Our background check was started a couple of weeks ago. We're waiting on the passport request. I am hoping it will come soon.

I think you misunderstood. Skyzee's entire process from start to end was impressively fast. Their wait from 'Background check in progress' was unusually long (about 6 weeks from late Feb to early April). That often takes same day or less than a week.
I thought the average process time for BGC was 2-4 weeks. Of course, some have gone quicker, some slower, but most people I've seen have gone about that long. I just got my DM today, which makes my wait 3 weeks.

Thanks! Our application was actually flagged as well when I ordered GCMS notes since my wife had once been denied entrance into Canada awhile ago... lucky for us they didn't take too much extra time to investigate it. Hope everyone else's applications wrap up quickly as well, it's been such a nightmare of a wait stuck in limbo.

Finally, a change on our application! Our BGC has now changed back to "processing" after being "Not Applicable" since Feb 22, when they requested a replacement document for one that we had made a mistake on. It seems they took the full 30 days they gave us to send it in, plus another 2 weeks to look it over (we sent the doc the day after the request).

Hopefully we have a quick BGC! Great to see all the DMs and PPRs lately ;D

Hey all!

I'm from the February timeline for outland.
I'm going around to the other months and seeing if anyone who is outland had to wait very long for their AOR2 or their third line ECAS?
all of us in the feb timeline seem to have hit a stall with it. some have received it but not many of us.
It's been a whole month now since most of us have heard anything.
-Most of us have Ottawa as the VO and I know we don't receive emails

My husband did not get aor2. But on ecas it showed it was processed in the assigned VO, it served as aor2 :)

Yeah, never got an AOR2. Ottawa applicants don't commonly get it, if at all.
