I do not think the timeframe part is still valid ... most people in SS will take 10months +, only a few will be like 4 months(very small portion). never heard of anyone talked about less than 4 months(including on those immtracking system)
actually no one can tell exact numbers because no statistics shared by CBSA or IRCC

yes, thats why I browsed people's postings. and get a sens of how long it is gonna take. 10-12m should be most cases.
I’m sharing these threads to help members to understand better what actually happened with thier applications regardless the estimation timeline . At least they know why they are waiting more than usual and by ordering ATIP from IRCC,CBSA and CSIS maybe somebody will notice thier application and make some movement

I have a question. If GCMS notes say Eligibility Passed, do you think the status could be reversed later on?
Mine was as follows:
Eligibility: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed- (expired)
Security:
(blank)

I am in the same situation and think I am in SS. (AOR July 2018). Last update on my file was in April 2018 ADR.

I think you are undergoing security as well (which is why it is blank). Whenever the security is cleared they will send a remedical request or extend your medicals and issue a passport request.

Only thing if CSIS discover threats while doing thier security screening they’ll mention it to IRCC then it’s up to them to decide either approve your PR or refuse

I carefully read the note I got yesterday, I cannot find any negative (or even neutral) comments in the whole notes(especially on VO's note section. YES, all used the word "satisfied"). But still in SS now.

This is long wait, will need so much patience.

Finger Crossed.

Well that's highly unlikely :p
Just worried about eligibility because they rejecting one of the work experiences, which leaves only 2yrs 11months and 14 days of job experience behind. Just confused what to do next. Should I send them another employlent's record or just sit back, relax, wait and see

I ordered CBSA notes on gcmsbuddy. It is said that it takes about 50 days to receive 'em, for me it was like 40-45 days.
Did you get any extra information from CBSA notes? I am wondering if I should order it. My GCMS notes were useless. I have been under background check since Feb 2019 :(

I am inside Canada. How can I order it myself without a third party involved?
