Hi, its very normal. Happened to a lot of people in this forum, including me. There is another thread on this...you can find it in this section. Sorry can't send you the link to that thread as I'm replying to this from my phone. But that thread is also maintaining an excel file and tracking those whose background check went to 'not needed' from 'in progress'

My background check status was always "Not needed at this time". I never saw "Not Started".
Any one with similar experience?

Hello,
My profile showed ineligible, but i have another work experience i want to use when creating a new profile. Do you know if that is fine by changing the work experience on the first profile which is not ineligible?

Also, what really make profiles Ineligible despite i scored more than 67 points when i evaluated it?

The usual progression of BG status is:
1. Not Needed at this time - As soon as you submit you eAPR.
2. Not Started - Around the time your medical is passed.
3. In Progress - For inland immediately around medical passed date. For outland, after 2-5 months. Probably RFV and very very close to PPR.
4. Completed - After COPR is received.

So you are still at the first step. Now, for some of us after stage 2 or 3, From Not Started or In progress, BG went back to Not needed at this time. This is the issue that we are following in the thread that Naomi mentioned. As of now, yours is progressing normally. Nothing to worry.

Btw, the thread link is http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/my-background-check-wentt-from-in-progress-to-not-needed-at-this-time-t385125.300.html.
