my suggested dataset is now live on the government's open data website:

CBSA immigration security screening timeline statistics

http://open.canada.ca/en/suggested-datasets/cbsa-immigration-security-screening-timeline-statistics

http://ouvert.canada.ca/fr/suggested-datasets/statistiques-delais-filtrage-securite-a-limmigration-lasfc

Please thumbs up and leave comments to persuade CBSA to make the data public.

"The suggested dataset works through a system of voting. The more votes a dataset receives, the more it shows that there’s a demand for this data. Comments are a good way to show that there is demand as well. This feedback is forwarded to the department who will let action further.



Both CBSA and IRCC are aware of this suggested dataset now and may also track its popularity. "

Hi friends, I've just received my csis report via mail today. It's dated Sep. 28 and I'd submitted it on Sep. 3rd. I freaked out because I expected to receive it last week on my email. The delay was due to posting it by mail.

I had asked if my security screening is done, and they have replied that it is completed. However, they haven't provided more information about when it is finished and what recommendation/advice they have given to cbsa. I just have a small table saying that it is issued by ankara and cbsa on Dec. 12, 2016, and the priority is P3 and apart from that there are just a few file numbers and that's it.

Have you received similar reports?

Mine mentions the date CSIS received a request from IRCC for security screening and also the date it was completed. In my case it took less than 4 months!

What do you mean you submitted it Sep 3rd? Did you submit to atip website on Sep? I am confused about the processing time they took to issue your report and the postal time the way you explained.
There should be 3 columns first columns says status: completed, client: CBSA, request date: XXXX (that's your SS start date), subclient: IPM Ankara- Turkey
second column says category: PR outside, received: XXXX (SS start date), request type: 1 new request
third column says priority "P3"

There is a second page which has case conclusion section on the top date of request: XXXX (again your ss start date) and recommendation/advice on the bottom which has a issue date XXXX (that is your ss completion date)

This all sounds like CBSA report because CSIS is only 1 page that states when SS was started and completed by CSIS.

I'm waiting for my CBSA report this month..

Yes, I submitted it on atip website for csis on Sep. 3rd. I expected it to arrive 30 calandar days. Which part is confusing to you?
The other descriptions you gave are correct, there are three columns, but I don't have any completion date. It just says when ankara issued it and that the status is complete.

Hallo,
on applicant's side of ecas saw "we started processing your application on ... " . It means, that file is in VO? How long can it last until DM?

Hi Yours was pretty quick Sep 3 to Sep 28th. Mine took from April 18th to June 21st and by the time it arrived by post was end of June.
Is the recommendation/advice section completely blank? What was the SS start date? 12 Dec 2016?
