U mean your marital status was filled as “common law couple” and not “married” in your application? And with that, u had provided “marriage certificate”?

In US where we are currently residing, we never got around to registering our marriage from home country so we are refereed to as "Common-Law" as we reside together, have joint finances and have a kid. So we filed as Common Law .... mistake was sharing our marriage certificate

I last called CIC on 31st July and was told that eligibility is met and BGC not started..
No update in account since then.. completed approx 45 days in IP1...
Do you think now is a good time to call again for an udpate? Or is it too soon and they will get irritated?

Thanks for clarifying. I asked that because we are also a couple who got married in India and living in US these years. We too provided our marriage certificate from India in Canada EE application, but I think we declared ourselves as "Married". I hope that should be OK.
On a side note, why do you need to register your home country marriage in USA?
Does your online account state that you've met the eligibility requirements ?
Just asking for my own personal reference
Thanks
I talked to the agent yesterday and I was told that BGC = Criminality + Security. So its confusing that both security and criminality is remaining for you, but your BGC is still partially completed. Also, agents don't speak IP1/IP2 language, its invented for convenience by members of forums like this. On a side note, I feel agents are too bored to answer our questions on statuses. They have a quick glance at our case, and reply on a very high-level. Meaning - agent's status cannot be taken word-to-word (I may be wrong).
That being said, I sincerely pray that you get your PPR soon, I know the pain of this clueless waiting
No update in online account regarding eligibility..
Got this info from agent on a call..
Hi all,
I need some advise, I have submitted my application for FSW-outland ( from the US) on June 12. I was asked for a renewed passport that I have submitted on July 20. I have passed my medical exam. I called CIC today and I was told that my eligibility requirement is "recommended pass" and that my background check wasn't started yet. My processing office is Ottawa.
My question is should I order GCMS notes or should I wait a little more.

For how many months was your passport valid from the day CIC asked for a renewed one ?
My AoR is 18th June and I've 7 months on my passport and I'm planning to renew it soon
Will changing my passport details have any impact on my application ?
Thanks
No, eligibility, security and criminal checks are done separately, and may be finished in any order. Background check is an umbrella term for security + criminal.
