Faith is the key bro! We have succeded, just waiting for our testimony, Amen! What's your Uni? Mine is Niagara College,Ontario.

VICTORDEBELS:
Hey guys! Has anyone tried to track his application lately? I have been trying for over a week now but couldn't get through to it.

Finally, the tracking website hitches have been resolved.

Hello guys, i got this info from a friend and i decided to share it here ...

[b]Background & Security Checks

Note: Our Background Check comprises of 2 parts:
1. The Standard Documentation Checks,
2. The Security & Criminality Checks.

Standard Documentation Checks:
Our background check is done at the CHC stage. It commences the moment our file gets the 1st BFD by the VO. An indicator of which is the e-CAS that shows "In Progress". All docs been checked & our NOC being tallied against the MI, if the VO finds our case 'eligible' for Canadian PR, the file becomes 'Accepted'; and then it goes for standard background checks, viz. Exp, Quals, Adaptability, Qualitative Considerations etc.

The process involves many things. If our case file is well presented and the enclosures vouch the quality-quantity, adequate POF docs etc., there might not be a requirement of 'actually' calling the employers, references etc. The VOs have a way with that, they are experienced enough to ascertain the logical disposition of our case. But, if there are any concerns of his/her, s/he is likely to ask for additional docs, do further scrutiny vide any means [calling, visiting etc.] & might ask for an Interview.

-Culmination: When 'fully' satisfied, we get the 'Medical Request'.
-Timeframe: Can be anything around 3-8* months, for the 'fast track' system (Avg. 4-5 months).
-eCAS: Continues to Show 'In Process'.
*The older system has a queue, thus can be longer.

Security & Criminality Checks:
A part of the b/ground checks is the 'Security Check'. It commences after our med results are submitted to the CHC. This is a major activity -mainly concerning our 'safe inclusion' into the Canadian Soil; vis-a-vis, Political, Socio-Econmical, Anti-Social disposition, perceived Threat to Canada's integrity etc. This gets us the SDEC, CDEC & SECCRIM.

This is a serious & time-consuming stage, involving many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. Many things are considered here... the No. of countries visited, Applicant coming from 'certain' countries, ex-Servicemen [including Law Enforcement services], Prolonged stay in a country w/out sufficient docs to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations, your *Name (?), Inter-Religion/Nationality Marriages etc.

If everything is simple & straight, the file soon gets into the 'final review' stage. If there are any 'red flags', our case goes into a 'spin'. Then our file might go to the local Police/CID agencies; the outcome/timeframe of which is beyond the control of CIC. And thereby the timeframe can be anything [sometimes beyond 1yr]. But, usually this stage should be over by 5 months max. However, a point to be noted is that we can also be called for an Interview [at this stage], due to this reason.

-Culmination: Only upon security clearance we receive the PPR.
-Timeframe: Around 2-6 months. Avg. 3 months. [With new system, sometimes PPR is clubbed with Meds]
-eCAS: Still 'In Process', but 'Med Results Recd.' inside.

*Yes, that's how a certain Mr. Sharukh Khan was detained for 4.5 hrs in an US port. He was a VIP, thus 4.5 hrs. For u & me -things could be different.
...
The Process in a Nutshell:

Stage-1: [CIO stage] Send Initial Apps+Processing Fees to CIO-NS > Qualitative Check > Issue of AOR+120 days Letter >

Stage-2: [CHC stage onwards] Send Full Docs+RPRF to the Local Visa Office > File on Queue > e-Cas: "Received by Visa Office" > Eligibility Check+PSDEC > Issue of 2nd AOR > Background Check > Issue of Additional docs Request [if any] > 1st BF'D > e-Cas: "In Process" > Send Addnl. Docs > Issue of Med Request > 2nd BF'D >

Stage-3: Meds Sent > e-Cas: "Medical Results Recd." > Issue of PPR* > Send Passport/s > Security Check > Visa/s Stamped > e-Cas: "Decision Made" >
*The Meds & PPR are sometimes 'clubbed' together.

Stage-4: Return of 'Stamped' Passport/s+COPR > Landing at the POE > e-Cas: "Completed".

PROGRAM APPLIED FOR: MASTER OF EDUCATION (EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION)

FIRST DEGREE: BSC (ED.) BIOLOGY

DOCUMENTS
LOADS OF FASTING AND PRAYER;
IN MY FIRST APPLICATION THAT WAS REFUSED, I USED THE ADMISSION LETTER FROM FACULTY OF EDUCTION(I did not wait for the Acceptance Letter from the Admissions Office because I received it very late. I think that was why PURPOSE OF VISIT was stated as one of the reasons for my denial. But in the second application, I submitted the ACCEPTANCE LETTER from the Admissions Office, which is more detailed than the one from the faculty of Education.
IMM 1294E (APPLICATION FOR STUDY PERMIT)
IMM 5645 (FAMILY INFORMATION)

Another thing that I worked seriously on was my SOP. IN THE FIRST APPLICATION, I overlooked a lot of things in my SOP, but in the 2nd application, I made sure I left no stone unturned. For example, I have an unused 3 month Tanzania visa on my passport; the passport expired in November, 2014. In my SOP, I explained why I did not travel to Tanzania before the visa expired.
EMPLOYMENT LETTER
LETTER OF CONFIRMATION
PROMOTION LETTER
LETTER OF INTRODUCTION FROM SPONSOR (MY EMPLOYER)
LETTER OF SPONSORSHIP FROM SPONSOR (MY EMPLOYER)
STUDY LEAVE APPROVAL LETTER
COMPANY'S CAC DOCUMENTS ( I did not submit tax clearance though);

COMPANY STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT ( 3 months with a closing balance of N57M)
MY PERSONAL STATEMENT OF ACCOUNT ( 3 months with a closing balance of N563K; my closing balance for the first application was N513K).
3 MONTH PAYSLIP
LANDED PROPERTY IN MY NAME WITH THE C OF O;

I did not use a co-sponsor in my 2nd application. Since my name appears in my aunt's company documents (an educational institution) as one of the directors, I only stated the company as part of my asset in my SOP. But in the first application, I used my my aunt as a co-sponsor.

MY AUNT'S COMPANY REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS;

manny14:
For real? My school is in Ontario. How about yours? Which is longest?

Saskatchewan all the way

You are one lucky person. In many cases, CIC would have already denied the applicant (for "insufficient funds" ) once there are questions about the sufficiency or authenticity of the submitted financial documents.

In any case, you haven't provided enough information in order for us to know how to respond to your question. What were the concerns stated by CIC? What is the content of the mail (just summarize it for us)?
