Hello,

I am yet to receive any update since June 9th on my background check. I will finish 5 months on August 8th since arriving in Canada. My question is do I need to apply for visitor visa extension or since I have applied for OWP and my PR is under process, it already means that I have 'implied status'.

I'm in same position as you! Dont worry you are on implied status until you either get qork permit or PR! I've been waiting on BGC since June 29th as that wheb I received AIP! We both on last step shouldn't be long

Thanks, was there any relevant information in yours?
Not really, no notes at all, was pretty straightforward. The only thing I noticed was that my application was approved 6 days before the tracker showed eligibility and background completed.

So I rang the ircc today. P.s I've passed everything else and had AIP June 29th.
The lady on the phone said that information sharing part of my application had started but my criminality and security have not and my BGC hasn't started? I'm extremely confused. I thought that information sharing was when the third party who does the BGC shares the info back to the IRCC with either a negative or positive decision? So does this mean that I'm just waiting a decision?

Has anyone had any luck? I'm still stuck on the Background check here, says "In Progress" still, not had any updates what so ever, other than a GU when I linked my application to my GCKey. I got excited yesterday as I had an email from IRCC, but it was just an email from them replying to a question I asked, get this, back in May. I couldn't get over how long it took them to reply, it was that long I totally forgot I sent them that question, hence why I got excited by the email thinking it was to do with my PR

Nothing, not even eligibility started for the sponsor or PA. May I ask did you receive a notification in portal when sponsor eligibility started ?

Thanks a lot for the reply. I don't know someone wrote that we also need proof of funds so just wanted to make sure about it?

You dont' need offical proof of funds. But you need to demonstrate that the sponsor can suport the PA and they will not need social assistance. (e.g. if housing is provied by families, will be temporary living with families, have savings, already have job/income sources in Canada...etc)
