No decision made yet for me either, almost 2 months now doing background check. I'm wondering if my UK Military and Government service is affecting the speed of the background check, still hoping for 1 year completion date.

Thanks for the reply armoured, i figured 5Eyes might be quicker as I'm from the UK and currently working with NATO :D but 2 weeks on no sign of life, covid might be skewing it for sure, hoping to see some movement soon.

Anyone know how long background checks normally take? I see some people’s take same day while others are longer? Prearrival received, waiting for decision made.

Phoned IRCC and asked

Potentially Beijing then like ours.

not sure my friend, some people have been waiting since beginning of March, some people get it same day. What VOis your application at? We’re both British so background checks should be fairly similar in terms of time. I’ll keep you updated if mine comes through

Not yet.

Reckon its wrong to think that everything could be complete for June?

You guys got DM so quick, im still on In Process :D

Can we get exemptions if heavily pregnant? I'd rather not have my wife stay there when we have our own place ready to go when we land.

Received pre arrival today. No aor2 or decision made yet. Don’t know what that means in terms of the order.

Hello all, I got pre arrival services today, but no decision made yet or aor2. Any idea why?

Some good news from Beijing, my ecas changed from application received to inprocess yesterday :)

Gckey

Lets keep this thread updated with peoples timelines who know they have been sent to Beijing, theres not a lot of information out there for Beijing as a VO

My file has been moved to Beijing after speaking with IRCC. Hopefully it moves to In process soon. Not sure when it was sent though

I confirmed today that the application was sent to Beijing VO, not sure when it was sent, the only thing i know is that ECAS states "Application Received" so hoping to hear soon that it is in process.

What number and options did you use?

i believe so, but only if you’ve had application received beforeand then changed to in process before changing to application received a second time

I *think* that it can go to a VO yes.
