I believe you can order notes from iRCC and CBSA. I ordered mine from IRCC so far, but I’ve read that you can see the security screening part if you order from CBSA. But I’m not sure about this information.
Depends on the return label you purchased and sent along the package. If you bought an overnight you’ll receive it within a day unless its over the weekend.
I am in the same boat. Applied from inland tho. 29 dec AOR, medical passed Feb 11, still nothing. Called and got told Bg check processing, criminality/security not started. My work permit expires in 3 months, I will apply soon for a BOWP (and spend close to 1000 dollars in private insurance :/ ). This to avoid potentially losing in the 5 figures between plane tickets and job loss... Needless to say this is beyond frustrating, especially when you've been doing nothing but contributing here since landing...
I know the shi[[ing time depends on the type of label I have purchased. What I'm asking is when they ship back the passport oncce it is Approved? By return tracking is still waiting for the shipment.
Ah, my bad. Yes they approve it once passport is ready to be shipped or have been shipped. Might have to wait for a day or two for tracking info to become active

Hi Everyone!
AOR: Dec 18 .
MEP: 29 Jan
Eligibility: Met (As told by multiple agents) around second week of February
No update since then.
Citizen: India , Australian Resident , FSW O
Called IRCC day before yday, and the lovely agent said that nothing has changed since the eligibility has been met. The case is in progress though.
The agent said that since it is past 180 days, she will send an internal message to the immigration agent/officer. I received this response last night.
Please be informed that your application is currently in queue for review by an officer. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide you with a date on which your file will be reviewed.
Please be assured that you will be contacted immediately should further information be required or regarding the next steps in your file.
We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.
Can someone tell me what this could potentially mean?

I wrote a post on RR, reposting it here:
Understanding “Review Required”
A lot of applicants see “review required” in their GCMS notes for eligibility. There are many theories floating around with regard to what “review required” means and if it is alarming.
Before I venture into explaining the significance, it is important to understand that each application goes through the following stages as per the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the regulations (Canadian Immigration Law):
R10 – Completeness Check
Criminality
Medicals
A11.2 – eligibility
Security
Out of the above, the most important stage is eligibility. This is also the most time-consuming stage because your documents have to be verified, evaluated and assessed to ascertain that you meet the eligibility criteria for the program you have applied (FSW / CEC / FTW). To stream line this process and make it easier for an immigration officer (decision making authority), all applications are first evaluated by case analysts or program assistants. They review the documents and summarize it in the GCMS. If they have any concerns with any document or want the immigration officer to carefully look into a specific document, they will flag it as “review required.” It is the content of the note that is important here. If the review required is for a specific document, while the summary of the note says that an applicant has met the eligibility, or “ready to finalize” it simply means that while the applicant has met the eligibility criteria, but the specific document needs a careful examination form the officer before promoting (eligibility pass) by the officer.
However, if there are concerns, there will be a review required for the eligibility, and there will be no text to the effect “ready to finalize” or pass. The note will specifically state job duties do not match, or the employment cannot be verified, or the number of years of work experience claimed cannot be verified. This is where an application can land in muddy waters. But the final decision rests on the immigration officer. He may override the decision of the analyst / assistant or go with the analysis of the analyst / assistant.
Even in cases where the analyst / assistant is of the opinion that the applicant has met the eligibility, and there is no “review required,” the officer can replace it with his own opinion. Though rare, but it does happen. This is why the eligibility is only passed when an officer conclusively marks the eligibility as passed.
Finally, there is “review required” for PoF. This is the most common in many applications. This is because, the financial and banking practices of each country are different. Eg. Fixed deposits are know as Certificate of Deposit (CD) in the US. Similarly, treasury bonds, mutual funds, stocks, and many other investment vehicles are there. If your PoF anything other than a bank deposit, it is more likely that it will be marked as “review required.” Also, IRCC does not go by day to day fluctuations in FOREX. Instead, the Canadian federal government issued a quarterly conversion rate for all FOREX vis-a-via CAD. If your PoF is in a foreign currency, then you may have “review required” for the officer to make a determination.
Just because you have “review required” does not mean that you hit the panic mode. Instead, read the context in which it is there. If there is a concern regarding a document, you can send a replacement document via CSE. The most common reasons for RR are:
1. Work reference letter without job duties
2. Work reference letters missing all the details requested by IRCC
3. If you submitted a letter from a colleague because you were unable to get one from your employer, but did not have a LoE on file, this too will lead to RR.
4. Not sufficient work experience in the primary NOC.
5. Inability to verify your employment as your employer details are missing.
There are just some of the scenarios.
They are asking me to submit the document which I submitted saying I never submitted it. I am afraid they will reject my application because of a stupid technical error on their side. Anyone facing same issue?
