I am AOR 25, and I have everything completed except Security, which is in progress. And I have PVO Sydney and SVO Ottawa. I don't think they are just slow, security is a 1 hour thing compared to what they have already completed, I wonder why it's taking so long for this final step. Security has been in progress since Feb 28.
Not sure what you mean by 'security is a 1 hour thing' but officially it can take up to 110 days since Eligibility passed.

Does anybody know what they look at when they are checking security?

I see too many people getting stuck at Security/Background Check. What is happening, seriously? I thought IRCC reduced processing times from 16 mos to 12 mos? Feels like the processing times are getting worse compared to the previous months.

I think the main reason is their batch processing policy, which is the worst thing.
I have everything completed in tracker since March 3 but there is nothing.
Called ircc on March 13th and got the same old reply, everything is complete and your file is in final stages.
Today i saw an update in tracker, showing march 13 - we have received your enquiry.
Don’t know if its cz I called ircc or something else.

Isn't it kinda too long for batch processing? Like most October and November AORs from Sydney/Ottawa VOs are stuck with Security.
 
Guys, I just caught a ghost update in my GC portal. Nothing changed though. This is my 2nd GU after 30th of Jan GU. Hope for PVO Ottawa and SVO Sydney gang!! *fingers crossed*

Edit: just realized my background check went back to "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." It previously said it was in progress
