Thank you very much for your reply.

Do you know how long CSIS security screening last? 3 months or half a year or more than one year?
One year ago it was less than 12 months. Currently it is roughly 15-18 months. Processing times may go up or down from here.

SP+OWP, SS since 04.07.2023.
All stages of mandamus passed and it didn't help. Now we are waiting for the judge's decision whether he will allow the hearing or not. It is just unbearably painful, 2 times lost fall intake and a lot of money. In the background, no public sector or government services, nothing at all. And these are temporary visas! Just outrageous! The country is Russia unfortunately :(

I have been reading this thread for a year now, I decided to register and write to let others realize that they are not alone in this terrible situation.

Congratulations to all those who had the strength and sanity to wait for the long-awaited ppr.

Case details can be viewed at the link in the signature.

I got my CSIS notes today and my security is still in process after 4 years. But this time round there information is exempted as per the section (21), Section 22(a), Section 22 (b) and 26.

However last time it was written S15(1), S16(1)(a), 16(1)(c), 19(1), 24(1).

Can you guide on these differences?

CSIS screening really depends on the case complexity. It can range from several months to 2-3 years. In the forum, there was a case in csis from 2019/07-2022/01.

When you applied csis notes? In general, this may be due to the act that you are using for seeking the information, either privacy act or information access act.

Hi, just wanted to update you guys and give the people some hope.

Been stuck in security for a year. I wasn't sure who had my file, so I ordered GCMS notes and got re-medical request and then after a week or so got my PPR.

Goodluck everyone!

This is fantastic news. Big congratulations to you. I pray we get many more positive feedback like this in this month of August. Thanks for sharing and giving us the much needed hope. If you don't mind, can you share exactly when your security screening started? Cheers
