how long would a security check take? I called IRCC yesterday and I was told both my criminality and eligibility are cleared but my security check hasn't started . My 6 month timeline ends in 19 days.
Same is the case with many of us. Cant say when is security going to start. Its the same status for 2.5months

Be a little more Patient. No one can be absolutely sure on the security timelines, let alone the commencement or progress. Its good singn that your Eligibility is cleared (pass or met). Be positive and you will get your PPR soone !!

Hello house!

Just spoke with an IRCC rep and he said review is required for eligibility and that security and criminality are not yet yet started.
The 6 months timeline expires on the 25th of this month, however, he says I should expect a completion by the 29th of March.

Please what does this mean exactly? Is it that new dates of completion are now given to people?Can one expect the 'Ready for Visa mail' before this time?
Anyone who has been given a new date too or in a similar scenario?
hello.. can u please tell me a few things... is your VO Ottawa ? Is your eligibility currently MET?

Hi guys, just received my gcms notes.
I have review required for proof of funds, I had enough money in my account according to the average currency rate during the submission but they must have checked it on a higher rate day and I appear to have fallen short of 200 CAN DOLLARS.
Can anyone tell me what I can do to resolve this?
Ideally they shouldn't mark you review required for the exchange rate fluctuation because the file gets locked on AOR. But still , if that's the case, raise a CSE (web form) with updated POF (new letter from bank with added money, cushion that as well) and if you want embed an LOE, explaining
that as a caution you are updating your POF. Everything should fall in place. All the best.

Thank you for your reply!
I am arranging all the bank documents again and will be showing $3000 more than the required amount for some cushioning. Will be sending these documents via CSE on Monday. Hope everything goes smoothly after that!
But when I called them day before yesterday, the CIC agent told me that " Good news, your file is in the hands of a visa officer right now and he will review everything and take a decision." So I really hope that he considers my additional documents before taking a decision.

Definitely the file will be reviewd by an officer, cause the RR remarks are from an Analyst. The call agent would have interpreted that its being reviewed.
In all possibility, RR sometimes gets cleared automatically upon review (as fluctuation is not a criteria etc.) or your get a PFL (ADR). you can respond to the PFL with an updated POF and they will make a positive decision once they are satisfied. Dont worry, you will be fine.

Only medical is passed that is right now, the other ones would be passed later. I didn't ask about the VO since it is an electronic application. Lets hope for positive news soon.
