Thank you @Owais Iqbal!

We've got our Portal 1 Email yesterday, May 22. AOR March 10.

Our Tracker still reads:
Eligibility - Not Started
Biometrics - In Progress
Background - In Progress
Medical - Completed.

Good luck everyone! :)

If your eligibility hasn't been cleared, I am not sure if that is in comprehensive security checks. You will need to order CBSA notes to confirm.

One person had comprehensive screening as per GCMS notes and still got cleared in 2 months recently. The other one is screening record check. Record check is short but screening is generally longer. Very few in the screening make it out in short time.
Yea, mine took 3 months. Recently got a re-medical request. Precisely on the 24th of May. My security screening and that of my spouse (was stated 'comprehensive check' on cbsa note) started on the 28th of February according to CBSA notes, and sent to CSIS on the 29th and completed same day according to CSIS note. Called ircc today and confirmed that my security was passed on the 24th of May, same day of the re-medical request.

@umbro mandamus is now ongoing, got a "no reason" response from IRCC and DoJ but no direct response to the demand letter. Apparently my demand letter has a trigger word somewhere, and the forum does not allow me to share it

I am not good at Mandamus processing.
As long as I know Demand Letter is the very first step and it is not really Mandamus.
Mandamus starts when a lawyer gets into a real action, which is another step that comes after Demand Letter, some lawyers skip Demand Letter as they claim it usually does not help.
So, go to next step with your lawyer and see what happens.

Got my CBSA Notes today. Security in Progress by CBSA and in Sub Activities, Security Screening type A34 : Comprehensive :(
Hey bro, I know this is pretty old stuff for you, but would you like to let me know when you eventually got your PR approval after receiving the CBSA notes about comprehensive security screening? I received the same notes as yours. Thank you very much!

After filing mandamus, it took an astounding 15 days for the RROC office of IRCC to give me a Rule 9 response and Notice of Appearance (NoA). But more shockingly, from the Federal Court website, I learned...

1. There have been TWO other people carrying my first AND last name who filed for mandamus against IRCC since 2022 :rolleyes: And my first name is by no means common. I can tell these are two separate plaintiffs, because the second person only started the mandamus process after the first guy had won.
2. From the serial number of my mandamus case, I can tell more than 10000 immigration-related cases have been filed between January and June 2024. There were less than 5000 immigration-related cases between January and June 2022, even with all the year-long delays that IRCC blamed on COVID. It wasn't until November 2022 before IRCC received 10000 immigration-related lawsuits for the year. Maybe this is why they have been so slow to respond.

Thanks for this insightful info. I hope that in the end you achieve success. Meanwhile, it is quite remarkable the humongous number of outstanding Mandamus/immigration related cases. It shows the level of frustrations among applicants attributable to the prolong delay in the processing of background checks. The process clearly needs to be finetuned for better results.

Hey guys,

Following up on this, too. I got A34 comprehensive security screening in my GCMS notes 2 months ago.
Just wondering how much time it eventually took....

Appreciate any important info.

Thanks.
