    Fair. And it depends on the quantity of checks, as every case is individual. Somewhere they need to check and request more data, somewhere less.

    Unfortunately, this is wishful thinking. There are people who started on SS in June 2023 and they are still on SS, and just two weeks ago, someone was approved whose SS started in August 2023. My SS is still in progress, even though it started in August 2023.

    You can do nothing at all. If you're under SS, relax and forget about your file at least for 1 year.

    Specially IRCC Notes can trigger an update in the Tracker. You will see the ‘Date Generated’ in the Notes as the date of the Tracker update. P.S. I would recommend ordering CBSA notes in the future, even if you’re not under SS, as they conceal less information compared to IRCC Notes.

    If you’ve ordered IRCC Notes, the tracker updates when they’re exported. CSIS/CBSA Notes don’t trigger updates anywhere.

    It's not a Ghost Update. What you're describing is simply an update in your tracker, which happens from time to time. A Ghost Update occurs when your GCKey application shows 'Application/Profile Updated' instead of 'Submitted,' but no actual changes have been made. Like here:

    The assessment of medical exams is handled by a specialized department where the medical results are sent. This department evaluates whether the person passes or not. The same process occurs when the medical exam expires; the results of the old exam are sent to this department for evaluation...

    ITA - Visa refusal questions

    The first question, in other words, asks if you have ever been denied any type of visa to any country, including immigration, tourist, work visas, etc. The second question, in other words, asks if you have ever been denied entry to any country, including with a visa, or if you have ever been...

    Ghost update

    You are quoting a message from legalfalcon that is 6 years old, and moreover, you are quoting it completely out of context. Additionally, he does not "agree" with you, so don't distort the facts. You claim that GU (Ghost Updates) are "meaningless," which is an absolute misconception. GU are case...

    The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

    I had the same status and ordered CSIS notes a few months later. CSIS responded that they are still in progress with my case, so 'Received by CBSA' doesn't mean that they have received the report from CSIS.

    I have not seen a single FSW case where there was a CV ADR and the tracker status was "Background verification status has been updated to In progress," and the person did not end up on SS afterward. If you have "a lot" such examples, please provide links to them. I can save you some time by...

    Imagine you're an officer whose job is to identify suspicious individuals who could be potential spies. You're handling thousands of cases and working on various cases for years. Over time, you develop certain patterns that lead you to refer cases to SS almost automatically. Factors like...

    It's possible that they are inland and their case was not on SS but on light S, where CSIS is not mentioned, which is why it went through so quickly. Or perhaps their case was different, etc. In general, I haven't seen them, but I would be interested in studying them because I haven't...

    It depends. From what I understand, when the medicals expire, they send the old file with the medical examination to a special service that assesses medical exams. This service determines whether the medicals can be extended. If they respond that the medicals can be extended, the officer will...
