Yes you should be able to do that with no worry. That's what I would do.

Ash, it often takes 30-45 days for medical to pass. Since you applied inside Canada, as soon as medical gets passed, your background check will start instantly instead of waiting for more than a month like some of us! That's what we are really jealous of :-\

Ah, really? I had no idea there was a delay for people outside of Canada for the background. I would have expected to to faster since they don't need to do an internal one. Hopefully, things will move for everyone soon!

Yup. I'm pure FSW (no LMIA or PNP and never been on Canadian soil) and my BG check is till "Not needed at this time" and the same applies for another friend of mine whose medical has been passed and Application Received in ECAS.

I am currently working in Canada and applied under FSW. My medicals were passed within few days and ever since, my background check is in progress.

What's the difference between not needed at this time and not started?

 

[YamPower]

What's the difference between not needed at this time and not started?

According to CIC:

We need to verify criminal, security and/or other background information to ensure admissibility to Canada.
Review of background information may be Not started, Not needed at this time, In progress or Complete

Not needed at this time means we have not yet received an application for permanent residence. You need an invitation to apply before you can submit an application for permanent residence.

Not started means that we have not begun the review of background information.

In progress means that we have begun the review of background information.

If we require a document from you to complete this review, please upload it in your document checklist so we can continue to process your application.

Complete means that we have completed the review of background information.
