The account status on the MyCIC portal is a different beast when compared with how the application is actually processed.Won't it reflect in the account status ?
The processing has the following components:
1. Completeness Check
2. Medicals
3. Biometrics
4. Eligibility
5. Criminality
6. Security
The Criminality is dependent on biometrics and the last three steps overlap with Security usually being the final step.
However, the portal status is really focussed on informing us if we need to act on the application like:
1. Biometrics
2. Medical
3. Interview
4. Additional Documents
Apart from this, there are the following, statuses that don't necessarily correspond with the actual steps:
1. Background Check - seems to update (or not) when eligibility, criminality and security are being affected by the agent/officer.
2. Eligibility - As far as I can tell, this remains in review till PPR.
3. Final decision - Self explanatory
This is why many people (including myself) are concerned about where exactly our file is at.
