My timeline (FSW - Inland):

ITA: March 4, 2020
AOR: March 15, 2020
Medical Passed & Biometrics Request: April 30, 2020
ADR (Singapore PCC): April 30, 2020 (Submitted May 20, 2020)

The status of "Review of additional documents" changed to "Not applicable" on May 22, 2020.

I raised a webform last week to update my address and asked about my application status. This was the reply I received today

Your application is currently being processed at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.


  • Your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is in process.

Does this mean that my eligibility review is complete?

my Background check is updated,
Now it says "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."
Can you please tell me what the status means

A typical applicant will see the background check message change a few times as it goes through various stages. Background check includes criminality, security and information checks and the message changes during these stages. You can raise a web form, call IRCC or review the GCMS file for more insight. GCMS will provide the most insight.
