I feel you! Ugh this is definitely a tough mental battle! Staying hopeful when all the signs point otherwise is not easy. I am hopeful for others, not for myself for the same reasons!! lol But to not lose our sanity, we have no choice but to try to stay hopeful :confused:

Don't lose hope! Your turn will definitely come soon!! As you know there is absolutely no order in how IRCC does anything. So for all we know this update could mean nothing and there is a chance that you will get your citizenship before anyone with these updates!! lol

Ohhh this is fantastic!!! Hopefully this long journey comes to an end for you very very soon :D This is definitely a good sign!

That is what I was thinking too! I had no updates for almost 1.5 years. They had so much time to update the language skills but did it JUST NOW! So it must mean something! Let's just hope for the best :)

Guys!! I just got an update after waiting since July 2023. The language skills is now completed!! But the security clearance is still in progress :D I thought they won't work on my application until background check is completed. I guess I was wrong? OR it is completed but they haven't updated...

Oh congratulations!! This makes me really happy :) There is hope for us after all! :D

Yes. Twice. They are useless. They only say your background check is in process and that they cannot disclose any further information.

Yes there are many of us :)

I am not sure if it is 14-16 months anymore. I just passed 16 months and I am still waiting :)

Hi, I have applied for CSIS notes twice in the past. In both cases they have provided a PDF saying that it is in progress and that they cannot disclose more information. The only use case for CSIS notes in my opinion is just to confirm that they are indeed working on your security clearance.

Hi Folks, Has anyone had any updates recently? I ordered GCMS notes and contacted my MP a month ago. I recently received the result and I got the same old answer. Nothing has changed and the application is still under security screening. I am starting to consider talking to lawyers as I am...

I finally received my GCMS notes after a month and absolutely NOTHING has changed since July 2023. The security clearance is still pending (started in June 2023). I need to rant a bit! It kind of hurts thinking that Canada considers me a threat to the national security!! Why else would they...

Same for me, no updates since July 2023, still in security clearance

Sorry to hear this. All I can say is that you are definitely not alone! There are many that are still waiting. Some applied even before us!

I applied as a single applicant.

Hi, I am sorry to say this, but based on my experience there is nothing you can do to speed up the process. I have been waiting since July of 2023 for security clearance and have requested notes from CSIS twice. Maybe others will have an idea. Best of luck!

This is really unfair and unacceptable. Have you spoken with a lawyer yet?

Has anyone had their security clearance completed recently? It has been 14 months and counting for me up to this point :D

I think my background check is with CSIS. I have requested access of information twice in the past year and I have got the same response which basically says "We are still doing your security clearance, we can't give you more details due to confidentiality and safety reasons." I will try with...

I am getting close to passing 14 months of waiting and with one year of no updates. I contacted my MP a few weeks ago and I got the same usual 'no update, still in progress' kind of response. Except, this time they also said (for the very first time) that my application is non-routine (even...
