If i think BGC will finished soon criminality,eligibility,medical, but security takes more time for every applicants.
Becouse security will check by CSIS which takes more times even 1 months 3 months or more than 1 year.

So security screening will done by CSIS ( Canadian Security Intelligence Service ) ? am i right
IRCC conducts background checks by working together with partner agencies, such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Canada Border Services Agency, medical authorities, and agencies of foreign governments

That’s just insane. And this is for a sponsorship application?
I cant remember if it's sponsor or EE. if it's ee, isn't that worse? Their processing time is only 6 months, where sponsors is12 so wouldn't they get priority? More generally, I see 8 months for completion. I think he just got very unlucky :(

May I ask where the principle applicant is from? My husband is Arab, that's why I'm guessing he got sent there. Was just wondering if that's the same case for you?
My husband is from Georgia. Closest VO in Turkey. Ankara started processing his file October 31 and nothing so far. Only that they don’t need interview or any additional docs.
