The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

[legalfalcon]

Do you know what's the mean for S21 and S26?

S21 refers to section 21 of the Access to information Act, which states:

21 (1) The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act that contains
(a) advice or recommendations developed by or for a government institution or a minister of the Crown,
(b) an account of consultations or deliberations in which directors, officers or employees of a government institution, a minister of the Crown or the staff of a minister participate,
(c) positions or plans developed for the purpose of negotiations carried on or to be carried on by or on behalf of the Government of Canada and considerations relating thereto, or
(d) plans relating to the management of personnel or the administration of a government institution that have not yet been put into operation,

S 26, refers to section 26 of the Access to information act, which states:

26 The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any record requested under this Act or any part thereof if the head of the institution believes on reasonable grounds that the material in the record or part thereof will be published by a government institution, agent of the Government of Canada or minister of the Crown within ninety days after the request is made or within such further period of time as may be necessary for printing or translating the material for the purpose of printing it.

Guys do we have any SS statistics?
It looks like SS never takes less than 9 months these days, do you know anyone who completed SS in 3 or 6 months recently?

It means that an officer is yet to review the document or a BGC report received from CSIS, and after the officer reviews it, the same will be updated on your file and your file will move ahead.

Unfortunately, you cannot do anything much at this stage, except wait and order GCMS. When you order GCMS, an officer has to review your file before releasing it and if there is a report which has not been updated, it may be updated. Does not always happen, but I have seen cases where it helped.

But my mp said gcms notes delay the process... yo just wait for it..

Well, where is the law. GCMS notes are issued under the Access to information Act, and the application is processed by IRCC, which are two different departments. Moreover, the files are stored electronically, not on paper that it will be transferred to another location.

Ordering it or now is your choice, not necessary.

This post should be Pinned

Thank you very much, really informed, well organized and deserved to be pinned. One question is there is any difference between regular security check and " security screening". What I mean is when I see " security screening " in the notes should I prepare myself for the long wait or is still possible to get something within couple of months.
