Criminality checks are different from background checks. Criminality checks entails checking whether we already have been charged with offence, while background checks pertain to terrorism, espionage and subversion. A person can have a clear criminal record (not caught yet) but be affiliated with terroristic organization, have multiple fake identities, participate in overthrowing the government illegally etc. And given how bureacratic all security organizations are, it is inevitable that these checks take long. After all, it is for our benefit. When we get to Canada, we will expect to live in security and safety. This is not possible unless each immigrant is carefully checked.

Yes, that is what I fear..& most of the people who did their medicals around the same time I did has already received their PPR.. I also plan to go to Canada soon.. I just really wish they would send me the PPR. :! & you too guys, it's really unfair that we wait so long & get stuck in the middle :S

Would they accept me swearing that I am no criminal as enough background checks? ;)

Thanks Ketevan.. I was just kidding :)..
What I meant is that I am clear regarding all of those issues, so I would have expected it to be faster..

I just REALLY hope we receive it soon..
It is about time..

I can't imagine how some people waited for as long as 8 years! I guess they might enter heaven only because of their patience for this :D

Hi bonvista,

I did not shop for the cheapest ticket because the only direct flights from London to Montreal are by Air Canada and British airways. So I will just go for it if I get visa. But another forum member mentioned that KLM is the cheapest to land in Canada.
Re stuff shipment, sorry - no idea as I have no stuff of my own (everything belongs to the landlord).

did they send you an email regarding PPR2 or they sent passports directly ? what did they mentioned in their email if they did send you ?
They sent me email regarding PPR-2, and asked me to submit my valid passports to islamabad embassy, see below

Dear Applicant,
Your application has reached the final stage of processing. Now that Step 1 has been completed, you must now complete Step 2 so that your permanent resident visa(s) can be issued.
Step 2: Submit the following to our office in Islamabad (not to our London office):

1. Your passport and a passport for each accompanying family member. The passports must be the same as the
photocopies submitted to London in Step 1. If you have obtained new passports, then you must start again
from Step 1. (Do not submit passports for accompanying family members who are entitled to Canadian
citizenship, because they will have to travel on their Canadian passports.)

2. The Return Address Label on page 2 of this letter, fully completed.
For security reasons, you cannot submit your passports in person. Send your passports by courier to:

PHEP LDN
Immigration Section
Canadian High Commission
Sector G-5, Diplomatic Enclave
Islamabad, Pakistan

Submit your passport(s) and return address label to our office in Islamabad within 30 days of the date of this letter
(or the date of the email if you received this by email). All passports for you and your accompanying family
members must be submitted together in one package.
You should expect to be without your passport(s) for four weeks, so do not arrange any travel that will require your
passport(s) during this period. Due to the postal situation in Pakistan, your passport(s) will be returned by TCS
COD (“Cash on Delivery”) courier in order to ensure secure delivery. You will need to present valid ID and pay
the service charges to TCS when you receive them. If you have not heard from TCS after four weeks, you may
contact us at the London office using the email form on our website above. Please send all enquiries regarding
this application to the London office (not the Islamabad office).
Sincerely,

High Commission of Canada
