Dear Nekeol and seniors
I received my MR on 05 Jan 16 and I did it just after the day. Ecase shown my medical received on 09 Jan 16.
As I saw the form or my friends received medical request with schedule 4 background update papers after few days get Rprf.
But I didn't get schedule 4 & Rprf. I am confused. Would you please help me.
No worries
depend upon officer to officer, depend upon approvals from seniors, therefore don't worry and keep enjoying u r moving to Canada hopefully soon.
just enjoy ur life as much as u can, this homecountry enjoyment will be missed later on.

Hello All,

In need of your help here. Am a PNP Nominee and currently have my Background Check in progress since March 2nd 2016. The worry i currently face is a did my degree in UK from jan 2011 to june 2012, however didn't return back to my home country till August 2012. I already had a job waiting for me back home and accepted to commence the offer July 2012 with trainings for about a month. This trainings are done online with a Learning Management System as such was still in UK during the training till i came back and physically started at the office in August 2012. I used an immigration agent for my PR and it was after my application was submitted i discovered he put my stay in UK from January 2011- June 2012(being the duration of my masters rather than till August 2012. Meanwhile my old passport that have my Visa and stamps for UK trip is missing. I have obtained my UK ppc and it doesn't state my leaving date from UK as well as i have no criminal records ever.

NOTE: Didn't overstay in UK as my visa was still valid only my agent put June 2012 as my travel history meanwhile i left UK August 2012 first week.

My question is thus. What can i do in this situation and would Canada verify my leaving date from UK.

For all the applicants undergoing security checks, found this on another forum, simply quoting it here

Background check -- the basics:
· Timeframe: 0 - 21 months
· Steps that they take: If everything is cleared (medical is cleared, police report is cleared) they then start the background/security check (they will not do this before both things are cleared)
· From the first step they determine (with a CSIS member) if they want a in-depth report or simple one...
· Simple one takes about 90 days - 120 days
· In-depth takes about 180 days - 21 months --> further broken down to how in-depth they go... here are a few determining factors
o Your nationality and race
o Where you currently live
o Have you ever been rejected by a country
o have you ever been a refugee in a country and was that excepted
o how many courtiers you lived in
o Have you ever been in a country illegally
o Your Criminal record
§ if you have a record have you been rehabilitated and for how long
§ they do a full 12 months one if you had a criminal record
o And then they go into your personal stuff
§ eg. Bankruptcy ....
o They also will check your family background if they have reasons to suspect it
§ eg your brother is involved in anything that is related to their watch list (terrorism springs to mind here)
· Checks for most in-Canada apps are done by CSIS unless they think that they need to do checks in other countries...
· I asked him about the US and the UK ... all are done by CSIS unless they have reasons to check with local ...
· Now another hint he gave me is if your country is on the watch list for Canada you can find it on CSIS website ... I have not gone and looked at it so don€™t know ... but he says that Canada's list is exactly like US list so we should go look at that as well
· Here is also an added factor ... If you have ever worked for any governments you will be of interest even if you have ever been just a file clerk...
· Military background automatically = in-depth report ... (this means if the person sponsoring or the person being sponsored has any military background your looking at least 6 months check)
· Now for outside apps... you're looking at 6 months check anyway unless you come from a country that is visa exempt ...

This information is pretty old, from 2007, but i doubt the working of CSIS has changed in any way.
I think you are right , I spent till now 9 months in the security and I think because my husband is working as police officer so they need check in depth.

I have already received Medical Request and already done medicals and "Medical Results Received" line is also updated in ECAS.

What do you think that what they are doing with my application these days? Whether they are conducting background checks? or what could be the reason for the delay?

"Medical Request has been received" means they have already cleared your Medical.

Security & background check will be the on-going one for you. Time varies from applicant to applicant for security check. You are almost done. Next thing will be Payment of RPRF for you.

Dear All
I read all the conversation , I got main point that if they decided to extend the validity of MR FOR ANOTHER YEAR , then the application near to be done soon , However if they asked the applicant to re-submit his MR AGAIN , then the application still in progress and the security didn't end yet , am I correct ? I discovered in my last GMO that they extended my MR validity for another year this month but the security was whited out ( blanked) with no signs , numbers ( as 16 or 15) so I couldn't understand why they extended my MR by their own.

Re: Background Checks -EXPLAINED - Form IMM669E


Dear All

I have read on the forums that although the form IMM669E asks fro details since 18 years old OR for the last 10 years, it is recommended to always provide the data since your 18th anniversary.

How much truth is to that, are last 10 years mostly enough or the VO always comes back and asks for history since you are 18 YO, i mean who tracks their locations and addresses, with monthly details, since they are 18 year old...
