Any idea with this? I am a June 21 applicant and have been in BGC since last year. Yesterday I got an update that “background verification is in progress” is this just a ghost update?
Is this on the Tracker? It might mean you've entered the comprehensive background check. You can order GCMS notes to be sure.
 
Hi, need some guidance.
Application Submitted: June 16, 2024
Eligibility Completed: Aug 01, 2024
Biometrics Completed: Aug 15, 2024
Medical Completed: Oct 01, 2024

Status shows that the background check is being done.

I need guidance/help with the following 2 questions:
1) Can I do anything on my end (for example, reach out to anyone, call etc.) to get an accurate status update or speed up the process?
2) My work permit expires in Aug 2025. Should I apply for an extension?

Appreciate any help that can be provided here.
Thank you!

If your background check is still in progress, there's not really anything you can do but wait.
You should apply to extend your work permit before it expires. It's likely you will need to apply to extend it, given how long virtual landings are taking; even if you received P1 tomorrow, it would take 2-3 months to get eCoPR, so you might not have it in time for your WP expiry. I have seen 1 month before expiry recommended as the time to apply for an extension.
 
After reply P1 email, Do we get an automatic reply? I replied P1 last night but haven't seen any reply so far. is it normal?
 
Application on June 24th, 2024
- Tracker showed that background check is done
- GCKey: "Final decision - May 12, 2025:Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made."
Hopefully i will get P1 soon *finger crossed*
My application was also submitted on June 24th and Background check just got updated to completed. Do you see any COPR details in the tracker?
