Some activity is going on. In Moscow, Russia, VFS opened for passport collection. Also, there are some messages about received PPRs in Mexico and some other countries.

Finally received wbeform response:

  • The application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied.
  • The background verifications are currently valid.
  • The security background verification is currently valid.
  • The criminal background verification is currently valid.

Any insights? I have been waiting very long time. I checked others' webform reples and wondering if there is difference between,
"meets the eligibility requirements" and "Currently meets the eligibility requirements"

At the risk of sounding dumb, what exactly is a "Ghost Update"? I mean, either there's an update or there isn't . . . right? What am i missing?

A ghost update is when you see that your application was updated (changes from "submitted" to "updated") but nothing changed when you open it (same status for eligibility, additional documents, etc...).

Biometrics has nothing to do with your criminality check. IRCC has the ability to clear candidates without biometrics as well. There are various reasons as to why your criminality is taking too long to be fully processed it could be related to travel history or country of origin or maybe they are short staffed at the moment.
Wrong. My gcms explicitly says that all done except pending biometrics (criminality) as officer written.

no update since then until today asking for this document. as per gcms and webform only criminality was cleared in these months. Any info on this would be great appreciated.

Cheers

Medical and biometrics also done in February. Please help me understand what this means? Also, i ordered GCMS this monday and another webform last night. How long does it usually take to start background check after eligibility?
