Still here and thank you for your thoughts.
I believe we will be moving back to Australia temporarily for now and applying for residency there until this whole Canadian process is streamlined. It's difficult living in a country for almost 6 years to leave but I understand the process.

I just logged in to myCIC and saw that Background Check is now In Progress. YAY!

It hasn't changed in ECAS yet though.

It's funny how this works because I signed in to check this morning which would've been around 5:00pm Ottawa time and it said Not Started. I log in now just after midnight Ottawa time and it says In Progress....Weird office hours haha

Can anyone tell me what the rest of the process is after background check is completed?

Cheers :)

I'm not sure about this.
My application was overlooked by a government constituent and I believe on IMM008 you have an option to withdraw at a $75 penalty. Can anyone confirm what exactly the process is when withdrawing?
