Damn! December applicants already getting DMs! Good for you my friend! :) Congrats!
I am October and havent received anything.. I know this is only gonna get lots of people more upset or anxious about their PRs :p
I will just chill, have a beer and wait patiently for any news :)

I agree !! Congratulations.... but counting down the final days to the 12 month mark with nothing moving is frustrating
I need to meditate or something, but beer works too lol.

Still those countries usually do not induce really longer processing time, they are all collaborating well with CSIS. Best of luck anyway! I understand the feeling, but stay positive. This is only a matter of time.

Hi,

i know its a silly question, is background check is related to PCC only, because in our case they did not ask for PCC yet? is it mean they will start working on background check when they receive PCC(India).

no, what is referred to background check by the CIC account typically includes background, criminality, and security checks. Background includes whether you are in the relationship you described, whether your story seems true or not. Criminality is mainly the PCC. Security is deeper, done between secret services; are you a threat for terrorism, are you close to organisation trying to overthrow a government,... This is what can be much longer to process and for which the delay doesn't only depend on Canadian authorities.
Still, it's a bit strange to me that they did not request your PCC yet.

Its the same with us. They never requested PCC. We have attached Canadian PCC but not PCC from our home country. Ours is Nov 16 application.
