My BG status changed to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." after 2nd Ghost update.

I came to know that this is not common and most of the applicants BG status wont change as per above. I guess, this indicates the file moved to a different VO.

Appreciate if anyone can provide details on this

does your background check says your background check is in progress??
No it still says " We are processing " i tried calling IRCC multiple or times every day but not got lucky to ask for latest update. Not sure if Eligibility is passed and Background verification is in progress now waiting for 2nd GU.

The status of eligibility will not be reflected on the portal, this is what IRCC agent has told me over the phone. In our case eligibility has been completed and the status has not change and the officer confirmed this. They have received our upfront medicals as well so we are only waiting for criminality to get completed and then security. In theory we have only one step left - 25th of Dec 2021 is our AOR

So your Background Check status is same " we are processing " and do you know according to current trend how much days it takes for 2nd GU after 1st GU which is for eligibility ?

I have no clue, it all depends on each application, it is hard to say. From what I have seen quiet a lot of people had 1 to 3 weeks waiting period between GU but as I said it all depends on your application. In our case the background status is as follow:
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
We are just waiting for criminality to be passed and then security. Yesterday they told me that they have received out medicals, we should get an update on this one soon. Our primary VO is Sydney and secondary is Ottawa.

AOR - December 1, PNP Inland

March 12 I had my 2nd GU, April 1 I got my 3rd GU, since then it's been silent. Also my background check status has never changed, it always stayed at "We are processing your background check.."

Anyone else is going through something similar? I saw that most people get their PPRs 1-2 days after 3rd GU, so I am a bit concern since it's been almost a week for me.

Some guys already got a PPR in recent days. At the moment we have everything done. I mean:
Eligibility: Passed
Medical: They have received them, just waiting for them to acknowledge on the portal
Background:
- Criminality is in progress
- Security is not started yet
Biometrics: Done
Additional Documents: Not Applicable

Our VO is Sydney as Primary and Ottawa as secondary, PNP New Brunswick
