^here is a detailed explanation of background and security checks.

Thanks dear. Though this info is for PR applicants, it’s a good guideline for us.
My concern now is that my PCC will expire next week as it was issued in the last week of May and it’s validity is mentioned 6 months. When I submitted my case it was valid but if VO takes it up in the last stage of my background check it will expire by then

I think we will get good news in first week of December. It’s my intuition

SP processing time for Pakistan reduced to 3 weeks.

3 weeks processing means that applications are being refused in huge number within the first 3 weeks. This has brought down the average processing time. It doesn't mean that people are getting visa within that time.
