What is average time to wait for background check to start for Americans? I got aor2 third week of May and have heard nothing since besides med request
 
It depends on how well the institutions asked are ready to reply. Also, it depends on your biography (where you worked, where your lived, where you traveled). The same for the spouse if you have one.

I am from the states and my wife had lived in Canada her whole life. Pretty straight forward I would think
 
Judging by what I have read is it not uncommon to wait 6 (almost 7) weeks for my background check to start?

I have been watching the spreadsheet and my app seems to be way behind others. Some people wait like 6-8 days before the background check starts.
 
My husband is American. His background check started about a week or so after the file transfer.
 
I was contemplating doing that. Do they not update gckey often?

The GCKEY hasn't been that reliable lately. Your notes would be a bit more accurate.
