Hi,
I submitted an express entry (CEC) application on Sep 15, 2020 and still awaiting update on the application.
Recently I raised a web form asking for updates and stage of my application.
This was IRCC's reply:
"We verified the information on file and can confirm that:
1. Does that mean I am already past eligibility review stage?
2. Does anyone know about the background verification process?- as per above I am assuming there are 2 stages for background verification- criminal record check on the basis of information provided by us i.e PCC (might include cross checking) & security screening from CBSA (to know if the person is marked as dangerous to the society and is under watch by CBSA)
Please answer.

"We verified the information on file and can confirm that:
- The background verifications are in process.
 - The security background verification has not been initiated.
 - The criminal background verification is currently valid."
