Hi folks,

Any idea what the following means re BG Check? Anyone else in the same boat?

Background check Not applicable.
Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Cheers,
We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you. = opened
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements. = in progress
You passed the medical exam. = passed
We do not need additional documents. = Not needed
You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes. = not needed
Not applicable = Not needed
Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made = Not started

Way not to confuse people. Wording might be nicer, but it is still the same status at the end.

Sounds correct. My BG was Not Started as at yesterday, now the new status is In Progress. I am interested in knowing what status persons whose BG was In Progress before the site maintenance currently is.

I have had BG In Progress since February 19. Now it says: "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

I assume that means BG is still in progress.

Even for me the status :

Background check : Not applicable.
Final decision : Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

What's with 'Not Applicable'? My last status was changed from NS>>NN

I hated the update, they make things even more confusing than before.
I guess they did it so people have to figure out new ways to decypher the process.

My BG status was "Not started" as of yesterday and with the new updates it is showing something the next step is to conduct a background check. I believe at the end both conveys the same message :) :)

I wrote an email to cpc Ottawa with my full name, e-Apr#, UCI# in the subject line this morning to know my case processing center. I have received an automated reply right away. The email asked me to include dob, category of application as well in the subject line along with other regular automated content. Should I wait for them to reply? Or should I write an email with all the necessary info in the subject line as requested?

Have you sent the email in the format which they mentioned automated response. I believe, that is an automated response for every mail that we send it to CPC Ottawa. Yesterday, I have sent an email and got the same response.

Thanks a lot for information.

Just want to be sure. Does most of applicants have now following text in the final decision:

Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

As I have deciphered that one for Final Decision to be Not Started (because this one rarely changes to IP, instead BG used to change to IP).
