That's almost 2 weeks after bio updated. Seems like bio update does not actually give a push to the application. The normal course is still maintained
Yeah and there is no point in calling again to IRCC since everything else is passed. It is a wait game!

It used to be the case when almost nobody could do biometrics, that submitting bio would "push" the application for approval. Now that many people have given their bios, and many more exempt, it's almost back to the normal wait.

Did you call to IRCC to learn that your background check had been passed? Or was it updated on your PR application on the IRCC website?

It's a bit unusual as security is usually passed after criminality, but it's a good sign. Security is the one that takes the longest. I'd expect criminality to be done soon. What police certificates did you have to submit? If it's overseas PCs they might take a little while longer.

Already provided them with PCC overseas certificate and RCMP fingerprint based criminal record check,
they said your criminality is linked with your biometrics, once we finish reviewing your biometrics then we will process your criminality.
