Hi all, first time user here :) It's been 7 month since AOR so I get a bit nervous... Below is my timeline from the tracker:

May 19, 2023 Application received
Jun 08, 2023 Activity status updated: Medical exam - Medical exam status has been updated to Completed
[asked for some forms in June (Travel History and IMM 5669)]
Jun 23, 2023 We received the information you sent us. We’ll review it and let you know if we need any other information from you.
Jun 30, 2023 Activity status updated: Background verification - Background verification status has been updated to In progress

Now Biometrics/Medical/Eligibility are all completed, while background is in progress. I'm the only applicant.

The background check part has been quite long... and I don't know if it is actually "in progress." I tried submitting a webform and they said that things are still in progress blahblah - okay at least it's better than saying things are not in progress... But still, should I be concerned by this delay? Ironically when I check the usual processing time, it is now 5 months, shorter than the 6 months when I got my ITA...

Thanks a lot!!
