Dear friends in the forum,

I submitted my study permit application in May 2023, and still waiting for the decision.
My timesline is:
Submission: May 24th, 2023
Biometric confirmed: May 29th, 2023
Upfront Medical passed: May 29th, 2023
Eligibility Passed: June 28th, 2023
Background in progress: June 28th, 2023
IRCC processing office: Beijing, China


It has been four months after the background changed into in progress, and I am pretty sure I am under backgound check.
In another forum I learnt that the most detailed GCMS notes can be retreived from CBSA. I have requested three times through ATIP since late July, but didn't get a reply.
The first two I didn't upload my passport id page, for the third one requested on Sep 15th, I noticed the suggestion from CBSA and did upload the id page.

I see other people who requested GCMS notes usually get it around one month, while my CBSA notes on Sep 15th was not. I then requested another group of GCMS notest from IRCC, CBSA, CSIS on Oct 16th, only from CBSA for the previous requests.
I am wondering if that is possible the background check for me is the record check that only goes to CSIS which doesn't involve CBSA? (Learnt from this website, don't order from them tho, ATIP is free!)
Or is it just taking longer for CBSA to repond, and I should just wait for the ordered notes?

Please kindly share your opinions.

Best,

Hello friend. I hope you are well.

Could you please share your application status? Have you got your ppr? What about your CBSA notes?

Please let me know what stage are you in as I have the same situation.
