    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    Well I spoke to someone at IRCC today and they said it is the Quebec side that is the issue (basically confirming what we all know to be the case - so no real "news" there). I just wasn't aware that although I've been issued with the CSQ and my spousal sponsorship was accepted by Quebec last...

    The timeline of 2023 Spouse sponsorship application from Quebec

    It's not the normality for outside of Quebec, I' pretty sure, but perhaps because it's in Quebec they take their sweet time.

    Thanks for the reply. I think at this rate I'll be retired by the time I get PR!

    Hi, did it really take them 2 years to complete your background check?

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    I know they started imposing a "cap" on actual applications for Quebec last June 2024 (my application was sent prior to this so I guess I was lucky, and as I say I received the CSQ in August) but I didn't think it would affect the actual continuing visa application once you receive the CSQ? They...

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    Yes I understand that Quebec applications take longer, although it's weird that my application for that part went completely smoothly and I have had the CSQ for 9 months now and therefore already been accepted. It's all noted on my GCMS notes too. It's more the security check that's bothering...

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    Yes I'm a British citizen by birth. No periods longer than 6 months spent living in other countries, although I did visit USA for up to 6 months at a time between 2011 and beginning of 2014 ( no longer), which is obviously over 10 years prior to making this visa application. No military...

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    I'm in the situation where I applied end of February 2024 (outland spousal sponsorship, civil marriage, I'm the applicant, British) and my background check has been in progress since April 2024, which is now well over a year. Everything else has been completed and fine, it's just this that's...

    Several cases moved from London VO to Abu Dhabi VO

    How did you know it had been transferred to Abu Dhabi? Did you contact IRCC by phone or send in a webform? Mine is still stuck in background check since Feb 2024 also. Everything else was completed a year ago, just waiting on the security check. Really I can't believe it takes more than a year...
