How u got to know about your eligibility recommended pass through phone call or mail to ralph??
Because after I crossed 6 months on 28th June I called IRCC ND they told me nothing has started and she sent a reminder to them.I got a reply from them on 11th July as :
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.

I mailed Ralph yesterday and got a reply :
Eligibility is in progress – recommend pass.

Criminality and security checks have not been initiated. They cannot be expedited and timelines are not available.

Does this mean that they have finally picked up my file ??
And now it depends upon the officer how much is he going to take??

That's crazy, I just got that this week!! Long after I was friendzoned...

Thanks

Phone call. I also called after 6 months and nothing had started. Then was calling every 2 weeks. I guess same happened with your file if you were told recommended pass they picked it. Was told by agent security will take a while though. No one can tell how much because it's done by external intelligence not IRCC. From experiences shared here I see it goes anywhere between 3 days to months.

GCMS notes do not accurately show your application status.Even though GCMS notes say 'not started', officers are constantly working on your file but get delayed due to number applications to be reviewed by officer.
Criminality and security checks have not been initiated-When they say this, it definitely does not mean they are not working on your criminality and security. Criminality is generally determined first by program assistant and it is left with status 'not started' until Security checks are completed.
Currently in queue for review by an officer- They don't say this if it isn't under review. This time when officer checks your file and your security checks are completed, he will mark everything pass and approve it since your eligibility is 'recommended passed' already. God forbid, if he finds your security check incomplete or he determines your case need additional documents, it will go into loop.

I hope this answers your question.All the best.

If you want a very detailed explanation of background checks I refer to you the excellent post of legalfalcon: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/the-anatomy-of-a-background-check-in-depth-analysis.500146/
Again there not a single way all this is happening and all remains an enigma.. I personally passed criminality at the same time as medicals while for some applicants it remains a bit behind.

Someone had the same problem I think about a week ago and was successfully guided on how to do it. All I remember is that after uploading there is some "next" button that you should press and then it will be fine. Maybe try looking some pages ahead unless someone else comes to the rescue here.
