Honestly I don't know how long it will take. we emailed to immigration minister He said he can't force them to speed up the background check as this very important to canadian secretary. my case is different because I was in 3 different countries thats y they r taking long time. Don't worry they will call soon to bring the passport

So yeah well apparently the background check started back in may 2016 and my hubby never went out of country everything's is fine no charges so I really don't get it. I am actually going to visit him from april 22-may 12.. hopefully I can bring him with me but its still a doubt cuz they r not done with background check and its really annoying cuz for some ppl they do the check very fast and y for some ppl it takes forever
