Any idea how long it takes to complete background check? My CIC is showing background check for the last 3 months for us. What exactly are they checking? We are becoming a bit anxious.

Can someone shed some light on how long it takes to complete background check? It has been around 3 months for us "my CIC" is showing background check status.

Hello jupiter16, Thank you for your response. I somewhat got an idea on SVO official's visit from your timeline; they came in December last year! I wonder how often they visit Bangladesh for interviews and witnessing DNA tests.

Can anyone guess on SVO official's visit in Bangladesh for interview, or for witnessing DNA tests? How often do they visit Bangladesh? How long is the wait time generally?

Singapore VO requested DNA tests to be completed for my wife and for my child. The time it takes for SVO to schedule a DNA sample collection in Bangladesh is not very encouraging; we probably need to wait a bit longer.

Hello suzonsyl. I did not find any particular timeline/ estimate on how long a Proof of Citizenship application take from Bangladesh. However, we applied for our baby's citizenship certificate in August 2016, and we are still waiting for a decision from CPC-Sydney, NS. Just hang in there...

Hello canuck_in_uk, Too late!! :) I think that, the IRCC official made necessary correction in the background. But everything worked out just fine for us so far.

Hello keet95, We were pretty much in the same situation. I applied for my child's citizenship certificate at first. This application process is certainly easier: filling up only one form, and requires only a few papers to submit. After that I applied for my wife's sponsorship to Canada. By...

I sent my application to sponsor my wife on November 11. CPC Mississauga received it on November 14. I was able to link the application in My CIC on November 19. Nothing is special there yet, except telling that a file has been opened and no processing has been started. Nothing is in my ECAS, or...

Hello, We are planning to apply for our son's citizenship in the local Canadian High Commission. We are noticing that, two pieces identification are required to apply. One can be my son's local passport that he has received recently, and it contains his photograph. He also has his birth...

Hello Kurtz, In my ATIP report there is no section with the title "Application 1"! I am in the process of applying for another ATIP. My March one did not give me much hope. Wish everyone who are waiting all the best.

My ECAS showed decision made on the October 5th - 6 months of waiting so far with no other update except my file got transferred to CIC St Clair (from Mississauga CIC) in January, and St Clair asked for my fingerprints. I sent my fingerprints on February 1 and since then I have been waiting for...

Nothing new my friend. RCMP fingerprint processing is taking longer than expected. I applied for an ATIP report recently; let's see whether there is anything new for me.

Hello Kurtz, Have you received your ATIP report yet? My ECAS showed decision made on the October 5th - 6 months of waiting so far with no other update except my file got transferred to CIC St Clair (from Mississauga CIC) in January, and St Clair asked for my fingerprints. I sent my fingerprints...

Here is my timeline: Application sent on Jan 12, 2016; received by CPC Sydney, NS on Jan 14 Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) via email on March 13 Decision Made showed up in ECAS on April 1, 2016 (I received the PR Card in mail on the same day!) I...

Is it true that, if a Mississauga CIC applicant requires fingerprints, the application is transferred to St. Clair CIC for that (i.e. Mississauga CIC does not ask directly for fingerprints to be sent to RCMP)? After St. Clair CIC receives the fingerprints report from RCMP, the file again gets...

Hello Frenchie1980, Do not want to create any panic, but did you send your photo following the latest photograph specifications? Few of us who applied in January 2016 missed that and now praying that CIC won't return our application for photographs taken based on the older spec. Apparently, the...

HelenaD: [cont. from my previous post] I am planning to prepare another application package just in case CIC returns my current application due to photographs taken as per old specifications. I have noticed that, the latest version of the application form IMM5444E is still November 2015, which...

HelenaD: As you pointed out the fact that the photo specification has been updated for PR card renewal application, I just checked it in the CIC website. No, I did not send my pictures as per the recent specification. I received an acknowledgement of receipt on March 13 via an email and I am...
