Hi, I was able to connect to CIC customer care and they said my application is in CIO office and the "eligibility status" is still being reviewed. My current status says that "we are processing your background check". What does this mean? Can somebody brief me and what is supposed to happen next..

My AOR is 15th Sep

Hey,

e-APR: Sept 4th
Medical Passed: Sept 28th
IP2: Oct 29th
Indian residing in the US.

As it had been around 2 months since the last background check change, I called IRCC. Turns out that my application is approved, however, I haven't received any email yet. The agent said that they have time till March 4th to send the email and couldn't tell me how soon I could expect the email.

Anyone else in a similar situation?
Same. September 9 AOR, approved on December 19th. US resident, file was at CIO Sydney. Seems they have released CEC batch today. Hopefully we will get something by mid January. But I have seen people wait for over 2 months with approved files especially when processed at or transferred to Sydney after approval. So I am going to wait until March, after that also the most you can do is raise a CSE. Some people had to wait more than 6 months despite the application being approved. So who knows? But let's stay positive and hope it comes soon. Cheers.

Whoever knows the answer to your question please can you please tell me if the PR EMAIL comes only to the principal aplicant or principal aplicant+dependants?
The email regarding the progression bar came to both of us,me(principal aplicant) and my husband(dependant)
I got the email in my registered email only, being the principal applicant. My CIC status has not changed; even now that I have sent my passport for stamping.

Wow, that's a long wait. Being in a state of limbo is unpleasant.

How did you manage to contact an actual agent. Every time I call, its just a automated voice telling me the status of my application as it shows on the website. When I try and transfer to an live agent, they say that there's a high volume and cannot transfer me to an agent. :(

Hi everyone, I am US resident and called severally but couldn't get through to an agent. I then raised CSE and got to know my application is in Etobicoke, ontario. Eligibility in process.
Any info about this visa office?

Yes, I thought it was a ghost update but when I checked again, my ADR had changed from NA to reviewing and someone from July had found that their application was approved when they had such update. So I called CIC and the agent confirmed that it is Approved. If you have same timeline then probably yours was approved too. You can call and ask if you wish to. Seems like there are many people from September with approved files now. September is the only month with not a single US resident getting a PPR yet, most have crossed 100 day mark. In previous months a lot of them got it in under 60 days. I know many got it around 4-5 months after AOR. But in general September AOR applications are moving very slowly, including CEC and inland applications. But unless you are in a rush to relocate, it's kinda okay to wait patiently once you know file is approved.
