How did you all call the ircc? I tried calling them multiple times, different times a day but every time I get the same message that they can't connect me to an agent and I have to try again later. I think I tried over 20 times the last 2 weeks.

My current visa is expiring on July 31st and I have no idea what to do, yesterday I saw a change in my background check it changed from: We are processing.. to Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Does anyone know what this means? Or how far I am in the whole process?

Called IRCC today, Criminality is Started, Eligibility is Started, Background check is "not finalized", which means in progress. VO will be Ottawa, current VO is just virtual. Not too impressive I would say.

Last when I called IRCC on 1st June, they mentioned Criminality - Passed, Eligibility - Not Started. Today got a GU and Background check says

  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.

Do you think Eligiblity Passed or BG started before Eligiblity

Hello Everyone,

I called CIC today and the agent told me that security is in process. What does that mean ? What is the next step ?
