For those who have received background completion - before the completion, has there ever been a status update in the tracker with the message of "Background verification status has been updated to In progress"？

That happens. Maybe try logging out and back in.

Try this on your tracker page(chrome): right click->inspect->console->Object->relations->0->history

Were they able to leave Canada and re-enter during that long process?

It says under background check “We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.”

Everything else is complete and green. It's just the background check that's still blue and in progress.

Just found out today that we entered security check. Got code 17 for security in the tracker. Bummer.

I decided not to apply for an extension. I applied for the OWP in mid Dec and got the approval in mid Feb.

Hi, yes, got my OWP.

No...

When I applied for OWP, it was form IMM 5710 that I submitted. Was that not the case for you?

Me too. I thought they should be back from holidays already... My medical and eligibility still marked as not started.

I applied for OWP a few weeks ago. I haven't decided if I should also apply for a visitor record extension just in case anything goes wrong with the OWP.

Hi guys, I have a question about maintaining status while waiting for PR - can I still apply for visitor record extension if I have less than 30 days left in my current record? I know the government advises to do it when having more than 30 days, but wonder if it's a hard requirement. Thanks!

Yeah possible. My GCKey got updated to biometrics completed but my tracker didn't. I guess things are halted for now.

Haven't heard anything for more than 2 weeks after BIL. I initially thought they were waiting for me to complete biometrics to send the medical request, but I saw others getting medical or even eligibility passed before giving biometrics. I'm a little worried too. Or maybe it's just the holiday...

You mean after giving biometrics or receiving BIL? I got BIL on 12/7 and completed it on 12/20. No medical request yet.

Thanks. If I apply for OWP, do I need to apply at least one month before my visitor record expires? I'm asking because I'm waiting for the PR medical request before applying for OWP, but I'm not sure if I will be able to complete it in time.

Timeline update: Received BIL on Dec 7. Seeking advice: my visitor record is hitting the 6 month threshold at the end of Jan 2024. Should I apply for OWP or visitor record extension or both?

Thanks! I'm anxiously waiting for the PR medical request. It's been two weeks since I received AOR. Hopefully this week I can receive it.
