Hi! What’s your AoR? Were you biometric exempt?

Hey No i was not Exempt from Biometric, Here is some information:

My AOR was on August 11 2020
My Medical were passed on 21 September
My Biometrics on 22 September

I also have a PNP from Ontario.

My progress bar is now on 41% and 16 Weeks.
 
Today I called IRCC and my progress as follows is:

Visa Office: Sydney

Eligibility: Not-Started
Security: Not-Started
Criminality: In Progress
AGENT : Said - Criminality check is in progress and will reach if RCMP is required.

I did upfront RCMP (Before submitting my application) and I uploaded thru Webform today.

Criminality check is in IP1 or IP2 ???
 
I did the same too.

My Visa Office is Sydney.

Eligibility: Passed.
Security: Not started.
Criminality: Passed.

What does Secutiry means ? and How much time does it need usually ? Anybody knows?

Security is the background check. Usually the longest and could be the shortest, depends on how fast they go.

Not sure when i would get the result of my application. Any ideas on where my application is ?

Eligibility will remain at “in review” until you get your visa. As for the background check, you’re currently in IP1. When it changes to “we are processing your application....”, that’s IP2, meaning you’re closer to getting PPR. Ignore the percentage bar, it only shows the time that’s elapsed since IRCC received your application, it doesn’t affect the progress of your application.

Looks like your application is in early stages which is normal, you should see your Background check change to "Your application is in progress" and it indicates that you are in IP1 as per current trend (again this is not official). How long no one knows

guys,

I'm 21 and I have been in Canada since I was 16 therefore I dont need to provide police certificate from my origin country. Do you guys think it will be quicker when it comes to background check?.

No one can really give you a certain “yes/no” answer.
 
When I make a my EE profile I write down contact details(email&phone) I’m not sure how I can check submitted contacts. Maybe you can call IRCC(1-888-242-2100) and ask it.


Contacted them today and verified that all is up to date. Waiting for the agent to give me a call. Anyone here got Biometric request in ON Canada and agent have contacted them. Those received Biometric request on 22nd October 2020. Thanks.
 
When your background check message turns to "processing the background check", security will start.


Mine changed to -
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
What should I be expecting next

Usually, PPR. If it changed from “your application is in progress....” to “we are processing your background check....”

Weird because this what my application status says.
Biometrics
  • We need your fingerprints to process your application. Check your messages below for details.
Background check
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Background changed after the ghost update on 23rd October - Biometric request was on 22nd October 2020
