Yes, correct. Did you get the 3rd line saying: We started processing ***'s application on December 18, 2018?
Wow, thank you, I didn't pay attention for that, just saw it, my was processing my application on Dec 19, 2018.
When did you started the background check? my online account hasn't started yet.
BTW, next step is AIP.
AOR - Acknowledgment of Receipt
PCC - Police Check Certificate

I think it's same day, Dec 18. If you have the " We started processing " line on ECAS so I think your background check is already started, just not updated yet, no worry. You'll be ok, I feel that since I see your post in this topic.
Mine is the same they are processing but my background is not applicable. I called them and they checked and told me everything was right and I shouldn’t worry about. I am very excited with the news
Too bad they are probably not working on the holidays so news must only come after new years
Nope, they told me I shouldn’t worry about it and that the application was going right. I have no idea, maybe they are checking or have checked already, so I decided not to worry about it
Yes, it is the second part of the process (security and criminality checks) where they correspond with the country the PA lived most of their life (or more than 6 months each time). And also, everyone gives a police clearance at the beginning of the application except certain countries that receive a request from IRCC.
Once Background Check (BGC) is done, and all things cleared, the PA will receive eligibility as a resident. If all goes well, it takes 4 months after medical as 80% of applications get finished by the 10-11th month.
