Hello,

First, sorry I had to post this in this thread again and along with one in main post.
It is because my passport will expire at the end of this year but I will not be able to renew my passport without PR.
I am from South Korea and currently going through a PR under spouse sponsorship category Inland.

CIC received my application for permanent residence on September 16, 2016
They sent my wife Spousal Approval on September 20, 2017
I got AIP on September 21, 2017.
Then, later on December 5, 2017, CIC requested PCC from US because I lived there for more than 6 months after 18. So, I sent the FBI background check request next day and they just adapted faster e-check system and I got the background check on March 2, 2018 and sent to CIC right away.

Please don't cross post. Please pick either here or a new thread. But not both.

A) if ECAS says Application Received: they have not yet begun AIP and are in Stage 1. If it says In Progress, you have likely passed AIP, and are in Stage 2. Remember, I said ECAS and not myCIC.

B) I'm confused. Just tell me ECAS only please.

C) Yup it can be. It can take 3-6 months, as the Security Checks are delayed.

ECAS or MyCIC. Two different systems. Two very different levels of quality. Tell me what ECAS says for both sides (login as sponsor).

The problem with cross posts is people invest time to answer in both threads.

It is an odd message from them, considering the state. Check ECAS tomorrow morning for a DM. Criminality is not the same as security. Criminality usually only takes a day or two...less than a week. Security can take 3-6mos.

I applied for PR in Nov 2016. I passed the medical in Oct 2017. Now my work permit exp in May 2018. Since I work in a field where medical was always required for work permit, would I need to submit another medical for renewal of my work permit since it's showing I've passed the medical exam on my PR application? I called the call center and they could not even answer that question with confidence, put me on hold then came back and said,"I THINK you MAY....if it says you need then you need"She made it seem like the application process is personalized, when it's not, some questions and request don't alway pertain to everyone in the application process. I just hate when ppl play on words when you're looking for a 'yes' or 'no' answer. How many more x-rays must I undergo in this country again. My life/health will be shortened to none by the time I land. Student visa;X-ray, student work permit;X-ray; graduate work permit;X-ray, PR;X-ray. I haven't left this country in the eight yrs I've been here. If I have anything, must've got it right here in Canada.

security check they are not processing this one since the beginning of the application?
