You're almost there! Since you're in SS. Few weeks left on your file to have it completed. I assure you within few weeks you will hear good news. SS take 1 up to 8 months to be completed. You're almost there my dear.
I was hoping so, but I just got an email from London saying it didn't start until end if November which means the sent end of November, cbsa probably didn't start on processing it until December. I'm expecting and hoping for an August completion

What is PFL?
I dont even get an email.
My file is silent till july 2018.
File application was 20th april 2018.
PFL is procedural fairness letter. It's a letter from saying they are considering to refuse your application but giving you a chance to supply more information abd change their minds. If you haven't heard anything, abd your bgc is in progress then you are probably in ss. Security screening.

Yes ss is bgc. A regular bgc takes around 1 month or 2. But some applicants (mainly from middle east get put into ss for a deep bgc. Which takes upto 12 months.
12 months????? is it included the day that they received the apps?? or 12months only for BGC??????

Can you send me your timeline?? London loooves sending their applicants to ss. Either because were from the middle east or because they are overloaded with work and pass us over to ss so they can catch up on other files :( if your bgc has been in process for over 2 or 3 months, your probably in ss.

You applied in April and until now they haven't started your bgc? Is this ecas that you are reading? Do you have gckey? Maybe they have but just hadn't updated your ecas. These are my suggestions.. 1st get gckey if you dint have it already ill send you the link. 2nd email London (they don't have a phone number) and ask them if you could please have an application update. London takes a while to reply. Sometimes 2 or 3 weeks
