Hi everyone, quick poll of numbers:
- who is still waiting for background screening to be completed after 12 months ( react to this post with an unhappy face)?
- who has had their background completed after 1+ year (react with like/thumbs up)?
i got AOR in OCT 2021.but my BGC got completed in Dec 2022 so i guess 14 months for me ...

Someone from August 19th 2021 with Fingerprint request in March and test in August 2022 got their background check completed today. So there is a light at end of tunnel. Hopefully September and October applicants stuck at BG will be seeing their approval soon. Stay blessed and enjoy holidays.

They worked on August applicants already the I guess September applicant will see some movement in Jan. Let's hope.

We’ve been seeing background cleared recently for June-Aug files with Sep-Oct 2021 AOR (15 months) and March-Apr 2022 security screening start (8 months). So for the avg Sep 2021 applicant with dec 2021 AOR and june-July 2022 security start, that’s 2-3 months more to wait. Add 6 months more for dm and oath, So pretty much on target for 24 month’s processing.

Congratulations. My AOR is December 10, maybe I'll hear some good new in the next 2 months. The waiting is so long.

Hi, Just received ATIP, where the last update on 10/5/22 was that 'Due to processing delays resulting from covid 19 criminality clearance was expired and reinitiated. Client will be requested to resubmit new finger prints for application to proceed.'

1 - ATIP says Security: __ (blank) and Criminality: In Progress. The due date for the Oct 5 update is Dec 19 but noone reached out to me yet. My first Fingerprints were received in March and BG cleared but the FP search date was in mid Feb 2022. It will expire next month.
2- BG re-opened to In Progress on Oct 5, 2022 but no contact from IRCC.

Is there a way to ask IRCC for the FP request email so I can provide the new set of FP for the file to move forward??

see signature for full timeline.
