Subject: Medical+Fingerprint request by CIC = Visa Waiver ?
First a big thank you to Me and mmm_doughnuts for your quick and detailed replies to my earlier post.You guys are awesome and so is this forum.

Question : Do I understand correctly that If CIC asks for Medical and Fingerprinting then this means that Interview has been waived!

Asking for the medicals is an indication for an interview waiver. In the interview waiver letter that I recieved from CHC New Delhi there was a clause that an interview could be held despite the waiver if the need arises. Although, this is a highly unlikely scenario. ( I hope so :) )

Along with the interview waiver letter I recieved official medical forms (with attached photo) that I was to take to my DMP (Designated Medical Practioner).I applied from CHC New Delhi and Iam guessing the same applies to most visa posts.

Akshay,

Your interview has been waived as of now. After the IA the background and security check starts. If during these checks they find some discrepencies in the information you have provided they you may be called for an interview.

- Background - verification of background/personal info and education/experience credentials. Includes contacting employers in many cases.

- Security - is conducted by Canadian intelligence and security agencies, with or without cooperation of proper authorities in all countries you resided in since age 18 (for some national since age 16).

It looks deep (very deep) into your background, life, activities and associations to see if you are or ever were involved and/or are or were associated in any way with someone who is or was involved in terrorism, espionage, organized crime, crimes against humanity, radical groups, etc.

This check usually starts after successful interview or interview waiver. 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. Therefore depending on your background, nationality, countries you resided in and other factors it may take anywhere from a few months to well over a year to complete.
