I have just managed to get through to an agent to get an update on my application.

CIC Inland
AOR 22nd Oct
IP2 - last week or before

They told me:

Visa office is Ottawa
Criminality in progress (started 21st Nov)
Security not yet started

He said as I have requested the GCMS notes it can delay any updates to my file, as they have to stop progress until the notes have been prepared and sent. I did ask if my file has approval in principle, but he said that isn't stated on my account. So I am concerned there is something wrong as it seems a lot of people who posted here said they have approval in principle or eligibility recommended. Is this bad??

well he was trying to instruct me that the online information on my profile is the most updated one so I told him that's not true because my GCSM notes give me more details meaning the online system is just a dummy system. So, he then dragged the topic in a wrong direction and behaved as if he was some police officer asking me agree on what he's saying.....
Lol oh wow

First time here, I’m having issues concerning what to do next. Applied for PR with spousal dependent in October, discovered his brother entered the country as a refugee via US. A month later he and his family’s visas got revoked because his sister stayed in the US for 6 months. I honestly dunno what else to do. Sad part is I recently just found out about all these. ITA was oct.

Spoke to cic today
Oct 19 aor
Everything is compelte except security which has not started at all yet anyone else with the same timeline?
Same boat as you! However, I spoke to an agent yesterday, they said that my background is currently under process. She also told me that my VO is Edmonton which is interesting because the GCMS notes that I received in the first week of March said that my Primary VO is Ottawa and Secondary is Vegerville.

Hi guys,

Do you thinking raising your voice on the call with customer service can impact my application? I called in today to get an update on my application, but the call agent was rude to me. I just said the online system is not up to date because I can see different and latest information on my GCMS notes. On that he started being rude to me and I couldn't control my anger as well.

As a normal procedure of their call center, he was putting down notes from our conversation. So I'm not sure if that's gonna hurt my application.

Any opinions?
Hey, I don’t think so.
I just got off the phone with CIC and I asked them if they could make a note to say why I had called as I’m having difficulty submission documents and am anxious of the deadline passing. The advisor told me they can make a note to say that I called, but cannot say why or include any other information.

Hey guys,
I received a ghost update today. No emails, just my application status showed "Application Updated", but there was no change in the system, still showed "in-progress". Any idea what this might mean?

It means officer is looking into your profile. I had a ghost update 2 weeks back. I believe my background check was completed. But still no changes in my profile.
Hope for the best.

Thanks! Had they requested a Canadian criminal clearance certificate from you? I only provided my country of origin's Criminal certificate and was told that CIC will contact me during the processing to request that.
Currently, my background check is still being shown as in progress
