Thank you for the response.

Did they ask any questions in the interview about your Facebook, Instagram or other social networking activities? I am trying to understand why they ask for those accounts and how they use it.

Any suggestion in-terms of making the account posts private or anything?

Thank you in advance for your resposne.
No I would give them access to your social media. You can make it private but give them the passowrds. It is part of the background check. Checking to sww that you are not doing anything illegal. That your profiles correspond to the locations you've specified. If you scrub everything clean or refuse to give IRCac access it is hurting you because it looks like you are hiding something.

I have the same case as yours, and one month ago the line that says " medical results received" was added , I contacted the embassy to know it there is another step I have to do, they said that the file sent back to Quebec ( I assume for CSQ ) do you know if thats is true , and how ling does it take
Quebec has different system so hard to compare to other provinces.

They haven't asked for the password but just the social network accounts. Why would they ask for a password? It is not about hiding things but rather about an individual's privacy (one can have chat and photo exchanged with friends, spouse and family).

I don't know if they asked PSAH for the password, but they ask me for a name on social networks.

Hello @Xbero, I am not active on social media and thus do not have any requested IDs- So I put "NA" in front of the blank space. During the interview we were not asked about social media stuff. Hope that helps. When are you schedule for the interview? If all goes well- you will be directed to proceed with your medical.
Good luck,
PSAHR

[Hello @canuck78,
Is there any difference between criminality check and background check? I guess, for outside refugee cases both are done simultaneously right after the medical? I am being sponsored privately under SAH.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Hi PSAHR,
We haven't received the email for the interview schedule. I assume that will be sent once we've sent this additional information and forms.
Did you receive the interview schedule after you sent the additional information?
Do you know anyone who has submitted their social network account information and if they were asked additional questions regarding that in the interview? I am just puzzled.

In our case, we received interview email a couple of days later then the email regarding missing/updated documents request. We were however, asked to submit the requested documents before we appear for the scheduled interview. Our interview and medical was done on the same day. Thing differs case to case- so you may get interview call after document submission.
Sorry, I don't know anyone to help you further with your social network IDs things.

Hi,
Yes, we got an interview in May. No medical yet.
How about yourself ?
Good- you are now another step closer. You will get medical exam paper on your interview day. Not much happening in our case- I guess its the background check in process which will take time (a few more months probably).
Good luck with the interview.

Thank you PSAHR! We are looking forward to the interview. I assume it would be a straight forward simple interview. How long was the actual interview in your case?

Based on reading comments and hearing from people, the background check is normally done within 6 months. I hope you hear soon the good news of arranging for your trip.
