I saw a few inland PNP people having their 2nd BG in progress which is great!!. My BG status changed only once since Dec 6 to in progress. My GCMS notes says that I recommended pass criminality and security is NS (as of Feb 12). Now looks like this batch of applicants are having security checks in progress. I have a good advice for you guys. Contact CSIS directly (instead of CIC) to inquire about the security clearance of your application. Here are the instructions:
To enquire about the status of a government clearance or an immigration screening file, the following information is required*:
a full name,
date and place of birth,
the signature of the applicant, and
a return mailing address as replies are not sent by email or fax.
If you are enquiring on behalf of another person, the request must be accompanied by the Consent Form to Disclose Information to a Designated Individual.
Mail or fax the request to CSIS at the attention of:
Assistant Director, Operations
Canadian Security Intelligence Service
P.O. Box 9732, Station T

Fax: 613-369-2954
