If your security has been in progress since April, it's definitely a comprehensive one. However, you can only see that in CBSA notes, as IRCC notes do not provide the information about the type of screening.
GCMS shows 'Security Screening' and waiting... - let's gather here!

Looks pretty much like comprehensive SS, especially along with 4+ months of checks. That's true that checks can't be expedited - they are performed by CBSA which is a third-party agency.
The question here, is these investagestion by CBSA should be done with all applicants and the reason for taking longer time for some applicants because VO officers forward it to CBSA only after finalize the eligibility which make it longer time for applicant while some VO officers forward it to CBSA for this check in early stage so the VO officers work on eligibility and CBSA work on security check in same time which mean all go in parallel which make the applicants doesn't even notice that his/her security check take time . Is it possible ? OR no its not possible and all officers have to stuck with one policy which is forward to to CBSA only after the eligibility and dependents on the applicant citizenship ,residency and visited country it takes this time so its out of hand even for CBSA officer ?
So 6 and a half months for SS? Gives some hope to us! Congratulations!
Nope. In CBSA notes you can find some information about security checks, whereas in GCMS notes security-related information is cut.
I requested GCMS note ans still waiting to get it , can you help me how can I request CBSA note and how long it takes to get it
Let me share last response from VO
Background checks or further investigation are necessary in relation with the processing of this application. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in many different ways, including health, security and criminality. Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities.
Our office will contact applicant and sponsor as soon as all verifications are completed, or as soon as more information, documents or an interview are required.
We trust this information is helpful.
What’s that mean is it SS, I was told by MP security starts in March and still waiting
I am not sure why they said visa to Canada not PR, it’s confused

I ordered CBSA notes on gcmsbuddy. It is said that it takes about 50 days to receive 'em, for me it was like 40-45 days.
I selected Access to Information Act when I requested GCMS , is it the same as CBSA right?? Correct me if I’m wrong
