Hi folks! Does anyone know the difference between "Security" and "Criminality"? Based on a call with an IRCC agent, both are still "In Progress" for me. Do both "Security" and "Criminality" require biometrics?

Criminality and Security together make background verification. Security is usually done with border and international agencies and doesn't require biometrics.

There are two levels of validations with police certificates and RCMP. Biographic and Biometrics.
Biographic is with a search on your name, dob etc. Biometrics you know already.
Whichever countries Canada has tie-up with share biometrics information.
Both of these searches constitutes to Criminality validation.

Finally got the call! I'm the main applicant, but they called my husband.

The officer was extremely polite and helpful. She confirmed my husband's information and said the next person on her list had the same application number as him, so she asked if someone else in the household was waiting for a biometrics appointment and asked what was the person's name. She gave the option to schedule the appointment together or call me individually. We scheduled together of course – not a chance I would be waiting for another call lol

More details:
AOR: June 17
BIL: August 06
City: London, ON (SC location: 301 Oxford Street, Cherry Hill Mall - my postal code starts with N6A)
Time of the call: 6.40 pm
Appointment: October 22 (the timeframe is 15 minutes per person, so she scheduled 30 minutes in the morning for us).

Anyone from Calgary still waiting for SC call??
AOR: March 26
BIL: Jun 3
Postal Code: T3G
Still waiting.

This is so frustrating .

Still waiting in Calgary...Postal Code:T3K. Someone posted that when they catch up with the backlog, then they will allow applicants to book biometrics appointments online . That is likely going to be our case in Alberta and BC for most of us still waiting for the call.

Wow, it's awesome! looks like today they started with Etobicoke.
Same with me, a very polite and humble person.

I forgot to mention that she asked about Postal Code - first thing.

My AOR is not that bad, it's June 12, 2020
Postal Code - M9P Etobicoke.

I've checked the Excel sheet today (when I have updated it) and I felt bad for those who are still waiting from Spring .
I wish everyone good luck! hopefully, they will call everyone soon.
