The day I for SA, mid of Feb.
Mid of May Criminality was in progress, security not started.
Waiting...

Yes, i think the criminality has just started in my application. It is being processed in CPC-M for the time being so i would expect some of the background to be processed here.

Criminality is a part of BGC

This morning my bg processing changed from we will send a message when we start processing your application to we are processing you application we will contact you if we need more information. Does this mean that the background check had begun? No change in ecas or not even a ghost update in GcKey. Just a random change in this line item in GcKey.

yes, the same happened to me on June 4. The BGC started on your case.

I really do hope that this is the case, but i think we are still not close to the PPR. Primarily because we haven't done the biometrics yet and there have been cases where this status has been there for long time. Obviously each case is different, i want nothing more than this ordeal to be done, but i think we still way a little more distance to go. I sincerely hope all of us have some answers soon.

that is not the case. The BGC just started, but it could be done quickly for you. For my case, it was almost 2 months and not complete yet.

Background they begin after criminal and security checks are complete. if they dont request for any additional documents or you dont have to attend an interview its al lgood then

BGC include criminal and security check.

I agree with you. I really dont think ppr is that close by to me. However, it would be great if it is.

Update: I just received the Biometrics letter and also have been requested to attend an interview at Ankara VO in September.

hi newbie here, any update september 2018 applicants medical passed until now i didnt received any update:-(

The applicant received an additional docs request from Sydney last night.
(Dec. 12 UK applicant with no file transfer yet)

His passport was expiring, so after we sent his initial app off he got a new passport. As soon as he received his new passport we updated it with CIC via web form. Apparently they didn’t receive it, because the additional doc request was for a copy of a new passport, valid 1 year after issuing the visa. Anyway, we uploaded it today to his myCIC account so fingers crossed it’s ready for transfer. But good they’re looking at it? Or maybe this will slow it down?

After uploading a document, how long until it shows in GCKey that they received it?

Update - I got DM on ecas. No update on GCKey. Called IRCC and confirmed that application is approved. Awaiting PPR. Hope all of us hear good news.

Hi all,

Quick question for you experts. I am a US citizen applying for PR through spousal sponsorship. We are applying from Australia as I am doing a graduate program at a University here. I have arranged and am planning on doing a curriculum internship (unpaid) in Vancouver and am wondering if anyone knows if I can apply for a visa while awaiting the decision on the PR application. I have entered into the IEC pool for Young Professionals, but unsure if that will go through in time.

Any info will help, thanks!
