About one month ago I was asked for the FBI background check because I was in the USA for a while, I submitted same day.Any further update brother. As we are in same boat
For my mother no foreign country background check was asked, and her medical shows as "passed". So I think the file is just waiting on Canadian intelligence background check which takes the longest time in the process.
But I'm not sure, so far they did not even confirm the Eligibility, does this come after the background check or before, I understood that Eligibility is confirmed when notice of decision and status and medical is passed.
We shall see, timeline shows completion in 10 months from today.
