No I selected IRCC

Ah that's the process for ordering regular GCMS notes. Thought you had already ordered those before, but if you haven't, that should be your first step. Choose "1. Status update of file/reasons for refusal and officers electronic notes" and you can choose the option that is free.

The CSIS ones you do have to pay $5 for, but you can wait until you get your GCMS notes and then see if you still need the CSIS ones

What do the CSIS notes usually show? Have you ordered those?

Recommended mostly for people who are stuck in security screening and GCMS notes does not reveal anything aside from a background check that has been in progress for a long time. The CSIS notes will show if they are doing a screening of you and if it's in progress or completed.

See these threads about someone whose security screening appeared to pending for 9 months in GCMS notes due to screening by CSIS, but it turned out that the security screening request had not actually been sent out by IRCC due to a system glitch, and this person found out about it after making an ATIP request to CSIS:

I requested for CSIS and they confirmed my security screening is still processing, not date received or timeline was disclosed so I guess my file is just there and no one cares

No. Normal processing. I believe for most of the people SCR office sends certificates next working day. But regular mail, it took a week to deliver.

 

[citizentest21]

Hey, anyone had their tracker updated for oath citizenship a week before the scheduled date? When do you receive the email instructions?
