Thanks @Miss bee for your clear and concise answers I really appreciate it.
Another quick question - is there any direct resources online that can direct my employer in creating an employer Portal and pay the fee online?

Hi @Miss bee , thank you for you support in this thread. I have a peculiar question:
I'm waiting for P2 and hopefully I will receive it in the next couple of weeks. I am in Canada but in a couple of months I might have to travel abroad for about a week. Based on the timelines shared, I don't think I will have received my PR card before the trip. If that happens, what do you suggest? I know about requesting PRTD (permanent resident travel document) while being abroad without a PR card, but is that the best/proper way to do it? Thank you again.

Yea if you don't have PR card , only option is PRTD unless you are from visa exempt country.

Hi everyone,
I’ve already submitted my immigration application and included the IMM5406 (Additional Family Information) form.
I do not have any children, so when filling out Section B: Children, I wrote "Not Applicable" in the "Relationship" field and left the other fields blank.
However, after submitting, I downloaded the final PDF and noticed that Section B appeared completely blank — even the part where I wrote “Not Applicable” didn’t show up.
Now I’m unsure — will IRCC consider that section incomplete since it looks empty?
Should I send a webform to explain that I don’t have children and that Section B is intentionally not filled?
Has anyone experienced something similar? I’d really appreciate your helps!

Hey everyone & @Miss bee,
I applied for Non-Express Entry PR under the SINP Student Stream on February 17, 2024. My background check started in August 2025, but I haven’t received any updates since then.
I ordered my GCMS notes, and they mention that my file is currently under a comprehensive security check. Still waiting on the final decision.
Is anyone else in the same situation? Also, has anyone here lived in Turkmenistan and gone through this process?
Thanks in advance!

The same thing happened to me as well. IRCC asked resume and a Government-related (HR in Education) form, then a comprehensive background check still waiting for the final decision. It has been 10 months already
Hey, did you receive the FD? If yes, how long does it take after this security check?
Many applicants under the SINP Student Stream, especially in the non-Express Entry pathway, have experienced prolonged delays once their applications enter the comprehensive security screening stage. Based on shared experiences from forum, it’s common for this phase to last anywhere from 10 to 16 months, and in some rare cases, even up to two years. These extended delays are usually due to the involvement of multiple security and intelligence agencies, particularly when an applicant has lived, studied, or traveled in countries that may trigger more in-depth check.Since your GCMS notes indicate that your file is currently under security screening, it’s likely still progressing, even if no updates have been provided since August 2024. Many applicants in similar positions have eventually received approval after long periods of silence. In the meantime, it’s a good idea to continue ordering GCMS notes every 30–60 days, submit periodic IRCC webform inquiries to keep your file active, and consider contacting your local Member of Parliament (MP) for a status check. While these actions may not speed up the process, they help ensure your file doesn’t get overlooked. If it continues far beyond the average timeline without resolution, you might also consult an immigration lawyer to discuss the possibility of a mandamus application.
