My BG check is in progress since 23 December, any idea how long it takes on average basis for CIC to conduct and complete BG check for PR candidates under express entry?

Any idea for candidates specific from Pakistan specifically??

thanks :)

If cic finds everything ok, then they change bg status from in progress to not needed within 2-3 weeks. But it differs on case to case basis. May be someone from your country may help with their timeline.

I'd say there's no definite answer to your question.
For some people, BG takes months, and there were some whose BG was in progress only for several hours, and then the PPR came.
So, like a lot of things with IRCC - we can't really make predictions based on statistics here.

Can anyone throw a light about what actually happens during the BG process?

the post is valid for paper based application, the essence of BG is same i suppose.
