Hi Luqi and other friends!
Due to Luqi’s GCMS Notes and comments (by other fellows) on that notes we are all interested in some terminologies and want to know the process of B/G checks. Let me contribute a little bit.
First of all, I am sorry, that this Post is going be an “Essay”, but don’t mind I am trying my best to provide you some information which may be helpful for some applicants. Let me start from Data Sharing agreements.
At the moments following agreements exist in the world about information regarding 3rd country’s nationals:
1- European Data sharing system (called EURODAC) the biggest collection of data in the world. Most advanced and unified system. Member country can get information within 24 hours about a person (all European Sates and Denmark, Norway, Sweden Switzerland are members) –
2- Agreement (Five Country Agreement) between USA, UK, NEWZEALAND, AUSTRALIA and Canada – efficient system but not unified, mostly burocratic, it will take weeks to get information regarding a particular individuals.
3- GCC Countries Agreement between KSA, UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar signed in 2012 –
4- Canada-US Visa Information Sharing signed on 13 December 2012 , this is unique agreement, under this agreement both countries are responsible to provide information about a national of 3rd country (upon request) who have filed an application for (any type of) visa for any of the country. It means if Mr. A applied US visit visa, then later he applied Canadian Immigration, but the CIC suspected that the information are not truthful then CIC will check with US and US will provide microfilmed copy of the application forms that Mr. A signed while applying US visa. Most Important is both countries do not provide any information about PRs and Nationality holders. So guys now you are not CANADIAN PR so they will check (randomly) your record but once you will be landed PR then your all searches will be deleted and on your file there will be no record of any search.
This information getting is 2 stage process – it can be completed in 1 to 4 months. At stage 1 CIC will send a request for Mr A through organized beurocratic channels, providing Name +DOB +PASSPOSR # + MOTHER/FATHER NAME, if there is any record in US then they will respond with limited data, then stage 2 starts, CIC will ask for full details, then US will provide “Full Package”
(Fully applicable to Canadian FSW Applicants) but remember these checks are on randomly basis.
5- US-Australia Visa Application Information sharing Agreement signed on 27 August 2014. It is same as Canada-US (same rules, same procedures, same terms etc), actually Australia realized the Importance while observing US-Canada Treaty, and so they signed it.
6- US – Pakistan information sharing agreement. Flow of information sharing is 1 way (from Pk to US) , shameful aspects is that Pakistan is providing information about Pakistani Nationals, the most dangerous aspect is US system is directly linked with NADRA, so unlimited access. This is 1st agreement of its nature in the present world.
FRC TERM
In
Pakistani sense it is Family Registration Certificate, according to
some members it is Further Review & Consultation. As per my findings while searching through CIC’s documents, publications and minutes of meeting etc, FRC stands for “File Requirement Checklist”
I visited several CIC dox in each dox FRC stand for “File Requirement Checklist”, now I am not sure whether it is same FRC in which we are interested for Luqi Brother. 1 of the link is:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2013/ob502.asp
But on couple of places FRC stands for “Failed Refugee Claimant” – brother in your case FRC required seems to me that they want to search you on all databases which mentioned above.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/evaluation/prra/section3.asp
You know a lot of Pakhtoons are Asylum Seekers in different countries, so may be due to KPK factor, they want to make sure that you are not failed asylum seeker. If this is true then simply speaking it is B/G check - but deeply, using all databases which I mentioned above. And this appeals to my mind for the following reasons:
1- If they wanted to get Family Registration Certificate, then they should have had required at early stage when they required some additional dox from you, at that time they should have had required FRC. But they did not …it means FRC is not a documents. It is some kind of B/G check. In this case “Failed Refugee Claimant” (FRC (status/check) Required) could be a code for the B/G going deep.
2- I searched a lot but I did not find any applicant who said that CIC asked him/her to send FRC. I did not find any single applicant (may be there is someone but it did not came to my notice)
3- You have 2 years un-employment so it raised a flag and Officer Thought may be, you were out of country for “Asylum”……therefore FRC..? If we think FRC as further Review & Consultation then still same thing that they want to search you on all databases…………..same thing…….. B/G……!
4- On your CSE they told you B/G….and in GCMS , recent activity is also Security Screening, so it means you are being searched on all databases, so nothing to worry…just a matter of time…!
5- At the end of GCMS notes, there is VO’s Comments saying
“Request PA updated forms, upon receipt send MEds RPRF updated PCC”
6- It means VO did his/her job, after updated forms your medicals are ready, the only thing is B/G…as soon as it finishes you will get medicals RPRF etc.
So the verdict is that there is nothing wrong with your file, and your medical forms are ready they are just waiting for B/G finishes then you will receive, immediately, medicals then PPR-1 and then PPR-2 at lightning speed.
