My Background has been 'in progress' since the beginning
I just got, today (16 SEP) a ghost update and my background check is now: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
What would you read from this ? @legalfalcon this is the first time i tag you.. and i hope i'm not being a bother ^^ would love to hear your insight
During the processing of your application your BGC status on your MyCIC account will change twice. Once early in the processing when your criminality is done, and then will go to Not applicable and then again in progress when your security is in progress.
The wordings of the in progress BGC is different during both the times.
BGC = Criminality + Security.
Criminality is passed along with R10 early in the processing, where as the security only starts after your eligibility is passed.
@legalfalcon My medical got passed yesterday and I was asked to fill the form IMM 5475 form and respond in 7days. How do I know the location/office where my file was submitted to please? I am trying to fill the form now

The eligibility takes place in two stages. First an analyst or an assistant will review and make a recommendation. This can be recommended passed / Met / etc. This recommendation is then reviewed by an officer who makes a final determination. The terminology used such as met / recommended passed / passed an no relevance. Only after the eligibility is passed will security start.
I would say that you should get rcmp certificate even if you don't have a very common name. Who knows why they choose to ask some or do not choose to ask some—could depend on the particular person processing your file too.
In case you are asked, then you have it ready. It costs $50 to obtain and saves about 3 weeks of time on your processing. To me, that money is well spent if they ask, but not a huge loss if they don't ask for it. Even though they did not ask me, only my spouse—I still sent mine along as well as I already had it.
some clarification, agent confirmed that it went through recommend pass, confirmed pass, and security/criminality should be starting imminently in CPC Ottawa. Good luck to everyone!
