Security not started yet

work permit about to end. should i go for PGWP extension for 18 month of work permit? or BOWP?
Can't speak for the other options but I applied for BOWP and it only took like a week to process and was super easy

Definitely PGWP extension, maybe for some unfortunate reason your application gets refused and BOWP wont be valid

Didn't receive any GUs but called IRCC today. Eligibility is Passed! a bit relieved now. with that excitement I forgot to ask specifically about the security step whether it is in progress or not started yet. lol
Called again today (didn't receive any GU after Apr 23), the security is still in progress.
I don't know how much more time it will take :(

When did your security move to in progress from not started? And how many days after passing eligibility did your security start?
Thanks..Trying to get an idea for my case.

Hi! I had called on Apr 23 when the agent informed that the eligibility is passed and later that day I received a GU (mostly for eligibility). At the time I forgot to ask whether the security started or not so I am not sure since when it is in progress. sorry about that.

Mine is Sep 17 and my eligibility is still under review! So don't worry - you are not alone !
They say- Patience is Virtue but It’s horrible that it’s taking this much time. Last update for me was Feb 16 when eligibility recommended passed. Nothing ever since
