2020 applicants with Background verification- In Progress

[royce110]

I hope you get your citizenship by November and don't have to connect with your MP.

Thanks I wish you the same, its literally no value add to contact your MP when IRCC gives generic responses such as these.

April 23rd is probably when the new dashboard went live so that date isn't significant and isn't related to any actual updates done on our application. Most applicants saw this date on the status dashboard AFAIK.

Yep. On that date, after nothing happening for almost 1.5 years, suddenly (and due to IRCC's extraordinarily hard work) nearly everything went to "in progress".

Detailed BC is not random for sure. Immigtation Control Manual (IC 2) has all the indicators that trigger comprehensive BC. I tried to find this document but seems not available on the web.

Guess you are referring to the documents I've linked in this post?

The IC manual wasn't easy to find, had to do some deep digging. The copy I found was (obviously) a redacted version that someone had previously obtained via an ATIP request.

It wouldn't be the worst idea to send a Corporate Records request to CBSA to obtain the latest copy of this document and see if anything has changed. I mean, security procedures might be routinely updated.

So does it give details about the BG issues that we are discussing here or nothing!?

Nothing new about the BG. I didn't have any issues with BG checks so there isn't anything new in the CBSA notes for me in that section. It is a 6 page format (possibly a new format of the GCMS notes).

Wtf! I called Ircc few days back to see if there was any update on my application. The agent was like I will place your call on a brief hold, comes back after 5 seconds and goes off like "Oh, I see you call us frequently,(once month or probably less) you don't need to call us that often. You can check your status online and if we need anything we will definitely contact you"
To which I replied her that as per online tracker I was sent AOR twice once in Nov and Jan 2020 but I never received any email from Ircc so I call periodically. After listening to what I had to say she replied "Thank-you for calling IRCC, hope I have answered all your queries"then hangs up.
Didn't even provide any update or anything what a bitch! I was on hold for 30 minutes prior to which I called like 20-25 times.
Complete waste of time.

Unbelievable but believable at the same time, they call centre agents are absolutely inefficient. They have given contradictory information to so many of us in the forum here regarding our files.

Need info pls
My criminality check is pending due to fingerprints (found it from my first gcms notes). I haven’t received the fingerprints request yet. So I submitted a webform asking if fingerprints are needed. On my second gcms notes,it mentions that an email was sent to Vancouver CIC in first week of June 2021, asking them to send me a letter requesting my fingerprints.
Does anyone know how long it would take to get the request?? Or anyone is similar situation??

I think people who have received fp from the raincouver office can share the email add so that you can inquire.
