They haven't started on security checks yet whatsoever. But one thing to note though is that they have an obligation to perform these checks within a year's time from the time that they created your application in their system - which is essentially the date they started processing your app.

Thanks websherguy...i sent my caips request yesterday...so we'll see what they'll say about my file status

You should expect it very soon, my application reached CIO first time on Oct. 1 and was mailed back to me on Dec 21.
I sent the CIO an e-mail on Dec. 4 asking about the status of my application, and here is the e-mail I just got from them this morning

What I actually did when I received my application was that I updated necessary forms and documents and mailed it again to them on Dec. 24. It reached CIO on Dec. 31.

Calm down, this has happened to many other members here, you are not the first one.
This is thier regulations, although it seems illogical but we have to follow it. It is not a big deal, it is all about lost time.

You just need to update some forms and some documents like the bank statement, you don't even need to update documents like police certificates. you may start doing that even before receiving your application to be ready to mail it back again as soon as you get it.
