Many thanks for your advice and sincere care.

The thing is they took 5 whole months just to review eligibility, after which in mid may they sent asking for sch.A & my cv, 2 days later my bg went ip, security then started end of may.

This much I knew from calling them, what extra info will I find in the notes?
Actually its just an observation borne out of anything but 'sincere care'! (i am on forum these days for finding people who are on security screening like me).notes are crap after a point. but very useful for determination of basic things such as A11,2 recommendation and final decision. Secondly they can tell you if you are under security screening.

In that case it won't add anything since I know about all this from their call centre

bro cmon - you have travelled around the world, you would know they will do racial profiling... just look at how people of different nationalities are treated at airports going through security and immigration lol... i'm not blaming them - i'm just saying that it happens, and unfortunately you just have to live with it... just the world we live in now... :mad:

I thought having a "process" eliminates human factors... oh well....

Still here, waiting... It's been about 6 weeks since I submitted a CSE to visa office, no one replied yet. I sent them an email last week, nothing. They don't accept calls from applicants. Should I raise another webform, or wait? Do they have some kind of procedure that they have to respond to CSE at some point?

I'm exactly in the same situation! I think it has to do with our nationality and travel history.
I have been living in UAE since 12 years, and UAE is considered one of the safest countries in the world! My travel history is to home country to visit family..there is nothing complex. The only thing I could think of is my nationality...

I think the best thing is to order GCMS and know how your application is being processed. if you get to know how your application is being processed, you will undertstand why its taking long time.
For me, GCMS showed my application was kept on hold from 07 January till 17 May to clear R10. They were waiting for response regarding my PCC. Then application transfered to LVO and currently stuck in background checks.
CSE is good tool coz an agent will look at the application and if there is something to be done by IRCC, it will be initiated. so no harm in doing it, but dont expect a quick reply.

I already ordered 2 sets of notes, it showed security screening, and then some verification activities after that, some people say it's only quality assurance, some say it's the last step, I don't really know since a lot of it was redacted. I guess I will just wait for the response another month or so, then I will order another set of notes.
