Any or Iranian guys has experience getting stuck in Security check process?
I am not sure security check started after eligibility completed or it was in progress since application submitted?!
Security can take a very long time. It involves immigration checks (can be longer if not in Iran) and then checking all your documents for authenticity like bank statements.

So you mean if it takes months, still when they check my bank statement, I must show the same fund in bank which i submitted three months ago?! Or they will only authenticate validity of bank statement which i submitted before?

Security can take a long time depending country of citizenship, where you live now and where you have lived in the past. It is not about the amount of funds in the bank, it is whether the documents are authentic and not fake. If Canada doesn’t have a relationship with a country (embassy, consular staff) then it can be longer to get immigration, passport, documents verified and authenticated.

It is not unusual for it to take 3-6 months to get the result of a TRV application from Iran. Due to the lack of information sharing, risk of people trying to remain in Canada, etc. it can take a long time to get the results of a TRV application especially for the first TRV. All you can do is wait unless your wait times is significantly longer than others who have applied for TRVs from Iran.

Depends on volume of application but also whether the other country shares information with Canada for example.
