Hi ! I’m also inland and applied last July (non express entry) my comprehensive security screening started last December 2023, still waiting. As I see in general it takes for comprehensive security 9-13 months to be done. Hope it won’t take longer.

The same timeline with you. Application submitted on June 30 2023 and be put into security check since January 2024.

Hi everyone, I applied in July 2023. Single inland applicant, spouse is a citizen. Biometrics, medical and eligibility are all complete in the tracker since Oct 2023 and background check is in progress. Got ADR in Dec 2023 and application was sent to CBSA the same month. I'm also in A34 security screening with no military or political background. My first CBSA note said "Received" with a due date in Oct 2024. The second CBSA note shows a changed status to "In Progress", with a status update date of May 2024 and a due date of Jan 2024 which doesn't make any sense. I know from this thread that these dates don't mean much, but any idea why? I've been stuck for more than 9 months and IRCC has not been helpful, the same as everyone else on this thread. It's very disappointing to see this and feels unfair. Any idea when I can expect my security to complete? Should I consider Mandamus?

You should talk to a competent lawyer. Recommended timeline for considering Mandamus is 18 months from AOR.
