I doubt your My CIC Account shows the words, "Not applicable" but I could be wrong. However, it might show something like:
"Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." ???
If yes, then it simply means you are in queue and the person in charge to start the security check still hasn't started that.
Apparently, the file gets bounced between a case officer in Mississauga and a case officer in New Delhi until it's complete and in between other officers do the data entry so there is no one person that takes care of everything and so one has to wait until that person in charge picks up the file again which means disarray at all levels.
Except for one person from July medical requests, no one else got Background Check started yet. The problem is that they didn't acknowledge receiving any documents and everyone probably emailed the documents. It probably wasn't possible to upload to My CIC account too...
On average based on those Orange colors it seems to have taken 1.5 months for BC to start.
