Got our PPR early this morning. VO Warsaw.. Nov 19, 2021 applicants.

For those following our story, this means that IRCC did indeed accept the "online" police certificate from Russia.
Congratulation!!! Finally you reached the end of the tunnel! All the best in your next move!..

Hello!
Is anyone know how long they take for background check?
Thanks.
Unfortunately, there is no limit or service standard as this is done outside of IRCC.. Depends a lot on the case. On average it seems to be two-three months. Some however get this very quick, other can wait for a year...

Hi man! Tell me please, how long took in your case background check by VO Warsaw?
Thanks a lot.
Everything for us in the new tracker was set to "Completed" (including background check) since around Jan 25th. I think everything after that was just formalities - submitting a new police report, medical check, etc.

After we submitted those two new things we were still waiting for PPR - so we contacted our MP and he contacted IRCC and they said our application was at "all stages complete - awaiting final review".

So I submitted a webform to IRCC saying that our case was past the normal processing time and asking why the final review was taking so long, etc. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but about 2 weeks after that we got our PPR.

If you haven't already done so, I would strongly recommend contacting your member of parliament - now that you are past the normal processing time, IRCC is obligated to provide you with a response.

Ours went right from "Not Starter" to "Completed" on January 25th.

That being said, on Jan 25th, some new history items showed up that were not there before. It showed that the background check supposedly started on December 20th.

I emailed the Warsaw VO many times but they never replied. That being said, it can't hurt to email them. I did email them as well when we were awaiting final approval but they never replied, however they do read all emails.

I also at the same time submitted a webform with IRCC about us awaiting final decision. They typically did always reply to my emails within 2-3 weeks (just saying your application is under processing). This specific time they did NOT reply, so it's possible they read my webform and actually took action. Again we got our PPR around 2 weeks after I submitted the webform.

You contacted you MP by phone or email?

By email - MP offices are typically fairly responsive - we always got a reply the same day. Just let them know you submitted your application in Nov 2021 and it is now well beyond reasonable processing time.

Try emailing your VO directly, as well as submitting a webform to IRCC. IRCC *will* reply to your webform since you are past the normal processing time
