Hi Camino_walkers,

I am relieved to see your husbands BGC started inspite of having a Furtherance Letter. Actually I had a Furtherance Letter too and since they give a 60 day window I thought they would not start the BGC till 60 days even though I submitted my medical results of the additional tests yesterday. Your message gives me hope. I am a Nov 26 applicant.

Thanks and Regards

From what I've noticed around the form, background checks are starting around 4-5 months from the date the application was received

Hello S2111S,

Actually, my husband has had two furtherance letters. He had his medical in Jan 21, and as the CIC panel doctor has two weeks to submit his results (which he took), the first furtherance letter didn’t come until Feb 14. He was required to do a CT scan~ these results were submitted on March 1, with the second furtherance letter arriving March 4th. This last request was for another chest X-ray three months after the first one (when MR was done)~ so we’ve got another 6 weeks until then. The good news is that CIC seems to respond quickly, once testing results are submitted.

I’m hoping that you hear good news this week!

Hi everyone, i dont know if this is the correct thread for my question. i arrived in Canada as a live-in caregiver but i was released upon arrival. Im trying to look for sponsorship but im not that lucky enough. the option was i have a boyfriend for 5 years who already got the PR and we are trying to get married this May.

now my question is if there will be a problem on that? or i need to talk to my employer not to cancel my work permit until the spousal application is lodge?

any valuable answers will be appreciated.

Hi you said you just arrived and the employer released you as a live in caregiver? Then you should find an employer based on your category and as far as I know live in caregivers has a way to become a permanent residence if that is your plan you have to finish your contract so that you have a good record in Canada. I don’t know what happened on why your current employer released you right away that is not a good sign and then trying to become pr right away is another thing. If you and your boyfriend are genuine why he didn’t sponsor in the first place and instead of applying a live in caregiver? Just a question.

Weve been together for morethan 5 years proof can be submitted but we came from the country that marriage is not easy if you have a different religion, wherein you need to be converted before uou get married. Actually my question was already answered by an immigration lawyer. Thank you.
