Hello,
progress bar is completed , 2nd AOR from LVO on last Aug, there is no update since.
i ask IRCC query for my case and they came back with following :-
This application is currently undergoing background checks. Please note that these checks are conducted by partner agencies, we unfortunately have no control over how long they take to complete. Based on recent processing times, we would expect it may take 6 to 12 months, from the date these checks are initiated
so we are exceeded 12 Months now, should we expect next progress after one another ( 6 months- one year) ?

same as our application, according to 2011 stats, security screen takes about 9-18 months...
thank you for the wishful thinking but no, not likely PPR soon as the applicant is under security screen which itself may take 9-18 months...
Where is your PA from that the security screen is expected to be so long? (This is my worry)
I'm guessing they send a pre-arrival letter when the eligibility passed, i.e. they believe the relationship is genuine. I have no confirmation, but that's just my feeling. And then depending on the security check one needs to wait for PPR from days to months after pre-arrival.thank you for the wishful thinking but no, not likely PPR soon as the applicant is under security screen which itself may take 9-18 months...
Yes, from what I see in GCMS notes, that is the case. They determine the relationship is genuine and then they send out Pre-Arrival. Now we have to wait for the result of SS.
Every year, Auditor General of Canada will do a survey for all government department service time and make this report public. I could not find more recent audit result, but from the report in 2011, the security screen will generally take 9-18 months.
2.53 For permanent residence cases, we noted that there was a formal agreement on service standards in the 2006 memorandum of understanding between CIC and the CBSA, which stated that advice will be provided to visa officers within 9 to 18 months. Through our file review, we found that the CBSA had completed its analysis in less than 9 months in 67 percent of the cases and exceeded 18 months in 19 percent of the cases.
Details are available here:

Some information from CBSA is available here

So for your question, you have 67% chance of being complete within 9 months and 19% chance of being complete over 18 months. Good luck.

Each case is different and it is meaningless to ask "how long", "when" timeline based questions to compare others with yours.
It does not make much difference as SS per se, it is always very lengthy and almost perpetual...
