Not a nice thing but my mp is told that all the background checks are on hold and the processing time is given until December to finalize

Background checks for you or all applicants?

That's insane

Wait a sec! How are people who are applying under express entry don't have this hold?! This is outrageous
 
Got a reply from MPs office in less than 1 day. They asked to sign some consent forms and will inquire on my behalf soon. Hoping CIC will take some action after ministerial impact.

They take consent to represent you. Hopefully your mp will hear some good news . God bless all of us
 
MP's office came back to me in less than 1 day (actually 8 hrs for whole process).

They advised my file is in background check by a third party. CIC advised them they don't have an ETC on background check as it is out of their control. MP's office advised me to wait for 3 months. If I don't hear back from them, they will inquire again.

I'm expecting GCMS on July 25, I will then decide if I will reapply for 2nd BOWP and SOWP.

Thanks everybody for suggestions here.

Looks like everyone is at the background check stage. And this "check" will take forever.

It should say pass under each sub-activity. I confirm my RCMP and Criminality were done as per past GCMS in March 2016. Security was started in May.

In my GCMS notes, I have two consecutive sub activities under Security that are removed. I am guessing
1. not started - In progress
2. In progress - complete

Hopefully!
 
anyone heard anything?
anything at all :'(
 
Hello, I'm also a September 2014 applicant in a similar situation to most of you.

I just received my notes a couple of days ago:

Security : Blank
Medical : Passed
Elligibility : Passed
Criminality : Passed

File location apparently moved from RFV Check to PACE

Does anybody knows what PACE means?

Due date was supposed to be July 10, but the status of my application has not changed since March (Medicals received).
