Hi, I got a request letter asking me to either submit my passport or let them know if I'm in Canada. I let them know I was in Canada via the webform. Curious of the timeline from here. Is this normal to receivesuch a letter?
Why did you not reply the email instead of sending webform

Hello people! My torture has just ended. I sincerely hope I'm the last one this thread.

AOR - May 6, 2021
Medical (1) Pass - May 21, 2021
Medical (2) Pass - June 30, 2022
Eligibility was under review required - from May 26, 2021 to Nov 10, 2021 (due to a stupid mistake on my job letter by HR)
All other (criminality/info sharing) - Nov 16, 2021

I had to leave Canada b/c my passport expired on Jun 27, 2021, in meantime my work permit also expired so couldn't do bridging work permit. Came back to Canada on Aug 31, 2022.

Portal email - Feb 3, 2023.

If you ever in similar situation (passport expired, WP expired, PR stuck in the red tape) and want more details from me - don't hesitate messaging me.
I have been through this and this forum helped me a lot.
Good luck

Did you live in multiple countries or any difficult to screen country?
You can try getting a CBSA notes, similar to GCMS, for more information.
Alternatively you can proceed legaly with a mandamus.

Probably thats the reason for delay in security screening.
Hope CBSA notes gives some information and you get the PR soon.

I have also travelled to few countries and have lived in India, Ghana, Nigeria and USA. My application also seems to be stuck at security screening. I just applied for CBSA notes.
