Had my in-person interview today. It went well. The officer asked questions with focus on my absence days from Canada. Otherwise, no questions. However, I was told that she can't send me an invitation yet since my background check is still in progress and she has no idea how long it will take...

Hi, I am on the same boat here. BG started in March 2023 and no progress since then. Very frustrated! I noticed that your medical was done in October 2022. My medical was done in November 2022. Did CIC ask you to re-do the medical check? Thanks

Yes, it has. I have the exact same situation as you. My dependants' BG V completed on June 30th

December 2022 CEC applicant. Stuck in Backgroud check since June 30th. All other checks passed. Come here for information and encouragement. It is hard to wait in the darkness

Nandos is also my favorite too. I even inquire their franchise opportunity however I am not quite qualified. Maybe you could have a try and I will definitely be a regular. :P

i am a second time canadian immigrant and I would confirm to you that you made a right decision. Life is much more fun here in Canada, especially for kids. And as for job market, maybe you will come across difficulties find job at the beginning, but after 6 months or a year, as long as you...

Ah..... fish and chips, I miss it! and where can I find the tasty mashed peas, gravy sauce and those yummy pies and pastries?!!!! I miss Greggs! The alternative is meaty ribs, huge size pizza and freshly fresh vegs and fruits. :)

Hi Canooknic, It seems you really love this forum that you still read it even after you landing in May last year :D. I strongly agree with you that life for family and kids is of much higher quality here in Canada. I remember that the most activities I took my kids to do in the U.K. was going...

Hi Herjeet, my experience, your wife should get the result within a month congratulations

Hi Sweden, I have been in your situation for a year (from Sept 2010 to Oct 2012), feeling very stuck - not able to work, cannot make arrangement buying house, even furnitures etc. But I finally cooled down and started to enjoy everyday life. Hope you enjoy your life here as well. After all, CIC...

Did you email them to ask why there is a delay?

Hi Scottishmaple, thanks for your greetings. It was a hard choice between Canada and U.K. however you can only live in place. So for the benefit of family, especially for my children, I chose Canada. Wish you good luck too :)

Hi temmyt, I waited over 4 months in stage 2. I enquired in September 10th and got result on October 25th. Hope this helps

well, after you get your result, you will find that you are already a very patient person. ;D

I think the CIC head officer's visit to London changed those guys in London's working style -- they now only have one coffee a day instead of 10.

Thanks R151NG5UN! And it seems London VO is acting after their head officer's visit. Hope you get your result soon!

I think this is a email template they use to answer most of the inquiries as I got the same reply when I inquired. This only means they received your application for sure but may not be in process yet. If you see your ECAS status changes to In Process it means they are processing it.

I agree with you. Normally you should be allowed to work in Canada first, i.e. as a PR or under work permit. What kind of visa are you under at the moment?

Thanks Sweden! Enjoy you life in Canada! And hope you get your result soon

my home address was updated last Thursday and the COPR is received in mail today so you can check your mail box with great hope this week or next week :D
