Haaaa! This wait is frustrating for us all.
@vensak, @G126
I noticed some applicants background check change to not needed, from not started in days. while others taking awhile any idea why?
@G126 any news on your background check? Changed to not needed yet?
I can only guess:
1. Type of application FSW / CEC / PNP - for PNP they might wait for some info from the province that nominated (that can cause delays)
2. LVO - each visa office - some offices are overcrowded with applications, so they need more time because they can update on the BG of the specific case (SGVO, NDVO, SPVO, Accra, Pretoria...)
3. If there is something suspicious that triggers longer checkup, that can also cause delays (army history, government jobs, certain countries, nationalities or areas, visa refusals in the past or visa overstays...)
4. Bad timing (that would be the moment when somebody is leaving the job while other is taking new position)
5. Other priorities in LVO or in Central office (Ontario Illness....)
