Your application is in progress we will send you a msg when we start you BC

So, can anyone help me and tell me at what stage am I ?
Thank you

I hear that people use Textnow or Hushed to call IRCC. There's plenty of threads about that.

TBH, for an outlander, you'll need to wait. IRCC's top priority is inlanders right now. Very good luck!

Security check has been initated as Agent would have passed your eligibility. Wait for it to go back to the Original status of We're Processing and that would be done after an Officer review is done.

No, you wont get any phone call. You may get an email that your application is approved or your status will be changed in your CIC account. Looks like you are in IP1, ideally your background status should change to we are processing your...again to indicate that you are in IP2, at this stage you can expect PPR anytime.

Use Textnow app, get a Canadian number and you can call IRCC to get accurate status.

Nope ! If you're an outlander, most probably the wait is gonna be long. Moreover, entirely depends on how soon the officer review is done that conclusively passes your eligibility. Also depends on the VO's. London Visa office is known to have a very quick turn qround time while Accra is nototirous for the delays. Sydney and Ottawa for now are giving preference to the Inlands. It's just a mix of numerous factors and it's really difficult to predict anything in these times.

Did anyone experience this for the Spouse Open Work Permit application? I cannot find any similar experience on TRV, now I ended up here. I am a student and my spouse is for OWP.

NON SDS - Philippines
SP + SOWP + SPMINOR

We reapplied last May 6, 2022
Biometrics - reflected from prev application(got refused last March)
Medical passed May 31, 2022
Reviewing Eligibility - May 31, 2022
Ghost Update for us(Family of 3) - June 15, 2022

Suddenly background check of my SOWP changed to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check".

After days of contacting the Manila visa office for follow-up, I received a reply and they told me that Qatar PCC of OWP is pending. I didn't receive any Request Letter since Reviewing Eligibility. Also, I already attached his Qatar PCC on his client info application. However, we still replied to their email and explained the situation. It has been almost a month and the background check of my spouse hasn't been updating and our application is at 94 days already.

Any idea how long until PPR? I already requested GCMS from IRCC and CBSA . Requested IRCC last June 14, still not received until now. CBSA will be by August 21

I am very anxious and depressed about our application. Are there any chances that we will still be refused at this stage??? Please help!!! :confused:

Thank you!
