GCKEY Background check not applicable?

[Karan071091]

Since you have your pre arrival maybe you will receive your ppr very soon.

I received pre arrival three weeks ago

Anyways, to anyone who has knowledge or idea. I called ircc to ask about eligibility and background status and like before the agent pulled out the file but said cannot see any because it is outland application. She said once verificatiom is donel it will be send back to Sydney for finalization.

I never heard of this before. Is it usually like this? From cpc to local visa office to cpc again?

Thanks for any answer or idea.

Never heard of it but generally pointless to go by background / eligiblity status or call the agents about this. Just a waste of time, it doesn't mean what you think it does, and they change the procedures.

Stop wasting time wondering about what the tracker means, order gcms notes - or just wait.

Yes, I understand. I already ordered gcms notes end of last month but as I understand it takes at least a month or more to received it.

It’s just weird nowadays because when I am calling before agents does not have any problem giving me answer about my file. They just pull the file and answer any questions I have.

Yes, they do. Just be aware, if all they are doing is getting info from a system that provides the same info that you are seeing, they may not know any more, nor what it means. In other words, there are some things on which they can be relied, but sometimes not.

Some have received the same,including me,,

Me too

Maybe she got one of those visa officer who dont bother to update the tracker or gckey. But will just give out preA and ppr.

What is this tracker?

 

[Tt.Tulio]

Yes, I know a friend in the same boat whose BG check didn't change, so this should not be only a software update.
I hope if someone get any further updates, please share with us here. Thank you.

So... I also had my bgc changed to “not applicable”, and I was hoping that it was a good sign. I just called IRCC and they said it changed for a lot of people, but it was a glitch in the system. My Bgc is still processing. It wasn’t what I was hoping to hear.

 

[Tt.Tulio]

Mine too background is not applicable from April 21 even I got pre arrival but after that nothing happen

I just called ircc to ask about the change on bgc and they said it was a glitch in the system. My bgc is still processing

 

[raza321]

It means your bgc has finished

are you sure about that?

 

[cwz]

I got pre arrival but did not ppr

Did you get ppr

Those IRCC Call center agents are very passive, they only tell something if asked specifically and agent saying its glitch for BGC to be N/A could also be easy way out to not tell anything more. Whatever the GCkey indicates whether its NA1/2/3/ or IP1/2 or just processing, it not worth knowing in reality even if the curiosity is high (AF). If application tracker status indicates background completed, then it's completed.

Asking agent what is passed in Application Assessment (Eligibility/Security/Criminality/InfoSharing) is best way to know the application status. BTW I too have BGC in N/A.

How long does it take to process background checks?
My previous application was canceled (missing documents), eligibility was not processed but my background & medical were completed for that application.

EE BC PNP

AOR - 12 March

Medical passed - 11 May

Eligibility completed

Background check - in progress
