Any idea what is the average time taken for background checks to be completed?

Received status update mail on 9 Dec and since then its been in BGC.

I sent an email to LVO and received the response below:

"Your application is undergoing background checks at this stage. Please be advised that there are various checks that a file may need to undergo during the application process. Unfortunately, we are unable to advise when these checks will be completed. However, please rest assured we will contact you if/when further information is required.

We appreciate your patience during this process."


Thanks

The next batch will probably take 22 Sept AOR as well including 9th November Transfer. However, the next batch will either be processed on 25th Jan or 22nd Feb (guesswork taking past trends).

Background Check take from few hours to few days unless it is selected for Security Screening. The problem nowadays is that despite your file is in a process it is not reviewed by the officer due to backlogs. As soon as your file is reviewed by the officer it should be finalised and approved.

The message they sent you doesn't necessarily state the accurate information.

I hope this will help.
