Hello everyone,

I submitted my application online in Nov. 2021.

Yesterday I received an email notifying me to update my forms and police certificate, which I sent to IRCC via webform on the same day.

However, I cannot see my application status on the ECAS website, when I called the hotline it says "we are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements" "we are processing your background check" nothing else is needed.

Is this normal? What should I do to link it to my GCKey?

Thanks.

Nov. 3 2021 Submitted application

You cannot link the application to your GCKey until processing starts. Continue trying on eCAS. You’ll be lucky one day. On the average, from submission to the beginning of processing takes about 7 months. With the pandemic lockdown over, it could start taking less. Keep trying though. Your processing would start soon.

Thank you for your information, I am sure it is already being processed because my application number now starts with G rather than XG, maybe the ECAS and GCkey take more time to update, I will keep waiting.
