Hi. You can call I rcc to atleast check if there are any red flags at present on any documents. I got to learn about this just during my last call with ircc. There would be no surety that they can raise flags later but think @legalfalcon can comment more.

Also q if @legalfalcon can ans. My bc stage is (checks in processing) since AOR. Is that a sign that it won't chnage now and they are actually in progress and that I would just expect to receive portal updates without any chance of changes to background check status from checking to anything else.

When you call IRCC, the agents only inform you that the application is in progress and the stage where it is at. No details are provided. To know the details or any potential issues with any documents, you will have to rely on your GCMS notes.

The BGC refers to criminality and security. This is why the BGC status changes twice during the processing of the application. It may be very likely that criminality, info sharing is is in progress and eligibility is pending. The BGC will go to N/A and then once Eligibility is passed, the BGC will be in progress again.

If you know the passport processing is going to take more than the 30 days… you can try to ask for an extension. otherwise just wait for the passport to arrive and send it to IRCC

Hello All,
I have a question that, I ordered GCMS notes on July 12th, but still I didn't get it yet. Should I wait for more time or ordered another one?

Wow. Congrats. Can you say where was your VO?

My timeline is below
AOR April 3 2021
Meds and bio passed May 9th and 31st respectively.
Called ircc ending of May, June, July and Aug 18th 2021. Each time agent advised applications is in final stage only security not started. No ghost updates. Application last updated May 31 2021.
VO is Etobicoke.
On my last call to ircc aug 18, agent advised security can be started until Feb 2022 and I should wait until

Anxiety is at the max. Can anyone say if my application will be refused considering the processing time? If my application is refused, are we given time to pack up and go home? Pgwp expires Jan 2022.

Hard to keep patience bro. 2 of my friends and sister with AOR late May and Mid June received their COPR. I really feel terrible. Why is the system so unfair? Why is my application on an indefinite hold?? I wish ircc can say "application is in progress and delayed because of such reasons". I would understand. But they literally have me standing in thin air, no updates, application only in process while my peers with such later AOR receiving their COPR. Thought to consider, I have 2 years work experience in NOC B with CRS 490 with ITA. My friends who had 0 work experience and were invited in the CRS 75 draw amazingly received COPR. Makes me question what system ircc follows??? Its a messed up one.
