wha it was fast for you
Would you be willing to share your complete timeline? Forgive me if it's already posted somewhere. I'm most curious to find out when your background check started.
Congrats! And tbh, it is not that fast, it only took 4 months and 15 days for my case approval, VO is Mississauga.
This is a strange one. Usually Mississauga apps don't show up as in process on ecas.
Haha it's probably nothing. Maybe this will be their MO going forward.
More generally, it seems as though there is very little consistency over time, even within a Visa Office. For example, it seems (from looking at older posts and spreadsheets) as though seeing “We are processing your background check” on GCKey used to mean that approval was just a few days away. However, it now looks as though you can be waiting at this stage for months - is that right?
For the most part, yes. But there are a couple people who should have had their bgc start by now. So it's expected that they're going to get bgc, ppr and dm in a flurry like in the past. I'm guessing that because Mississauga is a new visa office, they probably don't have a well defined MO.
You are right, God knows how long the background check will take. Just have to wait!
