When does the Ottawa office ask for security clearance from FSW applicants?

[Nazmul.Islam]

Hello,

I applied for FSW class in 2147 category. I am a Bangladeshi national but I am applying from New Jersey, USA. My application received Nova Scotia on June 4, 2013. I just received an "eligibility to be processed" email from CIC today . Now, they will send my materials to Ottowa, Canada (my visa office) for further processing.

I did not send my police certificates (security clearance) at that time. We (me and my wife) will have to provide security clearance for both USA and Bangladesh because we have lived in these two countries during the last few years. My wife is going to Bangladesh day after tomorrow. She will return after three and a half months. Hence, if Ottowa office asks for security clearance within the next three months, my wife will find it difficult to give FBI security clearance. Does anyone know when the Ottowa office may ask for my security clearance? If it happens after four months, we should be Ok.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Nazmul

It will take sometime before they request for the PCC. I would suggest that you get the FBI fingerprints before she leaves for the home country
