Should I just start applying for other jobs? What would you guys do?
It wouldn't harm to start applying again, just in case this offer is eventually taken back (unlikely given you already signed it).
For future situations, I suggest you drop all your other options and interviews only after you get an offer, sign your contract, and the start date arrives; nothing guarantees that the job is bound to happen before that point.

I was unemployed and I got a job offer.
Once I accepted the written offer (by signing it) and the background check cleared, I cancelled all the other interviews that I had lined up. But now it's been a week since the BG check has cleared and they still won't give me a confirmed start date. The job offer says upon successful completion of background check, I would start on a mutually acceptable date. I told them I am ready to join asap.
I was told that I will get a start date by a particular date and now that date also has been pushed. I am getting a little nervous.
