I never got PAL, I just assumed that since I am Inland that could be the reason why. Also I never did my medicals they just pulled the old ones I guess. Called IRCC yesterday they told me back ground and eligibility is in progress. Should I bother requesting GCMS in

Inland applicants also get PAL (sometimes, I think, not all), though not sure if this is a mandatory step to go through. What I heard unofficially is that PAL means that eligibility is passed. On my GCMS it says eligibility passed but on the tracker it did not even start. Vice versa, same thing happens with background, on GCMS security did not start - other steps are done but on the tracker it shows "in progress". Better request them if you want to know more about your application but remember that you might need to wait for them a long time..

That’s a very long background verification check. Do you any idea why this happened? Your nationality for example?

I also got a couple of request letters but according to GCMS notes my background startednin Feb25. Now it's Oct25 and still security did not start. I believe, and hope, that it will turn to "complete" in one day as the rest are done already.
 
Quick question and I did use teh search facility here but just want to absolutely certainty about the signature part.

I got an ADR today for IMM 5669.
It notes "Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background
Declaration form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature"

My question is just about the signature. I remember when I filled all these docs they were very strict about the barcodes and only the original could submitted.

I assume in this case I just have to fill it in, print it out and upload it again right. They want my actual signature not like an electronic signature? Is that right?

Thanks for your help!
