if you have it, submit it before they have the chance to return your app. did you have aor already?
Oh really? Is it that serious? Should I physically mail it or use CSE?
It just doesn't make sense for them to expect it! When we filed there was no NOA 2016 available... It wasn't even time for it!
Yes, I have AOR. My stats are in my signature below.
P.S. What mail address should I post it too?
oh wait. you applied march. i applied feb and i didn't have it yet at that time too and they accepted it. lol. sorry to scare you. i'm a klutz, i didn't bother reading your timeline. forgive me!

Yes, once you upload your Sched A and PCC, a few weeks later, the background check changes from Not Applicable to Is being processed. I'm waiting for the same thing myself. I uploaded my documents June 12 and I know of a couple of people who uploaded a few days before me, none of ours have changed yet. Before us though, it was changing for people to in progress about 3 weeks after they uploaded. It's been 4 weeks for us now, and it's all still the same. Either due to the backlog that the long weekend always creates, or they slightly changed the process again and will change the status later. Regardless, the next step is to wait for the background check to go to in process, and for a medical request to come in.

Don't stress out. They accepted it, so it should be fine. I'm on the same boat here - I applied on March 13th, and we also used NOA 2015. If they need the 2016 one, I'm sure they will request it.
Has anyone who submitted their Sched A and PCC in the first half of June (1-15) on their MyCIC Account seen the Background Check in the table go from "Not applicable" to "In Process" yet?
Ours changed a week ago and we submitted Sched A on June 8th... Now we sent it both by mail and CSE so I don't know which was treated first...
I see, and what does the "Review of additional documents" row in the table say for you? And on the page before that, where it lists all the apps in your account, under the details column, does it say "Your action is required"?
I'm thinking that only people who submit via Mail or Webform/CSE get the background check row changed from N/A to In progress, maybe as their way to tell them their docs were linked to their online account.
I can't really tell you as I don't have my access to myCIC right now so I can't verify, but from memory it still says that my action in required and that they need additional documents, nothing changed in that regard. I verified with an agent on the phone and apart from Schedule A they weren't requesting anything else, so its seems it just haven't been corrected yet.
You just have to follow the guide, and it does say that you need to put you checklist first, then your barcode pages, and then every other documents in the same order as mentioned on the checklist.
Well, my background check says "Not applicable" but a 2 days ago, I got an email about Medical Exam request! Are you sure the order is like this:
Background Check (PCC) -----> Medical Exam ?
Because I asked a few pages ago and people were saying that the request for medical doesn't mean the background check is complete!!! ?
You got your AOR anyway so you shouldn't worry about it... I guess it's just easier to for them to verify your application and make sure you aren't missing anything if you put it the way they ask, but doesn't mean they are returning applications if some documents are not placed in the right order.Yikes! I didn't do that, I put the barcode pages in order of the page numbers
I believe medical request is independent from background check, cause background check takes a long time to be completed...
