I just checked my cic page and it changed to they are reviewing the eligibility. And the BGC has also changed to your application is in progress we will send you a message when we start your bgc. Does anybody know how long after to get SA?

And when you guys are saying you get DM on sponsor side, what does that mean exactly? How do I check that too?

Thank you!

I guess you may get SA very soon. In my case, it cost 1 day to get SA after the status changed to reviewing the eligibility.
I am still waiting for my AIP, already one week now after I got SA.

1) Does anyone know once they begin the background check...how long before we hear we have passed that?

App Received August 16
AOR Sept 13
Medical Done Nov 21
OWP Nov 20

Does your BGC say: "Your application is in progress" or does it say "We are processing your background check"?
If it's the first then they haven't really started yet...
Did you get your SA from Montreal Hub?
 
Yes, the Montreal hub. It says the first comment..which I know means they haven't actually started it yet. I just wondered how long we are looking at waiting for that part to take.
Thank you. I appreciate your time. :-)

Thank you. I appreciate your time. :)

I don't think anyone with an app in the Montreal Hub has progressed past SA approval. One person on here said it took them 2 weeks for it to change to "processing" but their app was processed in Van.
Hopefully soon!

Thank you, guys!
1)Any Winnipeg hubs out there have your background check done already? OR when did your change to "Background check has begun."

2)If they need more info from us, will they call? or email? I have received a couple of calls from numbers I don't recognize. They don't leave a number and when I return the call it says "Number is not in service". (maybe a spam call?)

Look at the bottom of your approval letter. It will say which hub. for example mine said, "Hub Montreal"

1) My status says " We are processing your background check". This status is almost from two weeks I believe.

2) I believe CIC will never call you. All communication will be over email or regular mail.
