Please help me Eagle . At what stage is my application , are they working on my background ?

Good Day Telia,

When Paper File Location says: Put Away & Application Assignment due date is outdated( meaning the due date is past) it is a pretty good sign that CIC is waiting for something from a different department. In your case I understand Criminality is the only thing waiting to be completed.

Remember when we receive GCMS notes, these notes will always come with an outdated information meaning they will reflect the information up to the day they are downloaded then you will not see anything added on your GCMS. So, there is 100% possibility for you not to get the current status of your application. Who knows that the same day your GCMS notes were downloaded few hours later CIC updated your Criminality and you will not know it until you request another GCMS set. I will advise you to order new set anytime from now if you wish to do so.

Conclusion: Yes, you are stuck in the background checks based on the date when these notes were downloaded. You and I are left in the dark of what was added on your actually GCMS by CIC from January 27 up to now.

Bring forward date is the date your file need to be looked. It is a clerical system used in administration, it helps to track every job needed to be completed in the future and increase & maximise production. So CIC also use this system to make sure your application remain in queue until completion. When your Criminality will be done, CIC will assign a new due date for your entire file again.

Based on your timeline, I am able to read between the lines that you are nearing to a positive completion of your file. I cannot see an interview coming, trust me if there was one CIC would contacted you 6 months ago to inform you about the date and place of the interview. If I were you, I'd chill out and start getting ready for Passport Request. I don't know when they will ask your passport to stick the visa. Your application is heading in the right direction, above all I strongly recommend to order your GCMS for double assurance as well because Eagle is not an immigration officer.

Hi Eagle333,

Welcome back to this informative forum.
I have Received third caips result recently. Nothing new in it I found.It reflects same image as my previous Caips result. File is still on location" Active self PR" since Oct 26,2015.
Eligibility, criminality and medical is passed security still blank. Status shows " In process" since Oct 09, 2015. I found Due dates in both Caips results same which is Dec 24,2015. What does it means? Like they have had a look on my file on dec 24 and put it back for new date? Why aren't they sending PPR???

Hi Eagle,

Can you please share your views on the following? I contacted my MP for an update and his office informed me :

"Medical and eligibility checks for the file have passed and currently they are performing the criminality check. However, as of today, they have not begun the security check portion of the file."

My questions are:

1) If eligibility has been passed does that mean now I dont have to worry about interview?
2) How long does the criminality and security portion take? (My husband was in Canada for 3 years and we have submitted his PCC for Canada with our file - but it was issued before he left the country)
3) Remedical request was Jan 28- completed on Jan 30 - when would be the best time to apply for the GCMS notes?

Thanks a lot in advance .. your help is truly appreciated :)
