I am CEC inland applicant with AOR: May 22, 2020.
I just got off the phone with IRCC call agent, she said that:
Biometrics: Completed October 29, 2020
Eligibility: Passed
Security: Passed
Criminality: In progress
Background check: In progress
Medicals: Not started (medicals expired, waiting for extension?)

Does anyone know how long do criminality and background check take to get completed?
Same AOR, did my biometrics on October 14th. Called today: criminality still in progress and security not started.

Hi guys, I applied PR via CEC on May 9, 2020 and my screenshot is like below. Does it mean my Eligibility is Passed? What sentence do you see on your eligibility part?

I mean if it did not pass, I wouldn't be called in Oct 2020 to get BIO, right? I called the agent couple days ago and was told they are still working on my BIO. Is that normal?

Second question, how come you guys can see Security and Criminality part? I only have Background Check on my application. Thanks guys.

Almost all of us see the same thing on the portal. However, if you want to see all the details regarding (criminality, security, eligibility, review requirements and others) you have to order GCMS notes. This is only if you want to know more details about your application. It is not part of the process and if you order it or not, it will not affect the processing of your application.

You can start your ATIP to order GCMS notes from here :

Can you compare with the last GCMS notes that you have. What I understand from the (tentatively approved) is that: it is initially approved and waiting for final approvals.

No need to order GCMS, just call CIC customer service "at what specific Background stage my application is?" They will able to answer you specifically whether it is in criminality , security etc. also they will confirm whether or not your eligibility is passed or no. Hope this helps you,
All the best.
