Hello, everyone,

Help and Guidance needed!!
Security is a process almost every applicant has to go through in their study permit applications. However, how can I check whether I am under CBSA &CSIS security screening from GCMS notes?
Here is the extract from GCMS notes:
"
ASSESSMENTS
Eligibility: Passed
Security: In Progress
HIRV:
Criminality: Passed -Bio
Org Crime:
Medical: Passed
Misrep:
Other Req:
Info Sharing: Complete
Final:
Counterfoil Req: Y

PAPER FILE
Office: Beijing#: S400XXXXX
Location: Security Pending
"
Info sharing has been compeleted.
Can anyone explain it to me what is the meaning of "location: Security Pending"?
no redaction or sec. 15 or 16 found on page 2 of the notes.
No blank officer notes were found on the notes part.

Expert opinions wanted.
Thanks with deep gratitude!!

ps. I have requested CSIS notes. But the result will only after 1.5 months.

Others can comment, but location is when file has to move between different processing centres/offices. Beijing probably is the sole processing office for your application type so even when security is passed, it won't have much relevance.
You'll be lucky to get response from CSIS in 1.5 months. Security very likely would have passed by the time they send you the heavily redacted information.
All you can honestly do is wait. Good luck.

thank you for your mentoring!
I have already submitted a request to CSIS yesterday, but as you said, the response will only arrive in 1.5 months.
But could you please explain "so even when security is passed, it won't have much relevance."? do you mean " security pending" means nothing?
and what is your opinion on the possible duration length of the whole security screening.? IRCC don't have guidelines about how long this process will be.
as far as I know, they will assign a comprehensive check (including CSIS& CBSA) for outland applicants.

My AP submit date: May 30 2024, Biometric: June 5; Activity status updated: Background verification : July 9
Thanks!
