I received my GCMS notes today from IRCC, same status as phone call centre guys gave me, its under security clearance status.

Current step in progress is Eligibility - Residence. I don't know if this step is called as security clearance step ? or this is something on new tracker called as Physical Presence ?

IRCC may get them late. but call agency to confirm of Fp has been sent to rcmp. then call RCMP, then will tell you the date then sent them to CanadaPost. mine were sent on April 22 by RCMP. were updated by IRCC on May 13.

CSIS only sends a letter by post whether you are in SS or not
CBSA notes are very similar to GCMS notes, Security portion will be redacted. It may show activities such as Security etc, but no additional details

During the PR application time I was under SS..
When I applied for CSIS i ended up with the letter which stated the following

CSIS PPU 005 Security Assessments/Advice - Your Security Screening case is still in progress. The information has been exempted from disclosure by virtue of one or more of sections 21 (as it relates to the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities), 22(1)(a) and 22(1)(b) of the Act until your case is complete

There is an article on Thestar which highlights the content of the letter when a journalist requested CSIS letter (for non immigration purposes) https://www.thestar.com/news/privacy-blog/2015/05/what-happens-when-you-request-your-csis-file.html

Congratulations. May I know where did you study and practice for questions pls.
Thanks! I just read the book once, watched about 100 questions in the YouTube video of 404 Citizenship test questions, and I used some of the Apps on my phone to do the sample tests. When I was getting consistently 17-20 questions right, I just did the real test.
