Hi everyone, am wondering if anyone is awaiting the outcome of their criminal rehabilitation application? I sent mine into the London office in February so it's been 11 long months now, I recieved a case reference number after I emailed them in April and haven't heared anything since, does anyone know if the longer you wait the better your chance of a positive outcome? I mean if they were going to refuse my application would CHC have told me by now instead of waiting 12 months or more to refuse me? The offences I committed are almost 30 yrs old although one was 18 months for burglary when I was drunk not proud of it but its on my record the other was a fine for theft, as I said it was almost 30 yrs ago and I have done nothing since I went thro a stupid phase in my life and I'm hoping it's not going to ruin my chance of accepting my job offer I am a totally different person to who I was then and am embarrassed talking about it, thanks for any advice given.

According to the London CIC, the processing is around 6 months if the application is not linked to a visa request. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca...raitement.aspx
You might want to send a case specific enquiry as you have gone past the 6 months, or else if you have received an email from them in the past use that email to contact them again.

If you have a case number (Unique Identifier) then you may be able to check the progress on ECAS.
