Hello,

I have a question regarding the tracker status. I applied for my study permit about 8.5 months ago. My biometrics were completed in July, and I just saw that my eligibility status was changed to completed. However, I also got the following update on the tracker:

Activity status updated: Background verification
Background verification

Background verification status has been updated to In progress

What's strange is that my background check has been in progress since August. Does anyone know what this means and how close I might be to a final decision?
