Hi,

My status for Background check July 6, 2017: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

Do you have any idea how long will it take? I noticed other timeline after BGC got their PPR in just a week. We already reached 6 months last July 17, 2017. Does BGC includes checking bank accounts/proof of funds?

Appreciate your opinion.

Thank you.

Guys .. I called CIC yesterday using Skype technique .. I got through within 12-13 mins .. the person on other side was good and calm. After doing all security check formalities, he informed that our (wife : main applicant + me : dependent) profile has no problem at all. There are no red flag raised on any section and looks excellent to go. But no idea why it is stuck or no update from immigration officer side. He has no authority to check what exactly immigration officers can see and why they are holding it up. We explained to him that its been 8 months since AOR and 3 months since BGIP status change. He said, he couldn't help much to overcome this situation and informed us to be patient.

We have ordered for GCMS notes and will receive in 2-3 weeks time. Only that can give us clearer picture. So calling CIC wont help, but getting GCMS notes and then raising CSE's will push the application forward.

So my question is if my profile is good to go with no red flags, then why we are stuck for 3 months (since BGIP) without PPR. We are frustrated with this kind of treatment for some candidates while others have got their PPR's and already landed. They should process such candidates ASAP rather than clearing some in just 1 or 2 months since AOR.

How I can overcome this situation and get my file moving again within CIC?

Thank you and hope all get PPR soon.
What's the Skype technique?

What's the Skype technique?
There is no international customer support line for CIC, only Canada local number. So since I am staying out of Canada, I have to use Skype to call that local no. If you have Skype, you can buy credits and then call any Canada landline or mobile number using Skype. So I topped up my Skype credit and called CIC.

Hi, Is there anyone here who got permanent residency visa or submitted express entry application after receiving ITA? I saw in the CIC website, it takes around 6 months. But I wanted to know a true case how long it took for someone, 4 months or 12 months after submission?
