sitting on files of In lands folks waiting for 13 months deadline or even CSIS will be working on EE case on priority ... which means we all are always at the end of totem pole :eek:
