You are not just under SS but probably Comprehensive SS. That being said, my CSS also stared in Feb 2019 and as per current trends CSS is taking 4-6 months for Biometrics applicants.

Good luck to all of us waiting for their answer
Reply to what?...
I don't believe there was any initial written inquiry from the applicant which would trigger a reply as you say.
Many have received this email letting them know the processing will be longer and are actually in SS as we speak. It may indeed be something else... but it's a clue.
trend has changed... this is old timeline not applicable for biometrics applicants.
Do you mean that if one was requested to give biometrics, his/her comprehensive security screening will go faster? My security started in the beginning of April, everything points to in-depth SS. I'm a biometric applicant however.
Yes indeed. Biometrics applicants are reporting faster processing of their Comprehensive SS. Trends have changed although they are still being observed since not much time has passed since the implementation of biometrics but most biometrics applicants are reporting ppr in their 5th or 6th month of Comprehensive SS.
Guys I have crossed 9th month still with no progress... just the medicals passed. Have ordered GCMS notes once, did submitted required docs one month back... still no change, BC not started yet. Raised web form, Called 4 times, all they ask is to wait.. Is there any thing else which can be done??? Would appreciate valuable suggestions...
You’re not alone. September 3/2018 Aor CEC inland applicant. Still waiting for final decision. All they are saying is that we don’t need any more details from you and you have to wait until we make a decision.
Yes, biometrics applicants are processed much faster. I have also noticed many biometrics applicants reported to have had their security screening completed within 6 months. The fastest case I have seen was 4 months.
Go live your life. Maybe they will make a decision by the time you have grandkids and they will live the Canadian life you dreamed off

There is no old timeline or new timeline when it comes to SS.
SS goes way deeper than just comparing your biometrics with international databases. That's at simple "Criminality" stage, among other things.
SS implies digging through all your potential connections with any suspicious activity.
For example, if you've been working in a company known for money laundering or fraud, you'd most likely fall into SS and be looked into to make sure you were not involved, and no amount of crystal clear biometrics will make it go any faster.
Another example is suspicion of misrepresentation. Contacts happen between different relevant authorities, and that can take a lot of time.
Yes, biometrics can be helpful to differentiate you with someone with the same name during the investigation and could make the process go faster than 6-12 months depending on the reason for SS, but it could also go much slower, as biometrics don't necessarily come into play in this phase.
Security screening is exactly what it means...
"Timeline not applicable for biometrics applicant"?... Everyone is subject to biometrics now.
SS takes a long time to clear... biometrics or not.
