Subject: Security (Background) Check
  Could some of you share his experience with me regarding the above issue? I´m currently under what is so called "Background check". I carry the Egyptian nationality and I´m currently living in Cairo, also I used to live in Saudi Arabia for some time.
So, my question is how long it takes to complete this check? I appreciate you replay to keep this thread alive.
Best of luck,

it could take from few monthe to years. i have friends who took them one year for the whole process, while me been waiting for three years now and everytime they say it is for the background check,
my advice, just wait and live like you did not apply to immigrate, otherwise you will be stressfull and you do not know for how looooooooooooooooooooong.

Mr. Unfortunate1,
Thank you very much for your replay, I appreciate it if you could share your time line, mine is as follows:

Nov 2001, Application
Dec 2001, Receive File Number
June 2002, Initial Assessment
April 2003, ELTS requested
June 2004, IELTS submitted
June 2004, Background check forms

Now, I´m waiting and I really don´t know for how long I should wait!, and even my lawyer doesn´t know either!, actually, my feeling is that background check is a big mystery!!

I wish some other people could share their timeline and their personal experience with the Background check; Thanks,

I have similar timeline as yours:

Buffalo:

Nov 2001, submitted application
Dec 2001, Received File Number
Jul 2004, Received updated form
Sep 2004, Submitted updated form

Not received IA yet, No medicals yet. I am been waiting for so long, seeing people applied two years later than me already got their landing paper. I´ve sent numerous inquires to Buffalo, and never got a response back from them.

Did they send you a form specifically for background check for you to fill out?

Please let me know.

Hi crnanj
Thank you for you contribution to this thread, and the form called "immigration Summary", I believe you already submitted before, but before the background check takes place they will ask you to update the forms.

Once again I argue more people to contribute with their timelines and their experience
with background check.

Please keep it alive.

Regards,

Unfortunately, I had to take the IETLS three time to get the required score, and as you are may be aware that you should retake it after three months form the pervious IELTS, beside that, it needs a lot of preparation and dedication in order to get the required score.

Could you please share your timeline?
Thanks,

Dear Warrior,
I don´t know what was written on IA letter, because all the correspondences are going thru my lawyer, and I appreciate it if we could keep the discussion on the board so that everyone could benefit from it.

Warrior,

One more thing I wanted to add to IELTS issue, actually my lawyer make a mistake!, in the beginning he didn´t tell me how much I should score in IELTS, so I took it the first time and Scored 6.5, and hen in March 2004 they came back to me and told me that I should score 7. Do you believe this lawyer???
I hope the above information would help you to avoid such mistakes.

Regards,

I wouldn´t applay and spend my money unless read all details once, twice and three times. I asked a lawyer and told me he wants 4000$!!!!! I answred him do u charge me 10 times what CIC charges me to immigrate!!!?? The immigration process on CIC website is a straight forward and really needs only a lawyer if u have a complicated postion like u have a criminal record or some thing like that. When I went to take IETLS, I met a woman in the test and she told me that the lawyer asked her for alot of things and money of course and unfortunately half of his information for her was WRONG YES WRONG e.g he asked her to do P.C.C before IELTS and P.C.C is only valid for 3 months, so she will do it again and so many worng things like that one I mentioned. All I can say best of luck for you and all our group member. I´m sorry if I said any bad words or hurt any ones feelings.

Warrior,
I didn´t understand what are you talking about here, and who has a criminal record??? It looks like you know nothing about immigration process!!, so for your information every one who is applying should undergo a background check especially people applying from the Middle East region.

Anyway, this thread is dedicated to discuss people´s experience with background check, so please let us stick to it and don´t change the subject, and I welcome any one who has such experience.
Regards,
