Inland, paper.
Jan 13, 2022 Package was received by IRCC
Mar 16, 2022 AOR
Mar 17, 2022 Request for medical exam
April 4, 2022 Medical exam passed
September 6, 2022 Eligibility check completed, pre arrival service letter
September 7, 2022 Background check completed

Nothing new until today
Do you know how long the back ground check takes or it varies from your birth country? I was happy I got my OWP but I really want my COPR so I can start my life fully.

thanks for your time

From what I observed, the background check time is different case by case. I saw many ppl got their background check completed months after the eligibility check completed while mine is only 1 day after that.

In addition to my previous post, my OWP was issued on April 21, 2022 which is less than 3 weeks after medical exam result.

Okay great. I received my OWP fairly soon after my medical exam too.
Okay I’ll just wait and see
Fingers crossed!

thanks for your time and wish you the best!

Trust me, the status of Gckey, Ecas and Family class tracker are all different for me. As of today:
1. Ecas: finally decision made (despite I haven't received any letter on that).
2. GcKey: both eligibility and background check are in progress (despite I already received the pre-arrival letter in Gckey)
3. Family class tracker: "in progress" but both eligibility and background check are completed. There's COPR number and expiry date.

I got nervous and refreshed my mailbox like 9999 times a day in the last 7 days (after I received my pre-arrival letter). But yeah, still nothing.

No, When I got my work permit I just started to work once I got my SIN number.
So ensure she gets her SIN number from service Canada and that’s all she needs!

Hope this helps!
