Mine is in progress as well. Unfortunately I was a victim of this process so called comprehensive security screening during my pr application as well. It’s discriminatory and without a reason. It will affect processing time significantly. CSIS send a report to CBSA and CBSA has to send the final verification to IRCC. Before covid csis could send the report in a couple of months and the big issue was cbsa delays. My background is simple lived in canada around 10 years, studied and worked. So all my past background is here. Also, I do have 10 year federal clearance because of my job and still after a year ircc couldn’t verified my background?? I have requested atip notes from ircc and csis and waiting to see the outcome.Hi Sept 2020 friends. In the new platform, my background check says In Progress. From GCMS not I received last month, I think RCMP and criminality checks are done (so no FP needed). It is CSIS screening which is ongoing and holding the background check In Progress I think. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
will test invitation come only after background check is completed? Myfile is still in Sydney. I think the file stays there until CSIS is done and background check is completed, then it will be transferred to local office and then the test. Is this correct?
l’ve seen sometimes CBSA is involved in screening as well. But I don’t see CBSA in my GCMS note, does it mean CBSA step won’t be needed? Or they can add it to note in future? It seems when they start processing the application they add all needed steps in the note.
Your feedback and answers to my questions would be highly appreciated. I’m going to request GCMS note from CSIS.
