RAIC's are issued by CATSA. The length of time varies depending on the country visited. The RCMP and CSIS are involved in the checks and they have to check with the countries authorities to make sure you're not wanted over there. It took me 7days to get mine but I held a Top Secret clearance at the time. I would estimate yours to take about 2-3 months. Questions may come up as to why you were there for 5 months.

IM APPLYING MY RAIC AT YVR.
THEY JUST SENT OUT MY APPLICATION FORMS TO TC. ON MARCH 19TH 2011.
BUT I WAS IN CHINA 5 MONTHS, CUZ MY WEDDING CEROMONY TOOK TOO LONG, AND I DON'T HACE CHOICE. ITS A BIGGEST THING OF MY LIFE.
OTHER THAN STAYED IN CHINA 5 MONTHS. I HAVE NO CRIMIAL RECORD IN CANADA OR CHINA. I'M A GOOD CITIZEN. LOL
MY QUESTION IS ARE THEY (TC) REALLY WILL MAIL ME TO ASK MY MARRIAGE CERTIFICATION AND NO CRIMINAL RECORD FROM ME?
AND HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE RECENTLY? ANYBODY DONE YOUR RAIC RECENTLY AND SIMILAR TO MY SITUATION???

i have visited some countries as well . like US , Cuba. China. but the application form only need you list the country you visited more than 3 months. which you dont need to tell them if you just been in countries only few days or weeks.

No, CATSA will do the investigation on their own with the RCMP and CSIS. They may contact you for more details if they need them.
