Yes
Background checks is done before MR is issued, which might include security checks as well. Anyhow usually the security checks are done upon receiving the medical results and PCC.

Summary of the steps since the file is received by VO:
=========================================
Step 5: Application Received at Visa Office
After your application has received a PER, it is transferred to the relevant visa office. Further evaluation and an additional eligibility review is done at this stage.

Step 6: Visa Office Eligibility Check
After your application reaches the visa office an eligibility check is done. This might include background checks as well as security checks.

Step 7: Medical and Police Certificate Request
After the eligibility check the Visa office will request medical check ups and police certificates as needed by the Visa Office.

Step 8: Passport Request
Considering that there were no serious issues in the medical checkup and the police certificate requests, the Visa Office will request your passport.
Note: At this point your ECAS status should show as “Decision Made”

Step 9: Visa Issued
Hopefully your visa is issued and you receive your passport back with the Visa Valid for one year from the date of your medical test.

OK got your point.
But I know also that some VO do call employers to verify if they worked in the company or not even if the Job Description is not exactly as NOC duties.

So my question was, if MR is issued, does this mean background check (not security check) is done already?

Tayeb great... I think in most cases they immidately send the MR or PC and RPRF after receiving bank statement...

Except I think for one of our friends here (sorry I can't remember who) who is still waiting for a response after he sent bank statement... I think....

My bro Aboudo, from the analysis I did on the process the Cairo VO follows, I think it goes as:

- Ask for Bank statement update.
- Contact previous employers (if needed), that is what happened to Sabona (Employment background check).
- Send request for Policy Certificate request, and Schedule A update (so they start security background check) AND MR and RPRF (so they gain time).

So I think your file is stuck in the calling previous employers stage, can you check with them if the embassy contacting them or not?.
Note: may be silly, but did you check your junk "spam" email folder?

Ya rab all goes well with you soon and the rest of our group.

Thanks,
Yes, I did confirm with my employer and the company didn't get any contact from the embassy till now,
I am not sure what could be a problem...

I checked now and found the DHL had my name spelled wrong so I sent an email confirming if they received it

Oh, could be it, but you should have sent your file number or client ID so they map it to the bank statement.
