Hey Guys Sharing my timeline so far .Cause I’ve been reading a lot of those here and they making me a little less anxious .

submitted application on 6 June 2023
Biometrics updated on 7 June 2023 (had already done them cause I’m currently already in Canada)
Background check started on 12 June 2023 and still on going till now .
Received BVL 7 July 2023 (yesterday)

been 24+ hrs since so i don’t know if I should still expect a decision in 1-3 days because of CAN+ or not .Also because I still haven’t reached the 6 weeks processing time I might receive something by the 6 week timeframe which is far( don’t know if y’all noticed but I’m super anxious ).

On your tracker, did you have any upgrade about your visa number?

propably is your first ou last name. I have 2 names and 3 last names and when I created my tracker ID I had to guess where to put the names. Try other combinations

Yeah i have 2 first names and 1 last name .I'm gonna try and play around with it a little more cause once i have access to the tracker i might be able to get something more out of it then on gckey.
