cantaloupe said:When you apply to an inland office for an immigrant visa, they request the Canadian Security Intelligence Service
for a background verification and a "security advice". The service then conducts a screening and replies to CIC with a report, based on the CSIS act. A visa officer then evaluates the report and determines whether you (and/or your dependents) meet the admissibility requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) to be eligible for a PR visa. For most people this is the last step. If an application is made to a visa office abroad, the process is similar, except Canada Border Services (CBSA) is also involved as a middle agency between CIC and CSIS.
That's awesome explanation cantaloupe! Just wondering if the CSIS would contact our home country ?
