Hello,

I had traveled for many countries (8 countries) before i came here, would this delay the file processing after the file status changed to In progress?

Thanks

most likely.

Immigration will do a background check on you. The canadian govt has got many treaties with other countries to check the status of foreigners who've been in and out in other countries.

However, if you are filing an application in Canada and your status expires before cic makes a decision, then you are still allowed to stay in Canada after your permit expires, until you receive a decision from CIC.

Depends on how long you stayed in these countries...If it was more than 6 months then you have to submit 8 police certificates and this will delay your background checks.
But if you were on vacation, eg a couple of weeks, then it's not a problem or delay.
