Hey yall! I’m stressing out so bad here. I applied for my PNP nomination (Alberta) in September 2023, and received a nomination in March 2024. I submitted a PR application in April 2024, but I haven’t received an AoR, the problem is my work permit expires in September. What do I do so I don’t loose status or at least don’t loose my status. Thank you!!

Do you think it's normal that none of my background checks are cleared?

Thank you very much. On another post which specified the link to the webform, you commented that the webform is not updated. Is that link correct. Because the letter I received for uploading renewed passports had the same link which I used

Don’t worry you will get AOR by that time and you can apply for BOWP . By the way do you have Employer restrictions on your nomination letter?

Hi, I’m new in this group. I’m a closed work permit holder and currently is working for my employer in BC. I, via a representative, submitted bc PNP non-express PR application in early March 2023. Received police certificate request in early April 2023, and then received updated resumes ( I and my wife) in mid October 2023. After that, I do not hear a word about the application. The processing time is keeping shorter and shorter after submitting the application. Any advice? What should/can I do? Thanks.

@Miss bee: Can you please advise? Thanks.

@Miss bee: Can you please advise? Thanks.

Your application will be processed according to processing time which was currently in effect that time . Looks like you are stuck in eligibility stage. You can request GCMS notes and see what’s going on.

This is normal. It’s only 3 months when you got AOR . Wait couple of months and you will get update.

@Miss bee : one more question, do you mean if the processing time say was 20 months when I submitted the PR application, my application processing time will be according to 20 months. The current processing time 11 months is irrelevant to me and no impact to my application?

Yes absolutely. Most of applications are processed before given timeframe so you don’t have to worry about it . It won’t take 20 months unless you are stuck in comprehensive security checks.

@Miss bee: Do you know what are the criteria for doing a comprehensive security check? What happened if a comprehensive security check is required? Thanks.

Security Screening’ is one of the stages of an application that has been shrouded in complete secrecy. For permanent resident applicants, security screening shows up as a part of the Background Check (BGC) in their MyCIC account. The background check is a catch-all phrase for Criminality, security and info sharing.
Background Check status in MyCIC account will change from “not applicable,” to “in progress,” then again to “not applicable,” and again to “we are processing your background check” during the processing of an application. Since BGC encompasses criminality, security screening and info sharing, the BGC status changes once early in the processing of an application when the criminality checks are done and then again when the security screening is initiated.
A security screening request is a message transmitted to NSSD and screening partners to request in-depth screening of a person’s background.

The various types of requests and the security screening partners to whom the request for permanent resident applications are sent is as follows:

Section of IRPA	Screening Values – GCMS	Criteria	Case goes to
34	Security screening record check	Most inland applications	CSIS
34	Security screening Comprehensive check	Inland and overseas applications that meet one or several of the following: • the applicant is subject to a lookout related to section 34 of IRPA • the applicant meets one or more of the iapplicable screening indicators listed in the Immigration Control Manual – 2 • the officer suspects that the applicant may be inadmissible pursuant to subsection 34(1) of IRPA	CBSA, CSIS
35	Human and International Rights Violations (HIRV)	• the applicant is subject to a lookout related to section 35 of IRPA • the applicant meets one or more of the iapplicable screening indicators listed in the Immigration Control Manual – 2 • the officer suspects that the applicant may be inadmissible pursuant to subsection 35 of IRPA	CBSA
37	Organised Crime	• the applicant is subject to a lookout related to section 37 of IRPA • the applicant meets one or more of the iapplicable screening indicators listed in the Immigration Control Manual – 2 • the officer suspects that the applicant may be inadmissible pursuant to subsection 37(1) of IRPA	CBSA

Sending a Security Screening request to NSSD and screening partners.
Steps to take when your application is stuck in security screening to too long?
The first order of business is to check your GCMS notes and see if your eligibility has been conclusively passed. (see 2. When does security screening start?). It has been more than 110 days since your eligibility was conclusively passed, then there is a high likelihood that your application may be in comprehensive screening and may take longer.

Next is to determine whether CBSA or both, CBSA and CSIS, are involved in the security screening. To find when the security screening request was sent or when an agency concluded its involvement, request CBSA notes or CSIS notes. With the help of the notes you will be able to know where your application is and whether CBSA / CSIS have provided their reports to IRCC and if the delay is at the end of IRCC.

If an inordinate amount of time has lapsed and your application is stop pending in security screening, you must consult a lawyer to review whether your case is an appropriate one for a “Humanitarian & Compassionate application” or for a “Writ of Mandamus.”

You’re so kind thank you! No I got the PGWP and the three year length expires this September. By the way, did you also apply to PNP? If so, What are/were your timelines, if you don’t mind?
