Good day folks,
I've noticed that many people get stuck and encounter difficulties with security screening, yet they often don't discuss their future experiences. Have any of you encountered someone who successfully bypassed and got rid of security screening/background verification? Sharing your insights and experience regarding the final results/procedure/timeline would be helpful and greatly appreciated.

Hi I believe I am also a victim of comprehensive security screening. Can you help me confirm it?

Have you asked for IRCC, CBSA, and CSIS notes?

Hi there,

I got my GCMS notes, which clearly stated that I`m under Comprehensive security — section A34. Security started two months ago, but as I found on different forums, it can take years...

Any updates folks?

3 month is fast even for very low risk applicants from countries that share information with Canada. There is a wait before your application actually begins the background process.
after 2 months I'll have my 1 year experience, and I might be eligible for CEC, is it okay if I created a new Express entry profile and waited for an ITA under CEC ?
I heard people saying that CEC application might process faster.
do you have any insights about that ?

You can create s profile if you are eligible for any other streams. By the way you get eligible for CEC when you have 11 months, that is, you can create a profile at that time.

My background verification started in Nov last year, and there were no updates since then. I did not know when comprehensive SS started. GCMS said SS is in progress by CBSA.
