Topic: Is this the final Stage??background check

If you have anything out of the ordinary, like the military as did my husband, it will be longer. They gave him a piece of paper that said to get the info. in right away as it "could take 12 to 18 months to complete the investigation". It took a full 18 months for them to do it. Grrrrrrrrr A better measure of when things are nearly done is when they ask you to sumbit a passport, or renewed one. Then it is closer.

Topic: CIC making life miserable

I have requested CAIPS, waiting for it now. Where do I contact/write/request anything from CSIS? I've never heard of where to contact them.
Thank you very much for your input. I also thought it would be highly irregular for them to do a second CSIS check. I also had the thought that maybe they had not actaully finished off the first one but went ahead and asked for the renewed medical/police/passport anyway to finalize things. But that does not make sense either if they confirmed on Apr 16 that the case was with an officer for a FINAL review. Do you mind if I ask how you know it's highly unorthodox to ask for a second background check? I'm not looking for your name/profession, just if I can quote to my MP if that statement is from a source who would know that to be generally true? thankyou yppgina

Topic: CIC making life miserable

Approved Sept 2006. Interview Nov 30, 2006. From there things went bad. In Feb 2007 they asked for more details about my husband's obligatory military service where he served as a supply clerk. Hardly a security threat. However they made the military investigation take ONE YEAR exactly from Feb 2007 to Feb 2008 and during that time the case underwent a CSIS background check that occurs back in Canada.
Finally that ended and in the first week of Feb 2008 they asked for and were given renewed medical and police report. They asked for and where given renewed passport on April 1, 2008. On April 16 they confirmed the case had already been given to an officer for a "final review". To me that means it's all done but a final read through to check for accuracy before issuing the PR Visa.
Everyone posting on this site has noted an average of 2 to 8 weeks after the passport is turned in until the PR Visa is issued. Our case has been with an officer for a "final review" since at least April 16 but NOW my MP says it is awaiting a background check per CIC Ottawa's electronic file.
I am shocked and confused as to why it seems to be sitting with CSIS yet again when they just finished a CSIS check in Feb 2008 and we were told on April 16 we were at the "final review" stage, not that it would be undergoing yet another active CSIS investigation. This is completely insane.

Topic: IF A GO AT EMBASSY IN PERSON ARE THEY GIVE ME INFORMATION ABOUT MY CASE???

My MP has now contacted the Minister's office for an answer to this no communication from the Lima Embassy. They had requested my husband's passport end of March and he dropped it off April 1.
I started writing on May 26, almost two months later since most PR Visas seem to be issued in 2-6 weeks. After 5 weekly requests, it's now been 6 weeks that they have not answered, 14 weeks since they've had his passport. I also sent a Case Specific enquiry mid June that has not been answered yet.
My MP wrote to Lima starting June 16, sent another request on July 2, and just today July 7 they sent an enquiry to the CIC Minister's office requesting info.
We'll see where this goes.

You hit the nail on the head when you said Canadian and local holidays. I am POSITIVE nothing happened the entire month before the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement was signed, IN Lima, AT the Cdn Embassy. Of course all work was halted to prepare for visiting dignitaries and the ensuing party and celebrations. Then came Canada day and I think there was "yet another" Peruvian holiday the Monday so of course an extra long weekend . Then in solidarity for the 4th of July must attend the U.S.-Cdn-UK annual party so another long weekend.
That's the job to get hey? Work in a Gov't country club job and get dual holidays every time both countries observe one. Where do I sign up.

Your note above said 15 days for a reply from a Case Specific enquiry, did you happen to notice if it said 15 business days, or just 15 days? June 27 has come and gone, so 15 business days would be Friday. I'm going to see if I get any reply by end of the day Friday, if not I'll add this to my list of enquiries not answered that I'm tracking with my MP's office. They also have a request in with them also that has not been answered after 2 1/2 weeks now, going on 3 by Monday when I contact them again.
thanks

hi Wolvie,
I just wrote an email to the Minister as well, but I don't think I'll get a reply. I got a confirmation receipt but it stated that many types of general enquiries will not be replied to, please use the list of processing offices to contact the one your case is with. Gee, isn't that WHY I'm writing the Minister because the jerks at the processing office haven't answered me in 5 weeks and my case is still in "final review" after 3 months, and is coming up to TWO YEARS in August since our application was sent in to Mississauga, TWO YEARS at the end of Sept since Lima Peru had our file to start on.
I will be writing your reporter as well, did you get a reply from him yet? I also have a letter that I got from some flunkie inside the CIC Minister's office the LAST time my case was stalled, I will be sending him the same letter contained in my email and see what his reaction is. But that will be several weeks until a reply comes.
Not sure if you've found this website but it is a great site for info. and stories too.
