I applied for Citizenship May last year. My application is still in process. As per IRCC, it is pending security screening. I ordered GCM note in Nov, criminality passed, but security section is blank. Any idea when I this can be completed, any experience? Thanks!

To figure out , u will have to apply for GCMS notes and it will take 1 month to get it OR u can call the IRCC and ask them directly they will tell you right away.

check the last pages of your gcms notes , u will find general notes if u find a note with ( label: adm) it mean’s admissibility. this will refer to to the starting date for your security check
Thanks for your response. I have 17 notes in my GCM note, none of them is for (label:adm).

CEC Inland in security since june 2023
CSIS check completed since may 2024, waiting for CBSA
Anyone else with the same timeline?
How long after CSIS will CBSA take to complete?
I think outland applicants' security checks are processed faster compared to inland applicants. Am I correct?
Thank you!

Every case is different regardless of being outland or inland! It all depends on the complexity and most importantly the third party agencies can take a long time to respond to CBSA which is completely out of the hands of IRCC!
