Hey guys, I am new to the topic of the difference between "Background Check" and "Security Screening".
Our couple's timeline in 2024 is:
EE FSW French Draw - 1 February
AOR - 10 March
Biometrics Request - 15 April
Biometrics Submitted - 18 April
Medical Passed - 15 April (used the medical for entry to Canada in 2023)
Biometrics Passed - 18 April
Eligibility - Not Started
Background - In Progress
Since our "Background verification status has been updated to In progress", does this mean we should be worried about delayed processing of our application? How do you known when the update refers to a normal routine check and when an application goes into 11-13 months screening check mentioned in this thread?
Another question, from your experience on this forum, is there any difference in processing times between Inland and Outland applicants in terms of Background / SS and the whole application?
