I have been through what you are going through before; it is indeed very frustrating.
Background checks are very unpredictable because they are personal and even CIC cannot tell you the exact time. This is because CIC does not conduct the background checks themselves, they forward them to other authorities. In my personal experience it took them 9 months only for the background check. That was for an earlier application. I am Palestinian and have lived exclusively in UAE since birth.
Have you even visited Canada? Or have applied for any other visa to Canada (like a TRV)?

Because as i said before, they are lazy and they don't work.
they never followed up with me when i sent the documents until July of 2016 when i contacted my MP then they responded and said that they did not receive the documents, i proved it to them that i have the auth reply confirmation from their email.
Anyways they have recently requested police clearance certificate from the FBI and my wife has never lived in the US, she has only visited the US time in her lifetime. so this is another way that show how much incompetent they are.
anyways we have requested the FBI clearance certificate in Feb but according to their website it takes 3.5 months to get the certificate so we are still waiting for it.
I am sorry you had to go through such an experience! I am not sure why they are asking for an FBI clearance, maybe because your wife visited the US within the last 5 years? Me personally I have been through a unfortunate delays as well with CIC before but that was for a multiple TRV.
Ziad: no I didn't apply for any other Canada visa
When did u apply for ur application on 2015 or 2016? Cause u said ur earlier application!!!! Kindly explain

I applied for a multiple TRV before (in 2015), I got the visa but it took them 9 months for the background check.
My current application for spousal sponsorship was filed in nov 2016.
In all cases I am not sure if CIC follows the same procedures for TRVs and Spousal for the background checks.

TRV ... is temporary resident visa ... it is tourist visa... my husband is Jordanian from Palestinian roots and he had granted TRV in 2015 and it did not take that much time ... it did not take 9 month ... it was granted in two weeks.
Bottom line guys ... Arab nationality take the most time in the background check ... so we have nothing but to wait ... i have met my Canadian Parliament Member she said she will check and get back to me ... let see.

I sponsoring my husband from saudi arabia, since 2010 he received a letter from the embassy of abu dhabi office and he start to fill up the form and send to them, july 2010 they start to process his papers, by then we didn't heard anything to the embassy for more than one year, so I'm worried coz it takes so long, so I ask my husband to follow up and send e-mail to the embassy he send e-mail on January 2012, after 3 days they response to him, and send again the same application form to fill up. this time asking the PICTURES, CENOMAR, CARDS, LETTERS, TELEPHONES BILLS, E-MAIL..
But, I worried b'coz before when he fill up the form the question is. Have you been previously been married? he's answer is NO. then I find out when he request for the CENOMAR he been married year 2000. my husband and I we've married 2007 . so what we gonna do!!!!. is there a problem regarding this.
please help me, and give me some advise.
thank you.
Anyone please share, was there a spousal application had been refused because of not disclosing bank case? Criminal case due to bounced cheque, but case closed, with clearance certificate?
1- Is there a problem if the husband was married b4 but wrote NO in the application beside that question?
Kindly anyone advise!!!!
2- Plus he passed his processing time (12 months) now completed 13 months
And they still sending him email that they are currently conducting certain background investigations.
Is this is normal? Or should he worry about!! He only been to Egypt & Qatar

W.M: It is normal, sometimes responses from the agencies take time, it all depends on the response from other countries agencies where your husband has been to. I think once the background check is done then your application will be finalized. There is nothing to worry about. Keep positive & don't think about it every single day. It will come one the day when you least expect it.
Good luck.
We received the FBI clearance certificate yesterday and i have already sent a copy of it via email to the embassy.
Today i was checking MyCiC and under background check there is a new update.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Before it used to say the next step is to conduct background check.
So it looks like they are working on the file.
Great that's good
Inshallah u get visa soon u waited too long
How about your final decision part what they wrote in it???
