You will have to call IRCC to get this information. Be prepared to waste 1-2 hours for it though considering the wait time and call disconnections.

Yes I am FSW-Outland

I don’t have to call them from the same phone number that’s shown in the contact details in the tracker, do I? How do they verify it’s you, though? Do they ask some kind of security questions?

Hi everyone,
My application tracker shows that my eligibility, biometrics, and medicals are complete; background check is in progress. However my GCkey shows that eligibility is still under review; which tool is more accurate to follow for my application status?

Hello! That’s exactly where I am at, too, now. Mind sharing your AOR day and dates of other updates if you know them?

Yes
AOR 24 th of june 2023
biometric and medicals passed on 5th of july
i found out about the tracker recently so I dont know when i passed my eligibility; but it shows in progress on my IRCC account
Can you share yours?

 

[HD1111]

So, for anything after MEP and BIL, look at PR tracker. GCKey updates very slowly. In fact, GCKey's eligibility is tied to passport stamping - which means, it won't be completed till your passports are stamped (or you are issued a eCoPR).

Trust tracker for eligibility and background check. PR tracker isn't real-time either, but updates relatively fast(compared to GCKey).

Thank you so much for your reply It was helpful

Are you sure you’ve applied for PR and not Bell fibre connection?

LOL! How fast is that?

As it seems most of the PNP/FSW outland applications are moving faster, I have seen someone from july 10 Aor receiving approval this week. But still it is very hard to predict any pattern,

True, very hard to predict anything with the anecdotal data here as we only have 20-30 applicants per AOR cohort here. Not sure if AOR cohorts are even a good way to calculate it. Assuming it is still accurate, we need a minimum of 150 applicants to say anything with 80% confidence.

If we sub-divide this by sub categories, we will need 150 applicants per category (FSW-O, CEC, etc) to say anything. Everything else becomes confirmation bias tbh which to those who unfortunately go through slower processing eventually turns into a loop of depression as wrong source of truth was trusted in the first place

Hi, this isn't working

PNP outland
Aor-19th July

BIO Linked-1st Aug
Criminality passed -1st Aug
We are processing your Background check -1st Aug

The link works. can u try again

 

[AspectRatio]

Well, on that note, good news, guys. The official processing times for FSW just dropped from seven to six months. Congratulations, fellow FSW’s!

It seems that FSW has now dropped to 5 months, same as CEC now

 

[shawn.s]

any updates for anyone? seems rather quiet in AOR threads..

 

[mapleleafmapleleaf]

For BIL - look at GCKey. If it says, completed, it is completed. Tracker will say in progress for a long time.

For Background check and eligibility - PR tracker will be more reliable.

You are an inland applicant, iirc. Were you asked to do biometrics? If they are going to link your old medicals or bio, that update takes time. Outland applications have to go through new medicals and BIL which is where they "appear" to be faster. But that's just an illusion of faster processing.

If they have started your background check, you are very likely MEP and BIL (UCI linking never happens before that, which seems to be your case) + R10 pass (documents completeness check).

As long as they have started working on background check or eligibility - your application is moving at speed. It is only an issue if they for some reason don't touch your application at all, that would be an indication of delayed processing - but remember, they only have to process 80% of all applications in the 6 month SLA. 20% are likely to see the 6+ months processing timeline.

Thanks a lot for the information. I would be grateful if you may help me a bit with BIL.
I am an outland applicant, and I just was able to create the Status Tracker account. I saw that:
Bio is in progress, but in GCKEY, it has been linked to my previous bio when earlier this year when applied for the visitor visa.
Med is completed,
Background Verification is In Progress, and
Eligibility is Not Started.

I am a bit confused about whether or when I will receive BIL for me to provide new bio? Any information would be greately appreciated.
