FSW Outland here. A bit concerned about how vague the response I got was:
  • The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied,
  • you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.
  • The background verifications are currently in process.
No information about COVID delays. I see others have gotten details about security/criminality but mine doesn't mention anything about that either.
I think it depends on the officer that responds. Though I wouldn’t worry about the other information as it’s general. The important thing is that they have let you know that eligibility is in process and that the background checks have started. I wouldn’t worry too much about the covid delays part
 
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

You will find below useful information that we hope will help understand the process and current status of your permanent residence application under the Canadian Experience Class.

  • Your application is currently being processed at the Case Processing Centre in Ottawa, Ontario.

Nothing about eligibility, even when I specifically asked about it.

Makes sense, thank you! I ordered GCMS notes. Hopefully those arrive soon though I heard there are delays with that as well.

Hi everyone, I just got a webform reply today, still saying "The responsible office has not initiated the verification regarding the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied"

Also my file was in CPC Edmonton but now has move to CPC Ottawa. Anybody knows what that might mean? Thanks!
