my application has come to a complete standstill.

I called IRCC today and the security hasnt even started yet. this is the same status since start of the October. I dont know whats the hold up for. I contacted the MPP but his office just provided me with the same updates. I dont know what to do at this stage.

I lived in USA more than 6 months 13 years ago when I was more than 18 years old. This is not included In the personal history as it is older than 10 years ago. i believe police certificate is required in this situation. After including the police certificate should I include an explanation letter to explain when I lived in US? I want to avoid a potential misunderstanding.

Yes this is normal security check . Your GCMS notes won’t show anything regarding security screening. Best option is to order CBSA notes .
How security screening works, It depends on the IRCC officer if he wants to send you for a security screening due to your application hitting one of the indicators in their system
so they sent you for a security check, first, your files go to CBSA and then CBSA sends it to CSIS, once CSIS confirms your security is concluded and the file has been returned to CBSA, now your file is with CBSA, your gcms notes will start showing security in progress by CBSA, and once CBSA did their part they will send your file back to IRCC and then IRCC officer will make a decision.

so in easy words IRCC=>CBSA=>CSIS
IRCC<=CBSA<=CSIS

Hi @Miss bee

I received my CBSA notes recently and I see that the Sponsorship is Family Class and Refugee.
Also the HC-CDA Triage is REFUGEE.
Where as I have a Provencial nomination of Employe Job Offer also at the bottom of the CBSA notes I see Case Type as Economic Case, Schedule 4 on file: Yes
I am certainly not a refugee and never applied for any refugee status and I am not sure why is this mentioned - Should I reach out to IRCC to correct this?

One more thing mentioned is that the Biometrics is of poor quality, even though I have given my Biometrics twice.

Also what is Category: PV2
What section of these notes could give me a indication of the reason for this prolonged security check.

My application for PR was filed in the first week of Dec 2023, its been exactly 12 months and there is no end in sight - please help out.

For work permit extension, they are asking for photo as well to upload.

Order CBSA notes and see actual status of your security. GCMS notes doesn’t have any update or information regarding security.

Yes you were required to include this information in Schedule A and Travel history form . You should apply from FBI and send it to IRCC.

It is concerning to see incorrect classifications like “Family Class and Refugee” in your CBSA notes, especially since you applied under a Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) for economic immigration. While errors in case notes don’t always mean errors in processing, it’s important to address them to avoid unnecessary delays or confusion. You can raise a webform inquiry with IRCC to request clarification and correction of the “Refugee” classification, providing them with your PNP nomination details as evidence.
Regarding the biometrics, the “poor quality” note suggests the system flagged issues with your biometrics scans, potentially affecting security clearance. You can request IRCC to confirm whether re-submission of biometrics is required to resolve this issue.
The category “PV2” likely indicates the internal risk assessment level assigned to your application during security screening. PV2 implies a higher level of scrutiny, often leading to prolonged checks, though it doesn’t necessarily mean anything negative about your application. To understand the reason for the extended security screening, you should closely examine sections like “Security Screening,” “Admissibility,” and “Notes” in the CBSA report. These sections often provide insight into whether additional verification or risk assessment is causing the delay.

Yes you should upload pic for work permit. Requirement for work permit pic is same as you used for PR application.

Thanks Miss Bee. the IRCC agent said security hasnt even started yet. Should i still order CBSA notes or wait for a later time when IRCC says security has begun

You should wait . Security takes time . There is no way to fasten this stage in your application. Best is to wait and hope for best .

Hi Miss bee, thank you very much for your reply. I will include the police report to the application then. Just to clarify:
- should I include this information to schedule a and travel history even though it was 13 years ago?
- if i need to include it, do i need to include also every other travel/address between 13 years ago and 10years ago? (So that there are no gaps in time)

Yes it’s too early to expect anything. Wait for few more weeks and you might get any updates. Most updates comes after 2-3 months after AOR.
