Hi guys,
I did the medical Nov 2004 and still waiting since then. Any idea why it is taking so long. I have not lived in any other countries except Canada and my original country. Is it possible that they are doing a BG check on me?
Regards

There are 2 check done by CIC - Background and Security.
The background check is done (not in every case) to see if the applicant actually performed the work that s/he claimed and a check of the educational credentials - to see if they are genuine.
Security check is conducted completely outside of Immigration by Canadian security and intelligence agencies, with or without cooperation of proper authorities in countries where check is being conducted. It is looking deep into your life, background, activities, associations etc. to find out if you are or ever were involved or are or have been associated with someone who is or was involved in espionage, terrorism, radical movements, crimes against humanity, organized crime, etc.
Security check has absolutely nothing to do with FBI fingerprints - those are only needed for criminal check.
Unfortunately authorities in some countries take months or longer than a year to reply to inquiries from Canadian authorities and in some countries check has to be done using old fashion spy methods. It all takes time and depending from your background, nationality, countries you lived in, people you associated with (knowingly or not), your activities etc. it may take anywhere from several months to well over a year to conclude.

I don`t think that they do background check on the performed work that he/she claimed , In case they will : only check on the current employment and not the previous history jobs. The security check is stated above by Kenny.
Good Luck

Thanks for the reply...
Any idea how long it takes to get the CAIPS notes back. I have ordered them via the link that CIC provided in their website.

Usually it takes about 4 to 6 weeks to get the caips notes.
