Hello, Anyone stuck in security screening here? How long does it take to complete SS?
It can take 6-12 months easily or sometimes even more, hard to predict.

Hello,

Is it advisable for females to do medicals during the monthly cycle? Will this cause a problem?
Shouldn’t cause a problem- just let the doctor know. However better not to if you can, as it may show blood in the urine test so they may ask you to repeat it.

Unpredictable and dependent on where you are applying from, how many countries you’ve visited and how long they take to respond to IRCC. Anywhere from 6 month to even upto 2 years. Unfortunately nothing you can do to expedite it.

Aoa All,

I recently received the ITA and i have a small query.

My cnic had the address A since my birth, however recently I changed the address to B, and both of the addresses are in the same city, rawalpindi. So how should I proceed with getting PCC, as I am planning to obtain it from E-Khidmet.
Also, should I mention these addresses anywhere in my application or should I just proceed with my current address as on cnic.
Yes you should mention them if you have stayed at these addresses in the past 10 years or since the age of 18, which ever is requested. If not, then nothing to worry about. As long as you have a Rawalpindi address on CNIC and you’re still living there, you can get the PCC from there.

none of this is true. same process for everyone. they send inquiries to security agencies from all countries you have visited to prove you are not a security threat. takes 1 year to complete.
Only sharing what my lawyer advised me since they have had several cases referred to them from Pakistan with prolonged security clearance compared to other countries. It even varies whether you apply from UAE or US or Pakistan. But my responsibility was to share what I have learnt from my legal representative.

But it's been a well observed fact that applicants from certain countries are more prone to end up in extensive security screening such as Pakistan

Yup. Second that.
By the way, I have a question, if you can kindly advise.
Does a remedical request mean that the SS is over? I am getting conflicting responses when I go through the forums from yay! you’re close to the PR to nah! doesn’t mean anything - may be usual protocol.
Any observed pattern from time between remeds and PR?
Thanks!

Can't say what the average time is but I've seen few people getting PPR in 5 Days to 2 months after remedicals

Nope. Best of luck, mate. Personally, I feel January will be slow due to the holiday backlog. Fingers crossed. Do share if you hear anything and I will do the same.
