Thanks! I got my eligibility passed on 22 Jan 2025.
Oh, I thought it could have been way before and CSIS was already done with your application. It does seem unusual that it’s already In progress by CBSA: normally it starts with Submit, then Received by CBSA while CSIS does their assessment, and then it goes to In Progress by CBSA.

I do personally find my case pretty weird, as it has two security updates one that says security is passed and second one that puts security into compehensive check, I do not know if that is normal, but when I try to google it I really cannot find anything.

Below is what I have from my notes (name and uci removed):

From what I know, a regular record check is done by CSIS, that’s what probably happened with SECURITY:2. However, the agent could have found an indicator to send it to A34 but given that CSIS portion was already done, it was sent directly to CBSA who don’t need to wait for CSIS for their report. Just my interpretation of this!

Thank you for looking into it!
