It's been a month today since I submitted my application. Got an update on the 2nd day that medicals have passed and background check has started (May 11th).

Since then, it's been a standstill. ECAS shows Application received (again since May 11th).

Just curious, how did you get that score without Canadian work experience (seeing that you're FSW, not CEC)? Are you a PhD/frankophone?
 
I qualified for both FSW and CEC. Both my wife and I got top marks for IELTS. I did my bachelors as well as a Post Graduate Diploma. Both my wife and I got our ECA's done. Have more than 3 years of foreign experience and more than one year of Canadian experience.

No PhD and not a francophone.

Ah, you're CEC who got ITA as a FSW. Thanks for the answer!
 
I actually preferred FSW.

Are you applying as FSW or CEC?
 
I got the ITA for FSW...
 
Can somebody tell how long on average it takes, when status changes for background check "In progress" to the next step?
