Thanks a lot. Do you know how long the BGC typically stays on “in progress” before it goes back to “we’re processing”?

lot.

Hi, good question. and that's a question I don't have the answer as I myself is currently at 'in progress' for a week now. lol ...
 
Hello. Does anyone know how I can check my visa office? Outland FSW. Sent them an email, they replied requesting that I send it via web form. I did that a long time ago, but no reply. And their call line isn’t available outside Canada

contact the IRCC agent and ask them
 
I think I caught a ghost update,
1. my ADR moved from we are reviewing the additional documents you provided to Not Applicable

2. My BGC changed to your application is in progress, we will send you a message when we start your background check.

Did anyone else receive this update?
yes same here!!
 
Hello everyone,I just got today a response for my webform raised on 12/10/2020
  • The eligibility assessment is currently valid.
  • The background verifications are currently valid.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification has not been initiated.
I am however confused on how background verification is valid but criminality and security has not started. So confusing.

@legalfalcon, kindly explain please.

Hello. Been reading comments here and I’m kinda confused. Some people saying their BGC reads “in progress” and others saying theirs read; “we are processing your background check”. Please which of these mean PPR is on the way. I haven’t really been checking my updates. Didn’t know what the ghost update meant until now. Mine reads “We are processing your background check” and I don’t know if it means I should be looking forward to a PPR?

Hello,

I came to share that my medical passed and I received my BIL today. CEC AOR Oct 8.
If there's anyone in a similar situation, I guess if you wait yours will be processed as well. My agent told me it is taking much more than usual
due to the COVID situation. It took me over 3 months to receive this update.
Anyways, I will keep you guys updated.
 
Just called IRCC and below is my info:

CEC inland AOR 06th Oct.

The webform responses are ambitious. f the webform response states that the verifications are currently valid, “valid” here indicates, that the documents required for the specific stage are “legal, not expired, and accepted by IRCC,” and no further input is required by the applicant.

Based on the response you received it seems that your eligibility is either conclusively passed or recommended passed. To understand how eligibility is done, see #2,520

I called the IRCC office today.

I received the following information:

Eligibility: Passed
Criminality and Security: In - progress
VO: Centralized Intake Office


My AOR is 25th October, and I am from India, living in India. I am FSW-O.

Since my Criminality and Security is in progress, does this mean that I have just passed R10 completeness check and my employment verification and Proof of funds etc are yet to be verified?

Is it a good idea to order the GCMS notes? @legalfalcon

Edit:

I read your blog post here: https://goo.gl/9si33j

According to the post, Criminality only starts after eligibility has passed, correct?


Do Centralized Intake Office pass eligibility as well or do they pass it to local visa office?

Wow congrats on eligibility passed. Regarding security in progress, have you completed your biometrics abroad like maybe in Dubai?
