Im on Security Screening for 20 months, its started on Nov 28, 2023. Dont ask me how I'm managing thisAnyone in comprehensive security screening at this point? I just found out that I'm having the most depth one. lol
For P1, you should reply on one single message from the main applicant's email with the details of the applicant and all the dependents included in the application. In the email address question, put the same email for everybody. Something like:Hello @Miss bee
I've just received my P1 email. Should I just reply to the email with the details they've requested for each of the family members and then I'll get access to the PR portal for future communication?
Thanks

It depends on what exactly is being asked for in the ADR (Additional Document Request) and the specific immigration or visa program you’re applying to@Miss bee Balance confirmation from the bank is enough for the support of the current proof of settlement funds as an ADR? Or do I need to attach last 6 months bank statement?
No way to fast-track.Hello Everyone, I know a lot of ppl are waiting before me to get some news about PR, I just wanted to know if there's a tracker or someplace I can track applicants with OINP nomination and submitted Non EE PR file early this year? Is there any way it can be fast-tracked? Btw, I found a tracker for August 24, whosoever is driving it are doing a great job and service. Is it @Miss bee ? Can you please review and suggest if someplace to track similar applications?

Noted with thanks.It depends on what exactly is being asked for in the ADR (Additional Document Request) and the specific immigration or visa program you’re applying to
In most real cases, the safest approach is:
- If the ADR specifically asks for a “proof of settlement funds” — most immigration authorities (like IRCC for Canada) require more than just a one-time balance confirmation. They typically want to see bank statements for the past 6 months to prove the funds are genuinely yours, have been held over time, and are not just temporarily borrowed to pass the requirement.
- If the ADR says “current balance confirmation” — then a letter from the bank stating your balance, account details, and date may suffice. But often, they still prefer it accompanied by a transaction history.
- Balance confirmation letters alone can be seen as insufficient because they don’t show the source or stability of funds — and in some cases, the visa officer may reject it for lack of proof of ownership over time.
Provide both the official balance confirmation letter and the last 6 months of bank statements. This removes any doubt and prevents a second request that could delay your application.
Thank you @ Miss beeIRCC can police certificates from countries where applicants have studied or worked, and some countries (like the Netherlands) have slow processing times.
Here’s how you can handle it so your application isn’t refused
1. Don’t wait — send an explanation before the deadline
Log in to your IRCC account and upload a Letter of Explanation (LOE) in place of the police certificate before the 30-day deadline.
2. IRCC’s usual approach
- In your LOE, clearly state:
- The date you received IRCC’s Additional Document Request (ADR).
- The date you applied for the Dutch police certificate.
- The official processing time provided by the Dutch authorities.
- That the certificate will be mailed to you, which adds extra time.
- That you will submit it to IRCC as soon as you receive it.
- Attach proof that you have already applied for the certificate — this could be:
- A receipt or payment confirmation.
- A confirmation email from the Dutch authorities.
- A screenshot of your application submission.
IRCC will typically not refuse your application if you can prove you applied for the police certificate within their deadline and it’s outside your control to receive it sooner.
3. After you receive the certificate
- They may either give you an extension or keep your file open until you submit the missing document
Scan it and upload it to IRCC immediately via the webform or in the document upload section (if they reopen it).
4. Why this works
- Include your application number and a short message referencing your previous LOE.
IRCC’s own instructions say that if a police certificate is delayed due to factors outside your control and you provide proof you’ve applied for it, they won’t refuse you for non-compliance — they just need to see that you acted promptly and honestly.
