Everyday I check a million times to see whether my BG changes to 'We are processing ..." or not..

Hope we all get PPRs soon.. it has been 135 days already..
BG in N/A for more than 3 months.. but still, we are in their regular processing time.. we should not worry until we reach 180 days, but its not possible not to worry..

Your application is perfectly fine! Remember that you added a spouse, so they require the same time to do the background/eligibility check, they needed to do for you. If they requested your spouses' medical report and other docs then you might get your PPR up to 2 weeks.

Just relax and enjoy the weekend :)

The only time they ask for a RCMP is when another person with criminal background has the same name as you, so they want to make sure that its actually someone else.
Don't worry about it, it might delay your processing time for 1 day max (if your record is clear) :)

Hey,

I also had rcmp request on august 22 & submitted on 31 august. My adr is still " we need more docs" & called cic previous day & file is still in same stage ie criminality .

So, I would say rcmp might delay file for 3-4 weeks.

People who are "stuck" in N/A for a longer period of time, usually get the change of Background to "We are Processing" and the PPR email the same day

I don't think so, because RCMP is basically a report from the Canadian police that you just have to cross check with the applicants' name and date of birth. The RCMP check, already post submission by the applicant, cannot last 3-4 weeks.
Check for criminality and security, which usually happens at the same time and is quite a long process and involves many agencies, such as CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking, and touch-base with Local Police (to get the confirmation of RCMP report). And this is the part that is final and very detail-oriented, because many things are considered here... number of the countries visited, your nationality, your job in Law Enforcement (if you had one), Prolonged stay in a country without a reason, frequent visit of certain countries, that have a high rate of terrorism etc.

The RCMP check takes only 1 week to get and 1 day for CIC to check.
Only if your name pops up in some other agencys' report, they might do a further investigation, which might take a longer time.

Being stuck in a Criminality stage means that they are most likely still awaiting the results of the check from other agencies.

If you are clear, then no need to worry :)

I do agree that security check takes time. But criminality & security are done at separate stages. Medicals > Criminality > Eligibility > Security.
My rcmp report says I have no trace of any crime. But it's all about when cic picks up my file again, they haven't yet. When they do, surely it will take them little time to verify rcmp report.
I have already submitted my rcmp report & still no updates after that, so yes 3-4 weeks delay is happenig with me & some other people too that I found on this forum.

Hi, I am from EE FSW..May 27 I submitted my application, July 27 I got a message for additional docs, which I provided within 4 days. Since then the profile was showing ADR - being reviewed and BG - NA, but I checked today and BG status shows - we are processing your BG check...' What does it mean...any clue?

It means that you are in a final stage of the processing :)

I guess it all differs in terms of stages now, because in my RPRF letter it says:

"This is in reference to your application for a permanent resident visa, which has been found eligible in the class for which it was submitted. Admissibility review (security, criminality and medical) is still on going; you will be contacted if additional
information is required for that purpose.
At this time our records indicate that you have not paid the required Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF). You must pay this fee before a permanent resident visa can be issued....." , so "Medical>Criminality>Eligiblity>Security" is not always a standard process.

Anyways, every case is unique :)

I got the same message as you (my medical is passed though and no additional documents needed) I hope it's just a standard letter!
