Hi guys,

My file has been submitted in July 2017, before the due date they send me a letter of procedural fairness, to proof that my wife is intend to return back to Canada, I have send the additional information on 14th August, and on 16th August I received one letter of pre arrival services, I don't know if they approve my additional documents provided or not, but BC not started.
Does the pre arrival services letter mean something?
What should I do now?
Best regards

Pre arrival services letter means you may have completed Eligibility Assessment.....which is good news.....but will have to complete Background Check before final review to request passport.

Check your application "Status" through your online account linked to your application......what's the message for Review of Eligibility.....if its (2), then Eligibility Assessment may have been started and even completed, hence the Pre arrival services letter ......

1.) Review of eligibility: "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility."
2.) Review of eligibility: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements"

Check your application "Status" through your online account linked to your application........
.what's the message for Background Check........if its (1), background check has not been started......and if its (2), background check may have been started and just need to wait for completion...

1.) Background Check: “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.”.
2.) Background Check: “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“

thank you for your comment, my application status is : 2.) Review of eligibility: "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements"
but the back ground check is always : 1.) Background Check: “Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.”

You sent the additional information to address the procedural fairness on 14th August, and received letter of pre-arrival services on 16th August.....which is good news..... be patient as background check will start and be completed very soon before you may receive passport request.....you have reached the finish mark....patience

I received remedical request inNovember and next day pre arrival service letter and my background check started, now my medical passed, but still background is going on.
All other lines creating confusion they are as
---We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility or not
--You passed the medical exam
---We need additional documents to continue processing ur application
--You don't need an interview when this change we will inform you( we already gone through interview)
--You don't need bio metrics
--We are checking your background

Lines are confusing bcz i received pre arrival services, plz comment at what stage my application and still how much to wait

check your application status.........if the BC message is ....

2.) Background Check: “We are processing your background check. we will send you a message if we need more information.“

background check takes awhile.....and once completed, followed by review, passport request is next......patience

Background checks sometimes takes too long. 18 years back when my uncle applied as engineer, they took 16 months for background check.... Applicants are tense, they don't care...

i received the pre-apprival service email and the site shows "Decision made " status for my parents. i have not received any further information.
Anyone know what it means. i am unable to talk to them directly as message says"too much call volume". but automated system says background check in progress. is it still ok for website to say "Decision made". what are my options.

I’m also confused as it takes forever for eligibility to be assessed. My husband has been waiting for months and they are not asking for anything additional
