If anyone has or had the background check in progress due to delay in Criminality section and Security Passed, and no fingerprint requested, please share your experience.

Thank you for your wishes! The pigeon arrived 3 days late, my tracker was updated this morning that my Citizenship Ceremony was set to "In Progress" on the 25th November. I have been scheduled to attend the ceremony on December 14.

27 months of my life, this journey has changed me in ways I didn't think was possible.

I am in the same situation, yesterday I recived my GCMS note and I noticed that my application for one year never been touched and the last update in the file was the file was taken out of the archive for paper revision pm01 (I have no clue what does that mean) and why my file was in the archive!

You have the right to access your file with the notes and update. you pay 5$ and you wait (it may take a month or two to get it).
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

It gives you the details about your application. For example, I saw that my application was never been touched since December last year. It was pulled our in Nov 2022 (Maybe for review). Also that my criminality check was valid until August 2022, so maybe they goona ask for another finger prints

You don't need to pay anything. It's free for PR. Choose Privacy Act (ATIP).
