Hi
@legalfalcon
I hope you are keeping well. Could you please advise on what's the average wait for eligibility to go from recommended pass to conclusively passed by an officer after medical and criminality are passed?
Also, is there a bearing on eligibility being conclusively passed by an officer to start security check. I am asking this because when I inquired on Oct 1 about my application status, I was told by IRCC agent that I have passed the medical and criminality stages, eligibility is recommended pass and security is in progress and that I should wait until mid Oct for a final decision so I waited beyond that but did not hear anything until end of October and when I inquired last week about status of my application, I was told that the officer has not initiated the security check. I did try to get an answer from the agent by asking it differently and was told that "security screening is taking longer for most of the applications". Would IRCC agent know if security has started or is in progress or this information is hidden from them due to privacy reasons?
Do you know what happens after case analyst transfers the file to the Officer? Are there any regulations or guidance provided by IRCC on how applications are prioritized after its assigned to the officer like based on AOR/Last date application status changed/current validity of permits to stay in Canada based on UCI? Is it like waiting in a queue for an officer to be picked or randomly picked by the officer?
Thanks, I appreciate your help.
