Hi
There is the security check, done outside of CIC where your associations and activities are checked to see if you are associated to terroist or criminal groups. There is the background check with the employers (not in every case) to see if actually performed the work that you claimed, check of the educational credentials to see if they are genuine.

but, u didnt answer my query; why would they check if a person is involved in criminal activities, if the police certificates show "no information". if a person was involved in terrorist activities, then obviously, this record would show. isnt it?
any more expert opinions as to wat do they do and why?

HI
Since you didn't state that you were a spousal applicant, makes a difference. Not all terroists have a criminal record, they look at associations and groups of which you were a member and check with the local intelligence community to see if they have any information on you.

It has nothing to do with your credit history!
