My background check status still reads as "we are reviewing your background check" it has been like that for around 3 months (i dont know the exact date), even before they asked for my PCC. This could suggest that they started the security checks as mentioned in other posts a while ago, and then later requested my PCC.

Your status change means that Immigration Officer actually opened up file ( = your file is being worked upon) , reviewed additional document and changed status after confirming that document is as per his/her expectation.
