My request for a medical came through yesterday. I've read in this forum that at this point, getting the medical request, it's about half way through the application process and the background check is beginning. Is this generally accurate?

I went into my CIC account today and the Background Check says "Not applicable". Has anyone else seen this before?

You are all good. It should change after they receive and approve your medicals. My problem is that they have approved my medicals and it still says that my background checks is not applicable.
