Inland Application 2011

[nazam80]

Hello,

My application was received in August 2011, and I received AIP in June 2012.

There has been no additional documents requested, or any any update ever since, other than my medical was received.

I have been calling CIC every week and all they say is that they are still processing my "background checks".

I submitted the police certificate from my home country when I submitted the application.

How many people from 2011 have not received the second stage approval after getting AIP?

Please share your experience with second stage approval, taking longer than 4 months.

PS. Does anyone know why it takes particularly long for some applicants to pass "background checks"?

Hey I got AIP on 31st OCT and them owp. After that on 4th no. They asked for finger prints which I sent on 7th nov. Since then no update. I am also 2011 august applicant.

Hope that helps

Why did they ask you for finger prints? Was that part of the police certificate from your originated country, but you hadn't completed yet? The police certificate from my home country does not include finger prints and I never submitted finger prints with my application..

Can you just clarify why they requested finger prints from you?

Thanks

They do an RCMP check against your bio data (name and DOB usually). If there is a name/DOB match on you in the RCMP database, they will ask for your fingerprints so they can do a fingerprint match to ensure that the potential records they did find are not yours.

CIC only asks for them when there is an ambiguity about your identity.

Normally if u lived in Canada more than a year they ask for fingers print it's quite normal. I sent them the police clearance from my country and also from another country where I lived around 10 years.

Hi,

We have the same timeline exactly.
Like you there haven't been any additional info request(medicals received updated) and all they say is that they are doing background checks.
They never asked me for finger prints as I am like you and my police certificate from my country didn't require it(If you have finger prints in the police database it means you once committed a crime..)
There is no logical explanation for it that's why a week ago I sent the request for foss notes so will I know what's going on and I will surely update you as soon as I get it.
My sister gave birth just few days ago and I missed it..
Frustrating as hell I tell you...

They asked for my fingerprints too.
Now I know the reason.

Hello everyone,

It's been almost five months since I got my AIP and haven't heard anything yet.

Just wondering, if I apply for Open Work Permit, how long is it valid for?

I'm debating whether I should apply for OWP, since I have no idea how much longer it's gonna take until 2nd stage approval..

but if OWP is only valid for a short period of time, I don't think it's worth applying for..

Can anyone tell me?

 

[avigtr]

I read that it takes something between 20-30 days so we have time.
The email you received is the confirmation email.
Please don't forget to update

[vinlander]

it depends, in our case it was valid for 1 year, some get it for 2 years, don't know why because some people got 2nd stage and some even landed shortly after getting a 2 years OWP...

Hey, Lab how is it going?

I'm guessing you haven't heard anything?? have you called the call center to see whats going on? I know most of the time they don't give you a proper answer but never hurts to try.
I hope you get your landing before Christmas! it'll be a good Christmas present.

Hey Kitchener

I haven't called now in a few weeks.........they will only tell me the same thing
According to my FOSS notes, it's just fingerprints their waiting on.
Unfortunately, I share a Last Name with some not so "Nice" people in my home country.........No Relationship to me but I'm sure CIC need to do a thorough check !!
So, according to the notes they will look at my file again in Jan.

Bet your glad your done !!

They received them on May 10th but didn't go back to my file until Sept. 19th
so, I'm thinking they only sent away the fingerprints on the 19th.
And, they asked me for an ink set, so I'm thinking up to 120 days from Sept. 19th. That will bring me into Jan 2013

Hopefully sometime in Jan I can join you in that party 8) 8) 8) 8)

I see.. I really hope you get it before or at least by Christmas.
I remember when I did my fingerprints there was few places I could go and one lady officer told me the "digital" finger prints are much faster for them to receive, that's why I didn't do the ink one. but they've received your finger prints for a while now so hopefully they'll speed things along.

cheers!
