Hello everyone... As I understand from reading posts in this forum, when one sends the family´s medical examination results and RPRF the CIC at this point also does the background checks for each adult in the family... my question is... is it at this point when the CIC official takes a ´first´ look at the police reports sent?
The reason I ask is because I do not understand what it is that they check at this point, they can read the police reports and find out if the person has a criminal record or not... could someone explain to me more details of what CIC does at this point... are they just checking that the police reports are legit? or what?
Please forgive me if I sound a bit lost...
Thank you for your replies

What are background checks?
A background check is a normal part of the processing of permanent resident visas. The procedure is intended to bar the entry into Canada of criminals and security threats.
Background checks are done for all persons aged 18 or over before they receive a permanent resident visa. Documents used in these checks include the following:
the application for permanent residence form;
security, intelligence and criminal conviction records; and
immigration records for persons who have violated immigration legislation.
Background checks may also be done before a visa is issued to a temporary resident applicant, if there is reason to believe that the person may be undesirable or prohibited by immigration law. For visitors from some countries, a waiting period is required for security checks before a temporary resident visa can be issued.
