this copied from one of the professionals >>>>>
(( Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.
This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.
If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.
-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside. )))
my question is if they are doing all these checking right now SO WHAT THEY DID IN THE PREVIOUS 5 YEARS > :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( ??? ???
anyway at this stage there is nothing you can do but wait and hoping for the best
one thing to consider is that the 5 months max that this post refers to is for India which has a much faster response rate because of the larger number of visa officers they have. The answer to your question as to what they've been doing in the past 5 years is that they have been doing nothing and our applications have been in the queue for most of it. based on what I gathered from my gcms notes and others' sometime in the middle of 2013 (a bit before people started to get their medical requests) they started to work on our applications. It's the same system no matter which programme you choose to use for immigrating to Canada; there is a very long queue waiting for you. I have another application through my husband whom I married 2.5 years ago and is a Canadian. I applied in August 2013 and I have been in a queue since without my application so much as being opened and that process apparently takes 10-40 days.Avissa said:A few things: First of all thanks for this post
