Hi people,
I've received a portal email today.
AOR: Sept 6 2021
VO: Edmonton(last time when I checked it was Edmonton, but somehow I've got the email from Vancouver.)
Inland single applicant.
When I received a G-note 3 days ago, security and criminality were not started but eligibility passed. My application was that same status since my biometrics passed in November. No Ghost update. On the cic website, background check has been "your application is in progress" until I got the portal email.
hope this helps.
