My representative made the call and he asked for the status of the application, it was informed to him by the agent that international security is in progress, he did not ask other things so what it means Eligibility and Criminality already passed or it could be still in progress. @legalfalcon could you please put some light.

Security only starts after eligibility is passed. So if your security has initiated, then most likely your eligibility should be passed. However, you can send a webform and inquire.

Hi all, I got 3rd ghost update today and my background status is
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
My AOR is 26 July inland. I read that after Ghost Update 3 applicants got their PPR, is it true?
I have this status for last 3 weeks

Yes, the criminality happens along with R10 based on the PCCs. The criminality will stay pending until the biometrics are provided.

No, criminality and eligibility are not interrelated. Once your eligibility is conclusively passed, your security will start, even though your criminality can still be in progress.

Hi guys,

I got the response for my webform inquiry about my status. Here it goes:

Eligibility: In progress
Criminality: In progress
Security: Not started

My AOR date is July 22. I am bio exempt and it hasn't been updated. I had 3 ghost updates so far and the latest was a month ago. My background check status has been the following since Sep 14 that I passed my medical.
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
I got GCMS notes a few months back (very early on!) and I know that my primary visa office is Ottawa and the secondary is Edmonton.

It seems to me that things are not really moving forward. I hope this helps someone!

Hey guys today I called IRCC to check on my application by entering my application number and DOB. I noticed that biometric was not mentioned at all and my background changed from "Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information." To "we are processing your background check."

any idea what this might mean?

To give you more insight, the last time i touched base with an agent on Nov 9
Eligibility : recommended passed
Security: not started
AOR Jul 1
VO: CPC-Ottawa

Thx guys. @legalfalcon @caipsnotes i would appreciate your thoughts with this one

When you say you passed eligibility, was it conclusively passed by an officer or just an analyst.

See #2,521

Security is fairly quick for most applications. It takes 3-5 weeks, unless the application is in enhanced security screening.

Security only starts after eligibility is conclusively passed.
