So according to this ... http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/csis-cic-checks-t67570.0.html
Applications for Permanent Residence from Within Canada
The Service has the sole responsibility for screening immigrants and
refugees who apply for permanent residence status from within Canada. In
2008-2009 the Service received 33, 837 such screening requests. Of these
requests, 21, 950 were immigration applications and 11, 887 came through
the Refugee Determination Program.
According to the statistical information provided by the Service, the
time required for the Service to issue a recommendation on an
immigration application varies considerably depending on how the
application was filed. Those applications filed using the Electronic
Data Exchange from within Canada took a median of 45 days, and
electronic filings within the Refugee Determination Program took 55
days. For those applications filed on paper, the median turnaround time
for immigration applications from within Canada was 70 days; for
applications from the U. S. it was 150 days, and for paper applications
from within the Refugee Determination program 94 days.
So....if when our ''mycic'' background check changes to ''in progress'' meant that they started to check our security.....then we should expect a waiting period of probably 2 months.....
Let's see.
