They do criminality and eligibility together. Security will not be initiated till eligibility is "Met"

In my case, Eligibility Met but Criminality still in progress and Security didn't start.

(24th April '19) Moreover, I spoke to an agent on Wednesday, she said Eligibility is met and background is yet to begin.

Can someone help me as to what is happening and why is there so much disparity in all the 3 replies?

Mail reply is always common for everyone, so don't trust on it.
Agent reply (on call) is always correct because they check your file and discuss with you.

By review they mean the initial review or it's gone to the never ending review required stage?

Regular review by Sr. Officer, no need to worry. After that BG check, if its not passed.
If you BG is already passed then PPR mail.

How do you guys now current statuses of your eligibility/security/etc? By calling IRCC? Does one have to ask questions about this things specifically or do agents say everything without any additional questions?

I mean, should I simply ask smth like "could you please tell me the detailed status of my application" or do I have to ask about eligibility etc? Never called IRCC before, but now the time has come I think

Directly ask the status of Eligibility, Criminality and Security.
Agent will check it and provide you all the details.

I received an email for landing interview. Does anyone know about this?

Its common, they will ask you one or two common questions and stamp on your passport. No need to worry, almost done!

Hi guys, really excited to share that I received my landing interview email from etobicoke office today. No passport request before this.
They send email directly to me instead of my lawyer, which is new because all previous updates are going through my lawyer.

My final timeline:

Ghost Update: Apri 5th
File approved on April 5th, called IRCC agent to verify. File gets transferred to Montreal after completed.
Raise webform and order GCMS notes on April 25th (my 6th month mark).
Landing interview email: April 29th
Landing interview: May 4th at etobicoke.
CEC Inland
Primary VO: Calgary Secondary VO: Vancouver

Hopefully everybody will get progress soon!

Congratulations!!

4. Security – The last and the final stage is the security. This is a serious & time-consuming stage and is done by Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). Many factors are considered here, such as number of countries visited, applicant country of residence and the political situation there, past law enforcement or military record, prolonged stay in a country with out sufficient documents to prove cause, frequent traveling to certain nations. Upon the completion of the security check by CSIS, the report is submitted to IRCC.

This is ref. to link, even people who do not fall under security criteria still some time they stuck in SS.

Thanks for the information!

Today I called at +16139444000 to check the status of my application.
To my surprise the agent on the phone told me that they are unable to find my application no. as well as UCI in the system.
I m bc pnp applicant. My aor is on 04 Oct 2018.
Can anybody guide me what can I do

Thats not possible, might be agent is new or type wrong no.
Please call again and check your CIC account as well.

Is there any chance of getting some useful information after raising a webform? I thought everybody receives the same template answer like "it's ok, we don't need any documents now, ...". Is there something special one can ask to get some information besides the standard answer?

Sometimes they provide you all the status for eg. Eligibility and BG status. But chances are very less. Its better to call CIC agent and ask all the questions whatever in your mind.

As per agent, criminality is completed. There was no discussion on security check.

Not True. My Criminality is passed and Eligibility hasn't started yet. AOR 9 Sept

In many cases, they start Eligibility and Criminality in parallel.
My Eligibility is already passed but Criminality is in progress and Security didn't start...
I think there is no exact sequence!

Good, One step is done.
Might be Security is in progress or completed. Plz call and ask them.

Calling them is so difficult and many times not helpful.
