What does it mean when your background status changes from not applicable to we are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need something.

I have stuck in security screening and in sept got ADR for PCC and Schedule A.

Hi,
Please this morning I've got my CBSA notes, and the status of SS still the same " received by CBSA" for 5 months now.
So what means that? The process with CSIS not yet completed and the CBSA waiting for results of c-check?
When CBSA received the results the status will change to " in progress with CBSA" ???
I ordered CSIS but not received yet

Unfortunately, you have to wait for CSIS notes for better clarity. The comprehensive security checks can very much take well over year - 18 months!

Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking. There are people who started on SS in June 2023 and they are still on SS, and just two weeks ago, someone was approved whose SS started in August 2023. My SS is still in progress, even though it started in August 2023.

I don't think that it's a first come first served basis. It mostly depends on the info sharing and the replies from partners while doing a security check.
