Mine says we are processing your background check . We will send you a message if Need more information. I notice this first time. Is this everyone’s account shows same.
I think it’s not same for everyone. Mine was recently updated- yesterday. Today I received an email regarding additional documents since I married after I applied for PR. They are asking me to fill imm 0008 and imm 5406 and marriage certificate. I am really happy, it means they are looking into my file.

Hello did you have to submit a webform to let them know of your marriage? What do these forms ask? Is your spouse automatically added to your PR?

Any idea how long it will
Take. Anybody please
 
I saw my background check is started. This message appeared in my portal :
“We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.”
Earlier there was a different message something like “IRCC has not been started the background check and they will let me know once they started.”
I hope it is a good news. I am April 2023 applicant btw
I have the same meg - "“We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.”.. I have been seeing this for a long time. nothing changed as of now. I am an Oct 2023 applicant.

Other Oct applicants- What is your status under the background check?

I married on May 2024, I let them know through web form but I didn’t send the marriage certificate. After 2 years they are asking the certificate and some form. My husband has Canadian citizenship, but still I need to fill these forms I guess.

When did you apply for PR ? When IRCC ask you to upload additional documents ? Did you receive anything after you send the required additional documents ? Sorry I could not understand your timeline .
