Hi everyone,

Is there a difference between BG and Security check?
The agent told me my BG was complete, but Security has not been started yet... trying to understand what it means.

No security is part of background

that's right , background check include medical, eligibility, criminality, security, misrepresentation and other checks.

security check is just a part of the background checks in general.

one more thing is that don't take the information from IRCC call center agents too seriously , they don't always have the full info anyway and sometimes it seems they have no clue how the process or the system works .

That’s impossible, cause BG check is security check, if ur BG check was complete, ur security check must be completed. My opinion.

Exactly. Maybe I misunderstood the agent...

I just talked to them. According to the agent, everything is still the same since I talked to them 2,5 weeks ago. Eligibility, security haven't started, criminality in process since April-May...There is no information of medical has been extended or not. I am really tired and exhausted of this. 12 days to go... It's not possible that no one has touched my application :(

man , I feel your situation . but maybe it's like some of ours , one day they tell you it's not started yet and the next day it's passed. that has happen to a lot of people, including myself . don't give up hope just yet.
 
Hi
Anyone have any idea how we know they extend our medical. My first medical is going to expire on 7 july.
It's hard to say because it seems the agents request for a medical at their discretion. I applied Jan 27, 2017, my medical expired in March 2019, and I got a requested for re-medical May 30, 2019. Some people have gotten their PR, others got a request to re-do medicals, and others are still waiting. I called CIC in March to ask what they'll do and the agent didn't give me an answer and then I got the request to re-do medicals two weeks ago.
