Ok
On My friend application they started Background check.. on his account it is saying background check is in process and eligibility not started yet.
My Question:
1 Is this is because he is outside Canada and that's why they want to check his background?
2 How long it will take IRCC to process background .. is this the same as for PR applicants?
3 can we assume that the eligibility most likely passed that's why they started background check?
4 background check means file is currently open? and someone is checking and will give decision anytime?
a-1 -> no it could be another reason, many of applicants are from india no one has background check, so there is another reason possible based on what he entered as information at the time of application or previous applications
a-2 -> it is known for everyone that no one can predict IRCC's time for anything, don't know for PR
a-3 -> no background check is different than eligibility
a-4 -> if background check is success then you file will be processed further
