In my case they started background check after Medical request , i got my medical request on OCT 12 , background check started on OCT 12 and i got PAL on OCT 13
anyway i feel its not fair, to process express entry PR in 6 months and paper based in 18 months, when we pay the same processing fee.
Anyway wait wait wait
