Can you tell me what was written in your CSIS notes, please? Preferably post a scan here with your details removed.
Main text is this:

CSIS PPU 005 Security Assessments/Advice - Your Security Screening case is still in progress. The information has been exempted from disclosure by virtue of one or more of sections 21 (as it relates to the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities), 22(1)(a) and 22(1)(b) of the Act until your case is completed.

I see.

This is what my one says on first page.

CSIS PPU 005
Security Assessments/Advice- A search of this bank was conducted and no personal information concerning you was located.

Dated 26 June 2018. This was the second set of notes that I had ordered. What do you think is happening? I'm 2 months shy of reaching 1 year mark and why am I not seeing any progress. Do you think it indicates SS?

How I interpret this is that CSIS has finished there part and nothing was found concerning you
What did your first CSIS note mention ?

What do your CBSA notes says with regards to ACTIVITY 1-5 ?

My eligibility is passed and I’m waiting for security clearance. I have been receiving replies from DJM, so I hope my PPR is close. AOR: Nov 2017
Best of luck.. was just wondering if there are any more solid indications from people who already received PPR.

Does anyone else know here how to order CBSA notes ? Not through an external agent but yourself.

Thanks all for sharing info related to replies from London Visa Office. After your valuable input and research on their system, I have come to the following conclusion.

- The 3 Letter abbreviation is a code name of a person who replies and it is generated through their internal system. It changes over time as staff changes and applicants can receive replies from various staff members.
- However, the real thing that needs to be looked is the department from which you receive email.
- If you receive a reply from Immigration and Medical Services Division (IMSD) then your file is probably in a batch that is still not opened or your enquiry is of a nature that requires being dealt in Division 1.
- The Division 2 in Canada House is Client Service Unit (CSU) and they are responsible to deal with general client enquiries and reply with the status they see in their system.
- Division 3 is the Migration Unit (MU) and it where your file is opened and then reply is given from Program Assistants and not the analyst themselves. Background Checks and any other information related to your file is handled here. So, you will probably receive an email from Program Assistant unless it can be dealt by IMSD or CSU.
- Division 4 is Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and I haven't seen any reply from them so far. However, they are responsible for the investigation of Misrepresentation and Frauds.
- Division 5 is the Office for Senior Officers/Directors and here your file is concluded. The replies are mainly provided through MU or IRCC Divisions for Immigrations.

There are other units as well, however, I am unaware of their purposes at the moment.

Finally, another way to see at what stage is your file is to see 5 Levels of File Review:

Level 1: In process or waiting for review
Level 2: Under Review or is in process
Level 3: Awaiting a Final Review
Level 4: Background Check in undergoing
Level 5: File is Approved

I hope this will help. Good Luck to you all.
Hello and thanks for the analysis.. I received a response from DJM stating that my file is in queue pending for review by immigration officer. Any insights about that?

I'm hoping for the same as my last reply back in June was from DJM for the first time. My AOR is May 2017 so I feel that it's about time that I get some good news :)
Hey your ss/ip2 date?

No idea mate as I applied through a solicitor. Albeit, what I know through the last batch of GCMS notes is that my eligibility was passed on 18/12/17 and info sharing results came back on 28/02/18 (took almost 8 months). And I think the security only started on 28/02/18 and hence the long wait.

Guys ! I received response from LVO today and I'm sure now that I'm in SS.

Thank you for your email.

Background checks are currently in process for your application. We are unable to advise when they will be concluded but you should note this is unlikely to be for quite some time yet.

In the meantime, please do not send repeat status requests as we will be unable to respond to them. Your cooperation will be appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Hi even I got the same response few months back ...It actually dosen't mean you are in ss.. It means it will take little longer to work on your file.First find out if you have passed eligibility and your security started via notes.. if your eligibility not started ignore this msg from LBM as you are not in ss for sure.. if eligibility passed and also security started may be there are chances of SS ... But to my knowledge your file is not opened yet.

I had same scenario got my PPR now..
AUG 11,2017 AOR got ppr exactly after a year on AUG 16TH 2018...file was not touched until July 31st 2018.
