MAY 30TH APPLICANT HERE:
Just phoned up the contact center again for a check up, I noticed one or two in other threads said they had called to be told "security is now complete" when there ECAS was still in process. We're due to go on vacation in two weeks... So I was hoping something might have changed.
NOPE!....... Same old same old "we are still awaiting background checks for your application, they should be complete by MID DECEMBER at the latest, if you don't hear anything back by then, call us again".
The long, painful wait continues, BOWP is still not in either (May 31st we applied).
If anyone gets any further updates, feel free to let us know!
Thanks
