Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check-March AOR 2021

Hey guys, is the case of any of you with this Background Check status complex in any way?
For me it is pretty simple:
- Bachelor degree in Canada
- Travel only US and Europe (where I come from)
- around 1.5 years of experience at one job immediately after graduation

I think mine is complex,
Master's degree in canada.
Inland with 1 dependent.
2.5 years experience 2 employers.
I visited 6 different countries multiple times including Europe, US and India for work and leisure.

So, did it change from "your application in progress to we are processing".
Did you call ircc to verify on what stages have been completed ?

yes it did.

I tried calling IRCC call centre today but unfortunately I couldn't get through to them. The wait is horrendous tho

In that case, we are quite interested to know what IRCC agent says to you about the progress then (especially the status of Security)

To be honest I would take what the IRCC agent say with a grain of salt. I've read multiple posts highlighting the discrepancies between what the IRCC agent says and the actual process itself.

Oh yes , certainly. But, more often than not, they are correct GSMC notes is the best source of truth here but takes forever to arrive…

I think I should be getting my GCMS notes in about a week now. Its been very long since I applied. Maybe that'll shed some light on the process

You may get COPR before getting GCMS notes as your background check status already changed from your application is in progress to we are processing. Do you know how long it took to change it back to We are processing? I really appreciate your help!

You can use the call back option. It will ask if you don't want to wait and want to request call back then you can just press 1

@casualgamer also had the same background check status and it changed to we are processing. I found many people whose background check status is updated to in progress.
