Yes, but I received Aip in January on 18 via email. It is also mentioned on GCMS Notes as well.
Then are there already, background check is automatic and is finished by the next day of application. You can see it in your GCMS notes.

See "Criminality: Passed- Bio " that's the background check. Your eligibility is passed as well. Your PPR is prepared in Dec 2020, not sure why they are holding your PPR. Probably something is left to be completed in background check.

Yes but if the background check is passed then why is it still in the background check. and Yes I don't know why are they holding the ppr. Really sad as it's been 4 months since the dates mentioned on it.

I would suggest getting hold of GCMS notes of someone who got approved, then compare if there is something against the "Security: " and "Final: ". I feel that you background check is not finished. They only checked with biometric using their system, there are other things in the security check too.

I will try to get a hold of GCMS notes of someone who got approved and compare. But does a Background check take 3 months or more in my case?

Not really, if you have not provided sufficient documents or you have provided a document that is now their liability to verify then they would take their time. I suppose since no one knows their internal working.

Guys how are things with non-sds applicants from this time around?
I just made my application today.

The time in "check processing times" section is found to be increasing day by day. It shows 27 weeks as of today. I just hope it varies case to case in a very positive manner.
