Does anybody have experience with submitting Police Clearance Certificates at the end of your timeline and how long it takes before you get DM/Landing Interview?

I am a May 1st applicant, but since it took so long to get my PCC from another country I lived it, I couldn't send it in until May 25th. I know they need to verify the certificate with that country, but I'm hoping the rest of my application is mostly processed.

ECAS shows my application "in Process" and we have "Decision Made" on the sponsor's side since May 1st, 2018.

I can happily say that I landed today in Etobicoke! Got DM about 7-8 weeks ago so it's probably ~2 months wait time between DM and Landing for that office.

Inland Jan 2017 application, 16 months total processing.

Any questions HMU, just glad this is all finally over and done with. Best of luck everyone!

Feb 2017 applicant. I lived in two countries before. Submitted one ppc online May 2017. Cic requested the other ppc from the other country in Jan 2018. That country will only issue ppc upon request from cic and will only mail directly to cic. Deadline for my ppc was Feb 2, 2018. I think cic received my ppc end of Feb.

my background check is still in other now. 16 months already. No update.

What was the deadline for your ppc on the CIC request letter?

Congrats..I'm a Feb 2017 applicant. Still doing background check. No update. Do you know why yours took 14 months to get DM? I'm worried about mine because my country submitted my ppc 2 weeks late. But cic has received it since the end of Feb 2018. And I have received my SA and AIP end of Feb 2018 also. But no update since then. When did you get your SA and AIP?

Yes I saw 2 other people recently asking a few days ago if the office is opened on Saturday and one of them called to cic and cic confirmed they’re open on Saturday because they’re too busy.

You probably have the receipt on your email,search cic you probably will find it!

Congratulations!
Thank you! I asked my lawyer for a copy of the receipt today and was able to get it immediately.
Not sure if Service Ontario officers will be at site on Saturday so I can obtain a new SINs...

Thanks for your reply, and sorry to hear you are still waiting.

The original deadline for my PCCs was April 11th (they requested it March 13th - so less than a month to obtain and send in!), but they gave me an extension to June 1st. They are both submitted now as of May 25th, so at least I'm not passed the deadline. But I am now going on my 13th month in the process.

Hearing this long delay with yours somewhat confirms my worst fears. I spoke with an IRCC agent on the phone and he told me that they basically can't do anything until they get the PCCs, that the application would be on hold, in essence - I was just hoping it would only be a month or so.

What does your ECAS show? Are you In Process and does your sponsor have Decision Made?

Nothing out of the ordinary, and because I had obviously fully disclosed my very minor arrest history (an arrest that resulted in a small fine) when I answered 'yes' to the 'have you ever been arrested, charged, etc' question they already had my history on file so it wasn't an issue.

Mostly it was just making sure all the details they had on file for the PR were correct, very simple. Hope that helps!
