Dear client,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Please be advised that the application is currently undergoing standard background checks. All applicants applying for temporary or permanent entry into Canada are subject to background checks, which are essential to the integrity of IRCC’s programs and help to maintain public confidence in the immigration system. We cannot estimate when an application undergoing backgrounds checks will be finalized, but interested parties can rest assured that as soon as the review is completed, we will proceed with the next processing steps. IRCC will contact applicants directly, or through their authorized representative, if anything further is required from them at any time.
If the applicant does not wish to wait for the completion of the background checks, they may request that their application be withdrawn by sending a withdrawal request to our office using the IRCC Web form - Canada.ca. Please send your enquiries via IRCC Webform (cic.gc.ca). Yours sincerely
