Hi there, my application portal has all sections marked as complete (Prime Applicant) however my spouse eligibility still not started and rest all completed. What does it mean and I have two kids, eligibility not started for both of them while background verification is in progress. I am an Outland applicant.

Looking at cases from various PNPs in different AOR threads, you're looking at around the 6-7 Month mark for approvals (on average). Could be less, could be more. You're only 2.5 months into the process.

That’s correct. 6-7 months is what I notice too.I have come across quite a few who got RFV mails in 8-10 weeks time as well but let’s see. I’m in no such rush other than my employer waiting for me to join.

That’s correct. 5-7 months is what I notice too.I have come across quite a few who got RFV mails in 8-10 weeks time as well. I’m in no rush other than my employer waiting for me to join.
I spoke to an IRCC agent yesterday who confirmed that the ‘Criminality’ part of my BC is complete and as of now ‘Security’ is ‘In Progress’. What I know is that the last leg can take forever, so not trying to lose sleep over it.

If I am not wrong you are an Outland applicant, how did you manage to talk with IRCC agent? How did you call ? what details do agent require ?
I blv, talking to an agent being an Outland don't impact on our file in any way, neither negative no positive, isn't it ?

Further, can someone pls guide me if I can call IRCC agent directly ?
I am using a consultant who has my Gckey login details etc.. but I do have UCI and other details with me.

You can call through Textnow app and they do ask all the details like UCI, Application number and personal details about primary applicant. Need to wait
for at least 30 mins to talk to an agent but would feel satisfied. Don't think there would be any positive/negative impact as they can only check the profile and let you know the status, visa office etc.

I called via Viber/2nd line. It got connected easily, it’s not a free app though. The lady on the other side did point out that I was calling from another number than the one registered. I told her that’s my number too from the home country. But over she was quite friendly.

I also worried the same if it may have any negative impact but on all forums I was assured that it doesn’t matter. Yet it has come as an update “we received your inquiry on -/-/- on my profile so obviously I won’t be calling again and again.

You will have to do your own job search and find Alberta employer with correct NAICS code. As for improving score, do you have a degree, can you max out IELTS, and/or learn French.

Hi, honestly speaking there is only one way that you can improve your score, that is if you might get nomination and then ITA for sure.
For Alberta Tech pathway, you must have a valid job offer. You can search Alberta employers to get a job offers.
