From what I have read, it seems this is the case. Where is the PA from? Americans, Australians, NZ citizens have faster processing times, so this might be the case if you are from one of these countries. Did you order GCMS notes? Hopefully you will hear something via email soon.Our background Check status on MyCIC changed from "We are processing your application. We will contact you you when we start your background check" to "Not Applicable". What does this N/A mean? We are a March 2017 case. Someone on the forum said it turns to N/A just before PPR. I have my doubts. Anyone?
