Called IRCC today, talked to an agent who is as nice and kind as a saint.
VO: Ottawa
Eligibility: Recommended Pass
Criminality is in progress (which is what we're working on right now. Don't worry, nothing is wrong about you, we just have too many files to work on...)
Security has not started yet (but it could be it has not been updated yet)
"Your profile is very positive. Someone is working on your files. Don't worry, no news is good news, you just need some patience". He's really a saint. He calmed me down and motivated me. Wish all the agents were like him.

Sounds like there will be a batch Pass of August Criminality stages once they eventually get round to them. Good to know.

Does security clearance take a lot of time? I know it varies from case to case but do we have any indicator on the average time it took in the past for security clearance??

The "service standard" for the Security stage of 80% of PR applications is 110 calendar days.
That said, the above is an average. Often, it doesn't end up taking nearly that long, unless the applicant is in Enhanced Security Screening.
