I am! You’re not alone there

Anyone else still stuck with "We will let you know when background check begins." ?

Thank you for replying..I did, in fact, feel alone.

That moment when your GCKEY changes the remaining timeline from 9 weeks to 60 days tho...

Estimated remaining processing time: 59 Day(s)

I don’t know if I feel joy to see that number in days now or frustration that it still not done yet lol.

I got SA on Feb 28 and waiting for update since then. GCKEY says, eligibility review started but no background check.

I called Immigration today and all they would tell me is that they have all the documents (nothing is missing), and that I am still within the 12 month timeline. I guess I don't understand if it takes a few months to complete BGC and they haven't even started mine how I will be done by August 16th (my 12 month mark). I try to put it out of my mind, but that stomach yucky feeling happens. ugh!

They’ve been doing maintenance a lot lately on GCKey, and there’s another notice right now about how it will be down again for maintenance tomorrow. I wonder if people’s files have been moving but the system isn’t always showing it properly. Hoping everyone’s files are moving along — especially anyone who feels like things have just been sitting motionless for a while.

cindyestteacher and anyone else who’s been stuck: go check GCKey, maybe we’ve all moved at once!

When I asked that, the agent said that a lot of background checks go faster, and that sometimes it’s just a few weeks or even a week. It really sucks that it’s so slow to even start, but it’s still possible that it will be done within 12 months.

From your avatar it looks like you’re coming from the US which is supposed to be fast, so that might help?

THANK YOU. I need to hear that. LOL I am the American and my sponsor (Canadian) got married last weekend. I've had immigration out of my mind this whole time with planning the wedding, but now that it is over..that's ALL I can think about. I did upload info about the wedding to the webform last week, though. We were already commonlaw but I thought they might want that info. Good luck, everybody!
