When logging into CIC it is saying this for background check:
We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Is this just a basic thing they have on there or does this mean I should update the spreadsheet that they started our background check?

Is there anyway to find out if a file has been transferred to the visa office yet? I'm a April 7 Applicant.

Happy Friday,

I haven't received my SA yet (AOR1 received on May 25) but my spouse's linked appication shows the following "We are reviewing the results of your medical exam.". It appears to be a glitch since no medical exam was requested nor done. I guess I will call IRCC sometime next week to figure out what is going on out there:)

I recommend buying Skype credit. I had to wait 40 minutes to get to talk to an agent and then we talked for like 5 minutes, everything cost around $2 for a 45 minute call in total.
Download the fongo app and make free calls to canada and the usa from anywhere!

This status will change to 'Not applicable' in few days and around DM time is will again change to 'In-process', after visa is issued to 'Completed'. Not that significant to keep track of status. Every case is different depending upon travel history and many other things.

while there is no minimum income needed to support your spouse, CIC will be looking for you to prove how you and your spouse will support your selves in Canada

you can take a look at the document checklist for all the documents and forms you may need:
