just genuinely curious, how long does it usually take for criminality and security to get passed after your biometrics were completed?

For me it has been a month since my biometrics were completed and my background check is still in progress

Chaos at their end to say.
A lot of applicants are stuck either on criminality,security etc.
One of thread in this forum say Criminality only starts after eligibilty is passed.
So I think you are good now just wait so that IRCC figure out how to deal with this huge backlog of applications.
Good luck.

Just called IRCC. The agent said my security is passed and criminality is in process. Does anyone know how long they would process criminality?
