What does “Pending Document Check “ mean? Are they asking me for more information?
Answer summary
'Pending Document Check' indicates that the authorities are currently reviewing the documents you submitted for your visa application. If they require additional information, they will reach out to you. Many expats have shared similar experiences, suggesting that this status typically means your application is in a queue for document verification. Patience is advised as processing times can vary.

I just completed mine at the Vancouver consulate, once I got this message it took a couple of days. The response will probably depend on how quick your trip is coming up.
