Not me. I'm still in background check since Feb 2024. Applied in November 2023.

I, personally, don’t mind the extra checks and I may understand why they’re tied to my nationality. What I do mind is an absolute lack of feedback and any deadlines whatsoever. How can the screening be? A year? A two? Why aren’t there any protocols to regulate this?

That's the right answer.

12-16 months on average.

My last update was on April 11th with background check the only one still being in progress. There's nothing I can do at this point since they claim that security screening is outsourced to 3rd parties. Once a year passes I'll probably file a writ of mandamus.

How do you guys reach them? Last time I called I got an automated response saying all agents are bust, and it just hung up...

Background check still in progress: undergoing CBSA and CSIS screening.

Request CSIS and CBSA notes to verify if you're undergoing comprehensive security screening.

Same thing, but only the background check is still in process. Chances are we're undergoing comprehensive security screening.

Got everything completed except for background verification. GCMS notes show criminality has passed, but the security section is empty. I guess my file fell under enhanced security screening, which sucks balls.

Fucking background verification is still in progress. Wow. How do I get my taxes back?

Yeah, lots of people are.

Had everything completed on April 9th except BG - Vancouver office.

I've only had my test passed Feb 2nd, the rest is all in progress. Not sure why it's so slow, but I do travel abroad once or twice a year.
