Didn’t you have your background check complete? Most of the people from Vancouver VO got the background completed on Jan 31
I spoke with an Agent today. AOR - Nov 8th.
Criminality: Passed
Info Sharing: Still In Progress( This has been in progress for over 2 months now. Maybe because I have lived in 3 countries in over the past 10 years with multiple addresses)
Eligibility: Is now In Progress (Huge relief that there is some movement here)
Security: Not Started
PVO: Ottawa CPC
SVO: CIO
My IRCC tracker is not reflecting any of the above. My Eligibility and Background are still showing as not started. Is that common?

it’s so weird that criminality, which is part of the background check appears as not started. Nothing makes sense when is the IRCc hahah
I finally got through IRCC through call today but they couldn’t give me a lot of info..

I asked if they can see if it was assigned to an inactive agent and they said there is no one name that it’s assigned to and they see initials of who it was worked on by and considering it’s been updated recently it does seem to be active.
Regarding the processing time though they did say that my application is still within the average processing time of “16 months” lol

Mtfkers, they are trolling at this point. Do they consider 16 months as express entry? That's the same amount of time for non ee paper PNP applications
