Hi, I would like to ask someone who is/was undergoing background verification how long it took for them. My situation is that my eligibility was completed, and the background verification started later. It has been in progress for around 1 month now. And my entire application process has been ongoing for about 3 months. I would really appreciate your help!

Canadian visa process is frustrating. I should have tried for any other country.
My application has been in queue for more than 6 weeks.

Six weeks is still within IRCC's promised processing time, while mine has reached 12 weeks. I have already paid a significant amount of deposit, and switching to another country would be costly for me.Canadian visa process is frustrating. I should have tried for any other country.

Have you tried sending a webform or consider calling IRCCSix weeks is still within IRCC's promised processing time, while mine has reached 12 weeks. I have already paid a significant amount of deposit, and switching to another country would be costly for me.
I did both. The agent said my profile is perfectly good and the only thing I can do is waiting. And I sent webforms to IRCC office but the only response I got is yes, we received you request....Have you tried sending a webform or consider calling IRCC

I was going to ask you if you were from China. There are articles in the Canadian news about potential Chinese students being in background checks for over a year.CHINA!

I've already read it, and it's not exactly true. I've heard of people who have been suffering for almost 2 years or even more, not only for their study permit but also for their travel visa.I was going to ask you if you were from China.

You asked about study permit so you can expect your background check to be a long time. Hopefully, you will get a response sooner rather than later.I've already read it, and it's not exactly true.

A long time means one year or more and what if my offer expires during background check?You asked about study permit so you can expect your background check to be a long time. Hopefully, you will get a response sooner rather than later.
You need to talk with your school about alternatives/deferrals/online etc.A long time means one year or more and what if my offer expires during background check?
