I have been away from the forum for a while. I am now over a year and have no update. Doesn't look like there has been many updates for September applicants according to the spreadsheet.
Actually, the September spreadsheet shows good progress even when compared to June, July and August 2020. However, I do agree that there are several applicants that are still in a limbo and some have BG checks In progress. I hope the ones still waiting see some quick progress on their applications soon!

Hello everyone,

So today, I got my background checks completed after a long time. Last update was in Feb 2021. I wanted to know what is the average time now to get the test invite after the background checks. Thanks
