Hopefully they process your application faster but you can expect to see background check start at the end of November or early December.

because someone who got aor2 around oct says her bgc is already in process... and it is also from LVO... she didnt even get a pcc request or med request yet i think.. so idk what to believe in.. im just imagining things

That cannot be correct. She must be misreading the status as well, whereby it says the entire application is in progress and NOT the background check. And the background check will not be started prior to PCC or medical request, BGC is one of the last steps within the application process. If you take a look at the spreadsheets from January onwards, not one single applicant has had background check started that fast from AOR2.

If you can share her screenshot, we'll have a better idea.

By her post, it looks like she is in the same position as you are in. Ask here to copy and paste her status on her GCKey. I bet her background check has not started yet, just like yours has not yet.

I have a question tho, on my aor1 it says my bgc is N/A then after aor2 it changed to in progress what does that mean then?

 

[Parneetkamal]

For my case, my spouse got PCC request after schedule-A form submitted

How much it will take after that?

 

[lyoncab]

You're correct, background check has now started. Medical request (if not already done), decision made, PPR will occur after this, anywhere from 4-7 weeks.

It’s been 7 weeks for me, bgc on gckey sept 13. Should I be worried about this Oulrish?

DM for my husband today April 21 2017 applicant

Congratulations!!! So happy for both of you!!! Finally!!! Hopefully were next in line!

From receiving AOR2 on Sep 21st and background check in progress would have been a record breaker and unusual too. When the background checks starts (anywhere from 2-3 months after AOR2 date), you will receive an email letting you know.

Actually, a friend of mine through my VO in Bogota, Colombia, who got AOR2 on August 22nd, got everything done, including the COPR, within two months. Although it does look like it's unusual overall, it doesn't seem very unusual for this VO. I guess it depends on the case, more specifically if it's an easy one and if they work on it quickly.

If anyone can shed some light, I would appreciate it!
Our application was processed in Mississauga. On Oct 6th, it was transferred to NY. I was under the impression that we were a week or two away from receiving the DM notification. Now it's close to a month and there has been no change.
