Yes I am referring to Oct 2018. The reason why I am saying that is after 1 year of extra processing, you are liable for putting up case for mandamus. Usually CIC wants to avoid it.

What is this "case for mandamus" term?

Yeah I think I'm in the similar boat as I ordered CSIS notes first thinking that if I'm under SS they'll definitely have my file. But then they replied after 40 odd days with a letter stating that they don't have any record of my file. I then subsequently ended up ordering CBSA and also GCMS notes to figure out what's going on.

Ah and also I've read in other forums that CBSA normally don't release notes if CSIS is carrying out SS.

The case for mandamus is a court term where you can register a case against CIC if the processing time of your application crosses a certain limit. usually that limit is 18 months or more. It is a very costly process so if you are really thinking about this then you have to have to be very careful financially.

I think SS starts from date of your IP2 and NOT the date when its received by CBSA or is in progress by CBSA.
@legalfalcon can you pls confirm?

Since the application is filed electronically, the transfer also happens electronically. So the date on which the security starts, is usually also the date when the file is transferred too CBSA and CSIS. After CSIS concludes its involvement, they will send the report to CBSA, who in turn will compile the final report and send it to IRCC.
Only a few application get stuck in enchanted security.

@legalfalcon is it true that if your eligibility, medical and criminality are “Pass”, while your security is in progress (IP2) you’re probably in SS? Heard this rumour somewhere on the forum. I’m ip2 since august 08, London VO.

Did you order gcms notes ? That can indicate the status of your application. If you heard the rumour I hope you heard that IP1 and IP2 is not and official terminology of the IRCC

Hi! Yes I ordered yesterday so will take a month to receive the notes. That’s true - Ip1 & 2 aren’t official terms.

Yes that’s correct, just wait for the notes to come...

The bad luck is that London VO is notoriously slow wrt processing of applications

Not true. All applications go through security. Only some get stuck in enhanced security. If its been 2 months and your eligibility is passed (not IP2, as there is no IP or IP2.) then you may be in SS.

Thank you. Appreciate your reply. Eligibility passed earlier this month & I just touched 4 months so I should wait patiently

Hi Legafalcon,

My AOR april 29. 2018 and eligibility, criminality and others passed on May 30 2018 except Security. I think i m most like chosen for SS. is that most of the SS will complete 4-6 months from the date the SS was initiated ?

Thanks

You know what, my last GCMS notes were generated in May 2018 and I still had those 1-4 Activities. I was so disgusted with the progress that I did not order notes after that. But you are right as soon as CSIS first completes its process you will see Activity 5 in your notes and finally when CBSA does it it show Activity 6.

Hi, in my first GCMS notes ordered on May 30 2018. it shows Activity 1-3 retracted and activity 4 says security. My second notes ordered on July 26 2018 Shows one more retracted activity, which now is Activity 1-4 retracted and activity 5 says security. it that what you said CSIS completed its process ?
