What does “Pending Document Check “ mean? Are they asking me for more information?
Answer summary
'Pending Document Check' means that your visa application is currently under review by the authorities. They are examining the documents you have submitted. If additional information is required, they will reach out to you directly. Generally, applicants reported that this phase can take some time, and it's best to be patient as responses can vary based on individual circumstances.

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.
