I have a question if anyone has the knowledge about it:
I know physical presence, language skills are all based on documents. Background check is complete.
How do they check prohibitions? Do they request police clearance from countries the applicant has lived?
In my case, I have lived in 4 countries so far (India, Singapore, USA & Canada) is this the reason it application is taking such a long time?
As far as I know, if your BG is complete, Prohibition is just a formality. It gets approved together with PP and Language. That's just my opinion.

When I see your timeline it makes me so upset :(

* I have not been asked for fingerprints (or any other documentation/evidence) and today is 4 months since my Test was marked as 'Complete'.

Unsure what will happen from here and how long the wait will be :(

Really happy for you that you journey is finally over.

Hi Guys, for Online applications, we all know that we do not need to provide a scan of all the pages of the passport. I have provided the scan of the biometric pages as well as the pages with some stamps.

Should I provide the scan of all the pages of the passport before even the officer asks for it? Heard that it has been asked from many applicants.

Hi Folks, I have suddenly received a login error saying 'Incorrect UCI'. I have not had any login issue or a need to reset password, since the Oct tracker update, as many on this forum did. It is only now that the login error is popping up for me and my partner. Any ideas as to how to go about fixing this?
p.s. its not allowing to reset as the incorrect UCI is still showing up on that page.

I have the same issue every time the browser auto-fills the UCI and password for me. So, if you have a password manager linked to/autofill enabled in your browser, do a hard page refresh (delete the cache) and enter the UCI and the password manually. It works for me.

Thank you. That didnt work and I tried on different browsers which I have not used before. Tried to reset password again and as their page now says so when trying to login post Oct 13th. New password finally worked. No changes but there is a ghost update on Oct 8th which I didnt have when I logged all of last month but is showing now.
