OLD IN PROCESS VS NEW IN PROCESS ON ECAS EXPLAINED

[SenoritaBella]

Mine says:
Application received Jan 8, 2014
We started processing March 27, 2014 (GCMS notes from Feb 2015 showed nothing had been started yet)
Medicals have been received

I noticed the second line 2 weeks ago but not sure when it changed.

Any thoughts or comments, Eagle333?

Elger background checks are for everybody. No matter what category you apply under. I will post in few hours the sources of my other information.

I know dear but my question is that do they even go further to see if I had loans in country x which I left or background check is just criminality?

Thanks 9nce again

Thank you for your comments Eagle333,

Tomorrow I will try to persuade my wife that we should get a second set of notes.

It has been a very long haul. The new government has promised to shorten wait times. Let us see if they keep this promise so that nobody else will have to endure such long and unreasonable waits.

As for some of the questions they asked my wife over the telephone, they included the following:

1. How did we meet?
2. Who introduced us?
2. How do we communicate? (my office colleague speaks fluent Russian and he translates for us on Skype). (The immigration officer asked about this.)
3. Had I been to Ukraine to meet my stepson and mother in-law?
4. Where did we get married?
5. Does my wife work? (My wife told the immigration officer that I support her).


These are the questions that I am aware of. There could have been others.

In the write up in the GCMS notes, they refer to us as "of different age and origin". I am 50 and my wife is 35. I know of other couples with an even greater age difference.

I cannot wait to see what other delightful comments are contained in the GCMS notes.

Thank you for all of your help.

No that is not part of background checks. There is no problem with that.

You'll see that someone mentioned his wife's case has been in background checks for 8 months now! What do you think is the reason for such a delay? Nowadays they are working on PPRs of April 2015 applicant and some ppl who applied back in April 2014 are still waiting for background checks for months and months!

This really really scares

SenoritaBella,

you should order new GCMS now is the time. You have the same timeline as my sister in low. If you have not received any additional docs at this point you should not be worried so much. In 6 months if they did not call for an interview don't even think about it because they usually communicate interview details at the very early stage of the application. I recommend GCMS at this time of your file. I checked your the way your VO operate and at this stage you are few weeks away from PPR. Warm regards

See? I was not shy to tell you that your wife had a phone interview with CIC. They wanted to compared what you people wrote in the forms. They thought if they call without warning your wife they might get her confused and get the truth. The truth is the truth and will always remain the truth however if you tell lies you need another to cover the first one then you will need a third lie to cover the second one lol. As long they see there is love and no makeups in the application they won't have any problem with the age difference and origins.

Dear Bubbles87,

It is something I don't agree with CIC on that level. If you have noticed on the forum you will see that some countries' applications are being processed with a big delay compared to other countries. I don't want to sound weird but it is sad to see people from Pakistan and other countries they can stuck in background checks even 1 year which is leaves the applicant with no hope.

 

[Mhikyla12]

Mhikyla12 the application is your husbands, not yours. Select No to that question. You as the sponsor are requesting notes for your husband's application. This is why your husband needs to fill out a consent form giving you permission to access his information.

Thanks Andrew-Brit!

[Eagle333]

For those who would like to study in depth how CIC works in the Visa Offices, I will post a link that I have been using for years now. In this you will find so many stuff. This will keep you busy as you wait your background to be completed. Enjoy the reading.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op02-eng.pdf

Procedure: Conducting interviews
Officers should interview applicants and their family members only when it is essential to assess an application. Waive interviews whenever possible.
Interviews may help to confirm applicants' identities and relationship to sponsors or other family members. Interviews may also clarify any questions about applicants' admissibility.
Interviews may be conducted at a visa office or any other appropriate location.
Ask applicants to bring any documents necessary for the selection decision.
If a relationship of convenience is suspected, officers may wish to interview applicants (and sponsor where applicable) separately.
Focus interviews on information essential for the decision.
See OP 1 for more information on interviewing applicants.

Cases are different ahmedwaqas you might be talking about the minority look at the big picture. I have friends who are stuck in background checks for 10 months, 1 year. I also read a lot the appeal thread to measure out things and you know what? I learn so much. Lot of people read the appeal thread only when they rejected, remember that people can still read that thread too and see how lucky they are when they escape that road.

Thanks Eagles for sharing your knowledge to us.

Here's my wife's PR app:-

1.We received wife's application for permanent residence on May 1, 2015.
2.We started processing wife's application on July 9, 2015.
3.Medical results have been received.
VO: London UK

PR status changed to in process on the 28th of August. I ordered notes and received it at the end of Sept but it doesn't show anything besides medical has passed.

Any ideas what's next? do you think it's worth it to re-order notes?

Thanks

Just got my notes and it says " The processing of your request is now complete and I am pleased to enclose the documents requested. Certain information qualifies for exemption pursuant to section(s) 16 (1) injurious to the enforcement of any law in Canada or a province or the conduct of lawful investigations of the Access to Information Act.

Would this mean they have started the checks? It said on the notes that they weren't started yet. Passed both eligibility and medical tests!
