***** JULY 2020 CEC APPLICANTS TIMELINE *****

[vancouverBC2017]

I have almost hit 4 months and my eligibility is yet to start based on the call I made today. So, they can still request additional documents regarding questions they may have about your eligibility and other information during background check.

Thanks everyone, @assen89 - I thought after medical passed and biometrics that those ADR requests usually come BEFORE that. I know of someone who has been asked for an ADR after 1.5 months, so BEFORE biometrics and medical.

Called IRCC since I was questioning what was on my profile nothing was updated, waited for ~24 mins on the line. Agent was extremely helpful (probably relaxed and recharged after the Thanksgiving long weekend ) and told me the following:

Medicals (had it done July 2019): Passed
Biometrics (exempted gave it back in Fall 2014 for study permit): Passed
Eligibility : In Progress
Security : Not started
Criminality: In Progress
BG check: in progress
Visa office: CPC-Ottawa

Agent gave a heads up that due to COVID obviously the processing time will be more or less than 6 months

Hello y'all!! Was able to reach an agent again and again got lucky the was extremely helpful.

Just an update as of today:
Eligibility is recom'd passed

Sign that things are moving although slow it's better than none!

What means "Recom'd"? Recommended?

The completeness check is done by a separate staff to ensure the Case Analyst that evaluates your eligibility under CEC stream has all the relevant documents. In this first stage they can request ADR or reject your application due to a missing document e.g copy of degree or PCC.

In the second stage the Case Analyst can still request for additional documents when he is evaluating your eligibility.

My AOR is July 8,2020, just 7 days from your AOR date and my eligibility is yet to start. At least you can sleep well at night knowing you passed the most important stage, the eligibility.

I noticed that on Oct 15th my profile status changed from your action is required to submitted but biometrics hasnt changed until Oct 18th (I didnt check on Oct 17th).

Just called IRCC and the agent told me my eligibility checks havent started yet. He also reminded me that my process is still on time

Hi All,

Frustrated! Hey @AshishS87 thanks again for you calming me down mid-week, AOR: 30 July 2020, but still:
Biometrics: We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details.
Biometrics from 3 years ago linked in the upper right corner, but why do I still have that message , it still doesn't say "completed biometrics" it's really annoying me !

waiting is the only solution as of now. Nothing much we can do at this stage.

Thanks @AshishS87 and @dgeorge -
It's weird why it takes so long.

@AshishS87 - I just hope they won't forget it!

@dgeorge - you have also been exempted from biometrics as you have given TR biometrics in the past ten years, right?
And then in the right upper corner you have the biometrics linked to your express entry profile, right @dgeorge ?

Yes correct. I gave it in feb for WP application - it is showing on profile but not showing as ‘complete’ yet.. do I have anything to worry about

It's meaningless to see biometrics as "complete". My case updated as biometrics completed by the previously given one, but was still told that eligibility has not started, and criminality still in progress.
