We are very similar - ours was received two days after yours. Medical is done and passed and background check just started about a week ago.
My background check hasn't started yet. There isn't much to it. I moved here as a 20 yr old student on visa and that was 8 yrs ago. I renewed my permits every time.

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does anyone know how to link an OWP application to the PR application online account? We applied for an OWP a bit late in early December instead of at the time of PR in August... also how long have some people waited to hear back regarding the OWP? It has been about 8 weeks or so since applying for the OWP.

Are you still on status when you apply for OWP?

Hi all,

Just want to share my timeline for future reference. My application was received on Aug 17, 2019. I just called CIC, security check passed and criminality check started on January 25th. Does anyone have an idea of how long between this stage and Eligibility Check? TIA!

The agent told me there're 2 parts of background check - security and criminality. And also I have seen a lot of posts saying the security check takes longer and usually starts after criminality check so I'm not 100% sure about what the agent told me haha. Saw this in another thread, hope it helps?

"Criminality check
: Your police certificate, RCMP, and Interpol being asked if you've committed crimes. Security check: Asking CSIS and their allies if they believe you're involved with extremists, terrorists, etc"

Had a ghost update on the 23rd Jan after BGC started earlier in Jan. Called CIC that day and they told me that I'd be receiving a biometrics request letter in 'the next few days'. Haven't received anything like that yet. Is anyone else in a similar situation? I'm not in the Whatsapp group any more so can't check in there :(
