Just called IRCC and talked to an interesting agent. The agent kept on asking "what about the background check you want to know", "what specific questions I have" etc etc. She was very tight lipped and would give like one worded answers.
I asked as much as I could but I think they are not willing to give out information that you don't ask for!! She was very precise in her answers!
All I could find out is criminality is in process and security has not started yet. I applied on July 17.
By the looks of it, it seems May could not the month of getting P1 for July applicants.
Also, she said specifically that the 29 months of processing time applies to everybody who has the application in process. Doesn't matter when you applied, the current processing time goes for everybody.
Fingers crossed
