Hi friends,

last time when I raised a web form they confirmed me that “the resposible office has determined that you meet the eligibility criteria”. However yesterday I got a response saying that my eligibility is still “In process”. Any thoughts friends?
Thanks
Sounds like the processing agent / assistant has checked your eligibility and passed it onto the senior officer. Now it's going through another check by them. Good news that it's been met though!
 
Hi everyone, my Express Entry Timeline:

Nothing changed in my profile since the biometrics were updated until I received a ghost update on 8th April and my Background Check changed to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." from " We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.". As far as I know this is the first time my background check has changed because I never notices this much. I believe I'm at IP1 stage, please correct me if I'm wrong. I understand the world has slowed down and it's gonna affect all of us who are waiting for the golden mail. I just want to know how much time does it usually take to go from IP1 to real IP2 stage? I know it depends case to case but a slight idea would give me a little satisfaction. I'll keep it posted if there's any progress. Thanks and best of luck to all sharing the boat!
Sorry don't know the answer to your question but we have very similar timelines! Mine is:

NOI from Ontario: Aug 1, 2019
Nomination: Nov 21, 2019
CRS: 438 + 600 = 1038
ITA: Nov 27, 2019
AOR: Jan 21, 2020
MEP: Feb 5, 2020
Biometrics Completed: Feb 9, 2020

Called on March 9 and found that Eligibility in progress, Criminality Passed, Security not started and VO is Sydney.

No GU yet though.
 
As of today from my Webform Request,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

During the verification process, background checks (e.g., criminality, security) are done to see if there are reasons why you or your family members may not be admissible to Canada.

We can confirm that:

  • The eligibility requirements are currently met.
  • The security background verification has not been initiated.
  • The criminal background verification is in process.
Due to the ongoing situation related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), some IRCC offices are currently operating with reduced or critical staff only.

We are working on processing applications as quickly as possible; however, processing times are affected and any disruption caused by COVID-19 is not reflected accurately on our website. We will make all the necessary efforts to finalize your application as soon as possible.

Is this a good sign?

It is better than mine:

AOR: 31 Dec 2019
MEP: 21 Jan 2020
RPRF: 27 Jan 2020
BIL: 29 Jan 2020

- The responsible office is currently verifying if your application meets the eligibility requirements under the immigration program for which you have applied, you may be contacted via your account if additional information is needed.
- The security background verification has not been initiated.
- The criminal background verification is in process.

I had the same reply as you a few weeks ago, then sent another web-form last week and got this back. So things are definitely moving along.

Ah that’s good to know, I worry about my eligibility.

Does anyone know if the “responsible officer” mean that my application is now at my final VO?

Hi Everyone,

Thanks

I have a strong feeling all your checks (eligibility, criminality and security) are done. you can raise webform to confirm this

Wow.. 15 mins is super fast! Any update since the last time w.r.t Eligibility, Security and Criminal checks, if you don’t mind sharing?
 
Sounds like the processing agent / assistant has checked your eligibility and passed it onto the senior officer. Now it's going through another check by them. Good news that it's been met though!
Thanks a lot

It’s been the same status since 6 weeks. Eligibility - under review, criminality - valid and security - not started.
