    GCMS shows 'Security Screening' and waiting... - let's gather here!

    If I were you , I would start by requesting notes from CSIS. Something might stick out when agent reviews your file and this might work out in your favour. Also , try your luck with the Customer Support over phone . There is no harm in trying. I am not sure what kind of reminder you can say to...

    I wouldn’t be waiting around if it’s 2 years . Hire a lawyer and drag them to court . I am in 13 months of my comprehensive security screening and I got a letter from CSIS just weeks ago stating ‘screening is still in process’ . Also , my GCMS notes have a comment from agent ‘ No processing time...

    CSIS will only tell you if your SS is in progress or completed . That’s all they disclose . CBSA one will tell everything . So your call . Hope this helps .

    There is no doubt they are lazy . Yes, lawyer notice put cic under pressure . But , what I meant to say is one should be waiting minimum 1.5 year and then take action .Plus, on top good lawyer costs money . That's my personal opinion considering in fact how long it took to get PR for my other...

    Your logic does not hold true for Inland applicants . Because when Work Permit expires , we can apply for Bridge Work Permit and then the onus of responsibility is on CIC to make decision asap as they can not tell you to leave Canada without finalizing application . So relax and max they can...

    I will keep you posted . I think I am unlucky as I am stuck with Winnipeg Office on top of SS and they are pretty slow in processing. But lets be hopeful and optimistic :)

    I am not sure where this 5-6 months trend is coming from . I am waiting since Nov 15 that is when my security started and it’s been 9 months . Last I checked in April and it was still in process by CSIS .

    Hi , I received a cut off date of 30 March and I think it’s just a bluff as I received a CSIS letter dated March 7 that my security screening is still in progress . Then it goes to CBSA and then back to CIC . And I don’t see this all happening by 30 March . I am assuming 2 to 3 months more for me .
