Hi everybody.

As the title says, my gckey says « we are processing ... » for my background check, since I was able to link my account on Jan 16th.

We applied in nov 13th
Aor Jan 22nd
No SA, no médical request, nothing.

Is that normal? Anybody got that?

Thanks a lot :)

Hi this is new to me. Why don’t you call IRCC to verify as far as my experienced medical first.

Hi!
Sorry guys I didn’t get emails for your responses,
Thanks a lot for taking time to answer me.
I don’t call because I am outside Canada and I also think I overthink everything, but from what I read I don’t see a lot of cases like mine.
I will call in a month if nothing change, after all I am only 3 months into the process, still9 to go :)

But I was wondering, is bgc starts after transfer to VO? Or anytime? Would be nice if we stay in Canada

Everyone’s process is so different and I wouldn’t worry at all. I’m my casemy husband and I have AOR , sponsor approval , medicals passed . And no our background check has not started , no aor2 and eligibility is in process since we received AOR . I would not worry too much

Are you Outland app? Inland is different from Outland process try to look with the other forums for Outland app. Stay positive though! I can’t give you more advice as I’m not familiar with the process and timelines of family class sponsorship I just hope someone here with same experience as you will give you a concrete advice good luck!

I am Outland, I looked into the tracker but can’t really find anything. I hope I have news next week.

Thanks for your answers

So we really have the same, but you got aor mi December, I got it mi January.
I will keep you updated if I get anything.
Do you mind if I ask, are you Outland? Where is the pa from?
