Hello everyone,
I mailed CIC and got to know that my case is at CIO-Sydney. I submitted my application on 19-Feb. The current status in my CIC login is as follows:
Application status We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you.
Review of eligibility We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results You passed the medical exam.
Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.
Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.
Can anyone help me what it means when they say the case is at CIO-Sydney when the background check is in progress. Shouldn't the case be at CPC/CVO at this stage?
I'm in the same situation. AOR 12-Feb. As per my conversation over a call with IRCC agent, They mentioned files are no longer transferred to CPC/CVO and the Ottawa office has been given access to the files at the centralised location based on the different stages of processing instead. If you have already seen some updates in your account, be positive and your file has been accessed by the VO. Agent has specifically mentioned that file location might show in the system as CIO-Sydney irrespective of stage the file is processed.
