Activity status updated: Background verification status has been updated to In progress

[TTBR]

As an example, you can take a look at this dude's timeline: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/members/raulf.1055039/
he got the pass request almost 2 months after the "bgc in progress" update.

I'm not sure what is 'pass request', but based on his signature he had Background status "In Progress" on 26th June 2023 and FD on 3rd October, what is 3+ months for a check.
or are you referring to something else?

By Pass request I meant "passport request letter" to get the visa stamp
based on the guy's timeline:
26th June 2023 : Tracker Application history updated with Background Verification status changed to "In Progress".
3rd October : Final Decision on GC Key with a Information letter explaining next steps.
Usually a couple of days before the final decision bgc is completed. even if we consider June 26 to October 3 it 69 days which is almost 2 months. And 2months is not the duration of a comprehensive check. So we can be hopeful that the said message doesn't refer to being under comprehensive background check.

I'm sorry, but I still don't get how July + August + September + a few days in June and October can be 2 months and not 3+...
And why do you think that security check can't be just a few months?

July 26 to the end of the month = 5 days
August 31 days
September 30 days
October 4 = 4 days
5 + 31 + 30 + 4 = 70 days
2 months and 10 days

Comprehensive Security check usually takes more than 6 months based on what we have seen for other applicants.
security check can take a few months, that's correct. But the whole purpose of this thread is to find out if there's any correlation between having the message "
Background verification status has been updated to In progress" in tracker history and going under a long security check (comprehensive security check) Needless to say many whom their bgc is completed within days don't get such a message in their tracker history.

Hello family,

I'm looking for similar experiences regarding the following issue:

My permanent residence application is in progress. Biometrics, Medicals, eligibility, information sharing, and criminality have all been validated. Security didn't start until May 9, 2024, when I received a ghost update. Upon calling IRCC, I learned that my security is now in progress.

I saw this update on the tracker on May 10, 2024.

Activity status updated: Background verification
Background verification
Background verification status has been updated to In progress

By talking to people around me, I learned that this update only appears on the tracker when the application is undergoing a comprehensive security screening, which can take months, or even a year or more, to be approved.

Could someone share their experiences on this? Is this really the case? Have you got same update on the Tracker before?

Same my tracker also updated to Background verification status has been updated to in progress on May 24 2024. What does that mean some receive Background verification status has been updated to complete.
