Again... Front-End Security Screening

[iamkazmi]

Hi.

Yes.. I submitted the ATIP request and chose CBSA to receive a response from. 25 days later, I received a 35-page report detailing all the steps that I did and associated reports/submissions. The report showed that steps still pending:

Security: in progress
HIRV: in progress
Criminality: Passed
Org Crime: in progress
Medical: Passed

I called IRB 2-3 times since February, it is still the same response: IRB is still waiting for completion of the Front-End Security Screening.

Like Canuck78 said, there is nothing to do but wait.

How to raise atip request i see only ircc option not cbsa option please guide me

Much harder to do some security screenings than others and cooperation from countries varies. Very few cases are being processed within 4-8 months these days because of the backlogs. The majority of applications are in line for processing and nothing is being done to them. The largest part of the process is waiting while nothing happens to your file. Unless there are major reforms to the system people will be waiting many years for a hearing. All you can do is wait.

This is also same my problem front end security screen can you please share your email or contact details I want to discuss some point

Hello everyone.. I hope that you are all doing well..

I submitted my refugee claim almost 18 months ago. My file was referred to IRB in October 2023. IRB advised that my case was eligible for the file review process and asked me to submit my evidence for a possible determination without a hearing (less complex process), which I did by end of May 2024.

My case is still pending the completion of the front-end security screening (more than 15 months since it was referred to IRB).

I've called IRB 4-5 times over the past few months. Every time I would be given the same response: No update, we (IRB) are still waiting for the completion of the front-end security screening. One IRB officer suggested that I send a webform to IRCC in an attempt to push things.. I did. IRCC replied to me confirming that my file is still in process.

IRB told me several times that taking such a long time for the front-end security screening has been actually quite normal, taking into account the huge backlog of refugee claims (273,000 refugee claims by pending determination by IRB by the end of 2024).

I have a job.. I'm trying to further develop my skill sets.. I've obtained a Canadian professional qualification related to my career.. I have filed my 2023 tax returns..
I'm trying on my end to do everything in the right way.. I have been visiting this forum less frequently because I really try to stay positive, not comparing my timeline with others'...

I have submitted a refugee claim because of the political situation in my home country.
I am living safely here in Canada, but it is my family that I am worried about. They are living in another country, but they may be forced to go back to home country if they lose their temporary status there.

I have an immigration consultant. Last time I contacted him was maybe over 3 months ago, he says that he cannot do anything.

Is it true?


I came on a visitor visa to Canada. There should have been some sort of a security screening before I was granted the visitor visa? Prior to moving to Canada, I have lived for over 25 years in a country which has good ties with Canada (a GCC country). All this time I have never been to a police station, nor have I been involved in anything wrong.

Are there refugee claimants like me whose cases are stuck pending

Is there anything that I can do to get the front-end security screening to be completed?

Should I continue to call IRB on a weekly basis?
Should I continue to send a webform to IRCC like on a monthly basis?

Can I contact CBSA or any other security-related organization to try to get an update?

Please advise.

Thank you all.

if the IRB wants to accept your claim without a hearing, they must first receive a security screening (FESS) confirmation from CBSA particularly, its one of the conditions for accepting without a hearing,
if they didn't receive it and its been long, they may schedule a full or short hearing for you.

remember in order to be accepted via file review process or a short hearing for less complex claims, there are conditions for both streams and can be found at
https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/information-sheets/Pages/less-complex-claims.aspx

also look at this link:

IRB has no control over FESS and cant intervene,
I answered a similar question regarding this problem:

Thank you brother for your valuable reply.

It happened to me 2 times that I received a call from a private number. I was at work and could not take the 2 calls.

I will send an email to the CBSA generic email address and see if they can do anything about it.

It is almost 22 months since I submitted the BOC.

I sent an email to IRB 2 months ago and quoted this page that you included in your reply.

Specifically, I quoted this sentence:
"In cases where confirmation of security screening remains pending at twelve (12) months from the date of referral, the RPD will convene a conference with the claimant, counsel and Minister's counsel and may fix a date for a hearing."

It clearly says that IRB can - at their sole discretion of course - do something if there is a delay beyond 12 months to receive FESS.


I understand that there is an unprecedented high volume of refugee claims. I appreciate all the efforts made by IRCC, IRB, CBSA and all Canadian government agencies. The separation is taking its toll on me and my family

Hi, on IRCC Portal, your background check is completed or in progress?

Think hearing time over 2 years are going to become much more common. This is not first time processing times hit over 2 years but most are not familiar of what was going on with asylum claims 10+ years ago.
