quick question to anyone - i had recently called IRB to ask about my application since my lawyer wasn’t really following up and i got a call back informing me that they are waiting for my FESS from CBSA and that’s what’s taking a while. I was a bit confused since i wasn’t sure whether the background check from IRCC is what the csr was telling me about. anyways i was wondering could it be that me living in multiple countries is the reason why my application is taking so long ?

Personally, after following a chain of phone calls to the IRB and CBSA I learned that the background checks done by IRCC and CBSA are separate.
At least that's what I understood, as the person on the phone wasn't so confident in their response and I was transferred between quite a few CBSA workers before getting to one who knew what I was talking about, maybe there was a miscommunication error.

yeah i did figure that as well. seems the one from CBSA is what’s taking longer in general for most cases
