thank you
Is there anyone that knows of someone with the case of being inside the country on a visit visa? Also, is there a maximum time frame allowed? (i.e. 1-2months etc)

I've also seen cases where someone has been inside Canada when request for passport received, keep looking in forums here.thank you

Maximum time frame: do you mean maximum time allowed to visit Canada? Whatever period of time the border officer allows/stamps in your passport on arrival. It seems six months is a relatively standard period but no-one can tell you in advance.
I know that on TRV you can stay 6 months, on this forum you can find (just use the search engine)thank you

This has been covered a lot here but bears repeating:
-Someone who applies for a visa with a PR application in process has a higher chance of the visitor visa application being refused.
-I believe current practice is that visitor visas are issued with a period of validity for entry to Canada (ie. if valid to June 30, you can enter June 29). This is separate from the allowed period of stay. (It's possible that some visas may specify slightly different conditions, I don't know)
-Again, on arrival usually they seem to allow up to six months stay, but the decision is to some degree with the border officer. It's stamped in passport. (i.e. they can put shorter periods even if they do not always do so).
-Very important: whether on a visa or from a visa waiver country, the border officer does NOT have to let the person in - notably if the officer determines the person intends to overstay or otherwise violate terms of entry.
-So for people with PR applications pending: plan as a visit, not as the start of your residency. Visitors who show up with no return ticket and all of their household goods and worldly belongings may well get refused entry. (Conversely someone showing up with a return ticket on a friday, a weekend bag and can show they have meetings on the next tuesday morning are going to look more credible in terms of intending to depart Canada). There is no way for anyone to say in advance how the border officer will treat a specific case in advance, they use their judgment.
YMMV.
So far on ecas it says application received but no second line added. As far as I understand when you receive a letter of confirmation from Mexico and you see a second line then that's AOR 2. Good luck
Thank you for your reply. In fact, I'm not happy about it because it brings much more delay for my application. Indeed, it would adds up at least a few months more to the processing time
Unfortunately there is no upper bound for background check. Sadly, it can reaches to a year or even more. I think I was unlucky for getting that request as many applicants do not receive it at all.

Ah, I see.
Yes, there is no upper bound for background check. This may be small comfort, but at least in your case they are actively looking at your file and there is evidence of some movement.
I honestly do not know what the cv request is driven by but it's at least possible it will answer what questions they have, and - key point - may be faster than the alternative ways they would check.
same trend is for New Delhi Visa Office...people whose applications transferred since mid November are in same status i.e. Application Received and no 2nd line added in ECAS..
Not sure they are processing the files behind the scenes or just busy !
They asked my wife for a CV last week, along with a IMM 5562 travel form (for travel during last 10 years). She submitted them the next day on her online account. We have not heard anything further yet.
