Hello Everyone,

I was just wondering if the VO gives you a heads up that your background check has begun or will it always appear on your cic account?

Thanks in advance

GCKey will change to 'We have started processing your background check'.

Did you call IRCC or ordered GCMS notes to find out the status of your eligibility and criminality?
BGC is done after you complete this...
