BGIP: Just 2 hours ago! Feb, 27, 2018! i did not receive any updates but when i checked my cic account, it said your background in process.
From my experience and tracking all the other applicants, here is my conclusion:
CIC is trying to reduce the processing time to 15-16 months and i think they have been successful so far!
Upfront medical does not affect your application!
It`s not about your nationality, it`s about how fast they can process your application based on your name, travel history, residency in Canada, ETC...
CIC process based on AOR date not application date.
Guys! have faith that's all! we are getting there!
