Background still in progress but i asked for notes and it seems criminality and info sharing passed . But i dont know why it taking ages .
So background not completed. Background checks also involve checking all documentation like bank statements. What is your country of citizenship? If for a TRV, then just wait. No rush. Backlogs, number of applications, staffing, verifying documents are all issues to take longer. Assume you don’t have valid US visa for Can+ processing.

They will check all your documentation like bank statements (make sure not fraudulent). Processing times are estimates. IRCC sites says…Our processing times show how long it took us to process most applications in the past for each application type. That could mean only 51% get a response in line with current times.

Don’t think it is crazy as your background check is not complete. All you can do is wait. What is the urgency.

I thought they check the POF, work experience etc. in the eligibility phase, and security is basically IRCC working with the other agencies purely about security threats?

No background check will include verifying documents which can include bank statements for authenticity. Making sure documents submitted are not fake. Also verifying that you are who you are through passport and it is real. Security screening is part of a background check. It can take a while.

Ok thank you.. I'm FSW-O Sep 1 AOR with 2 "yes" to stat questions, so pretty sure I'm under "review required stat questions", hence eligibility did not start.
Any idea who will conduct my eligibility review? Is the officer, after reviewing the stat questions going to carry on with the eligibility or send my file back to case analyst to continue working on it?

So you are PR and have sponsored your spouse but wanting TRV? What are reasons for urgency letters?
