Background Check : we are processing
Final: your application is in progress

Good to see people getting confirmation emails. I was thinking of calling IRCC to inquire more VO and all, should I or just wait for some more ?

It definitely doesn't hurt to call them up. They'll be able to give you more details on what part of the application has been started/completed as well. Definitely more information than what the GCKey and Tracker tells you. With my application 2/3 of the Background Check components have been completed while the Information Sharing component is in progress. But online it says "Not started" on the tracker, and "We are processing your background check" on GCKey.

So what is a tracker? Is it something different from GCKEY?

Shows more updates than GCKey - but it doesn't look like it's getting updated daily though. I can't attach a screenshot for some reason, but this is what it shows on my tracker at the moment.

Your bg verification is not complted in this tracker?
 
Yo

Your bg verification is not complted in this tracker?

Not yet. IRCC Agent on the phone told me that Security was completed, but I've had no updated on Background Check on GCKey or this tracker. This tracker still says it's not started.
 
when it says :
"We received your enquiry. "
Is it when you called them to enquire about status update ?
Yes most of them were when I called to ask about something. One of them was when I sent through and updated list of my travel history / address information because I found exact dates of a few items that I best guessed in the original submission.

Hey guys I was finally able to create an account for that tracking website...looks like my password was too short - lol

It says my eligibility is complete but my background verification is not. Does this mean, I'm good or not necessarily in terms of my eligibility?

That's alot of enquiries

What's the delay with BG checks? My app too is being held up by this

Haha - Four of them were Webforms (Address update (which they asked me to resubmit), additional travel history details, an email address update). They mark down every webform / phone call you make, and 1 was a phone call asking what the Ghost Update was about.

Yeah i'm not sure, according to the call center, Criminality and Security are completed and Info Sharing is in progress - Some people don't get GU or anything and just get the golden email.
