Hey guys, when you uploaded your photo, did you just upload the front of the photo or both the front and back (with dates etc)?

I’m in exactly the same situation with just only Background check says ‘not started’. AOR Nov 18. My VO’s also are the same and got swapped. How long does it take for CIO Sydney to at least trigger the background check to ‘in progress’?
There is no answer to this question. They provide a current processing time for CEC applicants of 16 months since AOR. Don't look too much at other users who got their portal very quickly, those are just exceptions as every file is unique, and the average waiting time is usually longer than that. This is just a game of waiting, luck, and hope.

Thank you! I needed to hear this today!

Hello there,

I had received request letter for getting WES access to view the report on 23rd Feb 2023, which i raised with WES same day and uploaded the required documents in the CIC portal same day. On 28th Feb 2023, in the morning i received 2 emails stating, "We got your document. Thank you!".

When i checked portal immediately, i see it showed,
Review of medical results
February 28, 2023 You passed the medical exam.

Review of additional documents
February 28, 2023 We are reviewing the additional documents you provided.


Later in the evening when i checked portal, i see it shows,
Review of medical results
February 28, 2023 You passed the medical exam.

Review of additional documents
Not applicable.


My question is, is it normal to show as "Not Applicable" under Review of additional documents ?
Has anyone got such update ?

Mine didn't show "we are reviewing...".
The status went directly to "Not Applicable."

I understand that it is what it is, but it shouldn't be like this. We shouldn't be relying on things like luck and hope when we are paying thousands of dollars for a service, that should be reliable, transparent and fair. No one really knows why someone gets their results in 2 months and others in two years, and that's because they don't really explain or care about following up on our applications and the reasons why they could be delayed. The lack of transparency is what causes all these anxious folks to make assumptions on forums, trackers, etc.

Hey all, I need a bit of guidance.
I applied for PR with a dependent. AOR 21st Nov
We paid the biometrics fee85$
Canada already has my biometrics but does not have my dependent's
My Eligibility has not started (but all others are completed)
My dependent's Biometrics shows in progress on the tacker and eligibility is not started.
There has been no movement on the file since Feb 2.

My question is, I never received BIL for my dependent. Any idea when I should expect that? or what I should be doing to get that asap if that is a hold up?
