Hello,
Now my PCC which I've sent along with my application file is going to complete one year end of this month and Background check not yet started.

I've made new one and travelled outside my home country. I'm worried to wait without updating my file with it. How can I send it to my visa office ( Via IRCC webform only, or I have to send hard copy to visa office also)
 
It could be possible that MyCIC is not updated correctly.

For ex - For me,

MyCIC shows "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." for Review of eligibility since AOR ( 27th Jan)

But

GCMS from 2nd June showed my Eligibility review had not started.
I ordered GCMS , got it 3 weeks ago , and my background check didnt start yet , so its not a mistake

how can you explain that ?

I did both.

Upload it via Webform and if it's not too expensive then send Hard copy to Ottawa ( Edit: Since you VO is London you will send it to LVO)

What's the status ( Started or Not Started) of Criminality, Eligibility, Security and Medical in GCMS ?
Medical passed . that was since april in my CIC and saw it in GCMS

all background check statuts Criminality, Eligibility, Security Not started which explains why my CIC status says we will send you a message when it starts

so its not a mistake

For Inland (and US applicant ) below status is normal ...

And security shouldn't clearance from CSIS shouldn't take more than 3-4 months and that make sense -as EE folks usually get their results in 6 months refer below link , if security is not started that means its agent /VO who has not started working on file ...

I think i saw some cases where background check was done in one month , could someone confirm that

i hope thats true , because mine didnt start yet , and iam almost on 9 months waiting

Quick Question on Medical Requests. Email I received says that:

"Please reply directly to this email and put your application number in the title"

Am I supposed to send Medical Requests via email? Did everyone else get same instructions?

Thanks !!

Yes, I received a similar email from Paris visa office. But they asked me to send them, directly via email, the resumes for me and my wife, military records and my addresses since 2015. Also, the same documents were required to be uploaded through my CIC. Therefore, I sent the documents via email to visa office and uploaded them to my CIC as well.

Congratulations to all who received news lately! It is excellent to know that things are finally moving again (i think maybe it was the holiday break that slowed things down)....

I received CoPR today, 2 weeks after PPR. I will be landing on Saturday (don't really know yet, considering that some of the border crossings are going to be extremely busy considering the refugee crisis at the border right now...

i'll be sure to share my experience with you guys and thank you for everything!
