Hello everyone.
AOR - 20th Aug 2018
FSW (Nigeria)
1 day left
Just some update that i think might be relevant. I finally got through to an agent yesterday (9 minutes on the queue
) and asked couple of questions.
Eligibility = Passed
After i submitted my second ADR: Background check went from
'We are processing your background check' to '
we will notify you when we start your background check'. I asked the agent why the status reverted. She said because i submitted biometrics, there was a separate background check for that apparently. It reverted after it was completed. Quite confusing. She also said because there were multiple ADRs, my processing timeline will increase.
She said my background check has not started. I asked how long it would take to commence and finalise background check, she said she's not sure but could take from now till summer (she mentioned June)
I asked which visa office is processing my application. She said Ottawa. I thanked her and ended the call.
5 hours later, i decided to log into my account. Status was showing there was an update. I saw that my background check has commenced. See status below.

Bottomline: Calling them kickstarted something so I am hopeful.
