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?

I have also received the same statement in my tracker “background verification status has been updated to in progress”
I received an ADR on 12th April and submitted on the same day. After 3days the status in GCKey changed to additional document uploaded and since 29th April it is under review. Since i’m living in a sanctioned country and the ADR was related to my conscripted military service I assume you guys are right and i am under comprehensive security check. But it is weird, AOR 30th November 2023, since I created my tracker profile background check was in progress since the beginning and it updated to in progress again while being in progress!
Another question is the eligibility was “not started” and it’s almost 3 months that the status is “in progress”. When does eligibility update to completed? Isn’t there a way to know atleast one of them is completed?

Hi! We have the same ADR about military records. Our AOR is September 29, ADR request was in mid March.
Our eligibility was changed to Completed in the end of February.
Background is in progress since the tracker creation. The last tracker update was in the beginning of May without any updates or new lines in the tracker.

Hey Medmar,
What you heard is correct and I am also in the same boat. My security check started from 8th March and there is no update so far. Once you see this message in your tracker that your application has gone to comprehensive security check. I have created a watsapp group for such people please feel free to join for further updates. There are 16/18 people like us in the group.

What’s the group link? This one is expired
