Ive got a reply from MP and it says
" background check are still pending."
My eligibility/ criminality -in process
Security/ medical - not started
This is what i got on my GCMS notes
So now does background means security or criminality

Is that all your MP said ?

Email them back and ask if your review is over ? If that is cleared i think your background check should be over soon and you should get the medical request

Thats what I am assuming. Because if you were still in queue for review .. thats what the reply would have been to you MP.

I am giving an opinion from my understanding only. May be you should email CIC directly asking for an update and see what they say. I emailed them today as well.

Ya if it was still under review then it would have said the same
Instead of background

check your gcms notes; is your file with office RC-9515??? I guess its the office responsible for doing security checks; if not then they would be doing documents verification,

Your eligibility is still in process? Do u know why they are taking so long? Any thing mentioned in previous GCMS reason for under review ?

Hi Richi,

don't worry I am sure you passed eligibility and criminality because the Background check is last part of process.
I think in your case the officer decided to get your background check before send MR.
The background check is last process and in this part they are going to check your background. Which information you wrote in your application for example ( your employer in your back home, your traveling history and completed military service).
The process time is different case by case. It depends to some factors such as your nationality.
And also if they find your name same as some terrorist it be will longer, because they are going to check more about you.
So be relax and wait. Just check your GCMS file and see when your background check process started.
The normal processing time is between 3 to 6 months.
If you have any question Please let me know I am in same situation and I spoke about that with my officer.

Just let me know where are you from?
