Hey folks.

Just now, I received an email from the IRCC..

Do you mean this line?
"We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."
I've just noticed it today, and I am not sure now whether it was there before :
Yes, I am also still waiting for SA.

Yes that's what hubby's says too.. I wonder if it's a part of how they are processing applications from the new package or something.. :

My background check has also changed to in process:

Background check We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.

My background check has also changed to in process

So, did you notice it changed? I mean - you know it wasn't the same line there before?

For us it was literally the week my wife got her OWP (June 27 2016)... changed by the following Monday.

With ECAS and myCIC you can only make a guess. With GCMS notes, you can tell for certain, down to the second UTC when each exam was ordered and returned...

Yes I am positive it changed for me.

Looks like we have fallen into the trap of eCAS not talking to myCIC.

myCIC has not updated since we were able to link the applications (PR & OWP) and no emails from IRCC. On a whim this morning, we decided to check eCAS for Sponsor and PA. In the PA eCAS, we see that the IRCC sent us correspondence on April 17th. Its only been a week, so it could be going via snail mail but I thought it would have been by email or at least a logged request via myCIC. We sent a CSE through this morning and will see what they come back with. Or, perhaps a notice will turn up in the mail sometime soon.

PA's PCC from home country is due to be at the consulate the first week of May and the FBI just took the money out of my account to process records two weeks ago. Our Schedule A was filled out a long time ago, so once those two PCC's come in, we should be able to submit immediately.

In the exact same situation as you! I would strongly recommend phoning CIC, I phoned yesterday morning. It was a 25 minute wait but finally got to talk to a call centre agent. He put in a request for the email to be resent again, which could apparently take upto 6 weeks

just a heads up here.... they generally do not resend any messages or mailings. you might want to verify what the message was, and try to resolve their request without the letter.

Hello Mr, what advice do you have on this...I meant how will the request be resolved without the letter? Thanks.

If you haven't submitted PCC + IMM5669/Schedule A, then just complete them and submit. Otherwise, you need to contact the call centre to ask what the request was. If it wasn't a batch message (PCC + Background are batch sent), then they should be able to find what the message was.

Hello, was the agent specific on the 6 weeks time frame? Thanks

Thanks for the response...finally got across to cic agent, he made mention of the batch message and CSQ... and concluded he would prompt for a request for another mail to mycic account. Do you have an idea how long this request takes to be updated in such situation? Or would you advice I just go ahead and attach this documents via IRCC Webform? Thanks for your time.

Apply for your CSQ. I hear that takes a little time. If they haven't sent you the myCIC message again, then just send via web form.
