Hello everyone,

I received a request for criminal record check(Canada) and police clearance from UAE(where I went for employment few years back).
They have asked me to email the documents. But I just want to confirm with anybody who has done it. Do I scan my criminal record certificate and fingerprints and email them? or do I have to mail them the hard copies? Because criminal record check and fingerprints were given to me by RCMP.

Any help would be appreciated. App received 25th Sep.
Thanks

Document request was for PCC from home country. No PPR as I am from visa-exempt country, and paid RPRF upfront on Jan 18, 2016.

Called CIC Call agent last week, and he said my file is very positive.

Anyone knows how long does it takes CIC to mail COPR?

Thank you,

Is your mailing address inside Canada? did you provide the shipping label?
I can imagine it will be sent by snail mail for those of us overseas, I have read some ppl received in 2/3 weeks

Just send them scanned copies by e-mail, if they asked so. If they need hard copies, they will inform you.

Two of my colleagues are still waiting for PPR/DM. AOR dates are 2014-09-12 and 2014-10-02. Although there are plenty of similarities of our cases, same company, same NOC, same representative and similar background (international students). It doesn't make a lot of sense.
For those who are waiting, this waiting is not alone. It may just depend on the VO working on applications.

Oh, there are also some other factors that could create the delay... e.g. how many countries you lived in before or have visited that requires CIC to do a longer background check.

We're from the same country and didn't live in another country than Canada.

If there is one thing that made my processing faster, it might be the fact that I fired my representative and started to take over my own application, do things upfront, whereas this representative is still fking around my colleague's cases.

Yup, you're better off to take responsibility yourself.

Hey OhWow! Have you received your Ready for Visa yet?
It has been a few months now, hope your application is being processed on time.

Nope. Waiting for decision.

Thanks A_Wonder. Appreciate your opinion !

Hello,

To all who did Upfront MR, when cic emailed you to confirm they received your MR, how long did it take ECAS to change to MR received?
