Hello sylvia27, exactly the same for me, is your background check "in progress" ? if yes since when ? what's your timeline ?
Yes my background check has been in progress since August I believe but I was still missing the CSQ which is approval from Quebec which I submitted in September.
I sent an email for CIC Ottawa on October 25th asking where they are on the progress and if there's anything missing that they require. Their response was:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times.
Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required.
We appreciate your patience and ask that you keep correspondence with our office to a minimum. In order to process requests efficiently, we will not be responding to duplicate requests.
So from the looks of it, they may be doing additional checks but I don't know what these checks are...
