GCMS shows 'Security Screening' and waiting... - let's gather here!

[Saba91]

Hello everyone,
I need your help. I am currently applying from outside the country, and my application has been stuck in security screening for eight months. My application is under the AIP stream. Today, my employer sent an email to withdraw my job offer. All my stages have been passed (eligibility, medical, and criminality), and only the final decision is pending. My application was submitted in August 2023, and it has been over a year.
Please advise what options I have. I checked the NB portal, and my nomination also expired in July as one year passed due to the long comprehensive screening process. Please guide me.
What steps are required? Since eligibility has already been passed, will the security screening create an issue for me?
What is the timeline for the comprehensive security screening now?

Why didnt you apply for Work permit using the job offer and nomination --- i mean lmia exempt t13 closed work permit...

It got stuck in Security because you didnt fulfil the requirement of pnp nomination that is based on job offer.... you were supposed to come and work for the employer but you waited for the PR to come to come to canada... correct me if i am wrong...

Two years ago Holthe was charging $3000 CAD for court filing. Apparently business is booming and demand is high

@battylife have you used the same lawyer for your application ?

I'm with the similar timeline! but no employment at airport, comprehensive checks may take around 9-18 months as far as I have researched. I haven't seen shorter timelines than that. Good luck !

Thank you for your reply, 9 to 18 months from AOR or file transfered to CBSA?

from the file transferred to cbsa (in most cases 9-18 months) it may take less time as well

Today I called MP and got feedback of no updates since last time (120 days ago).
Almost 11 months in security screening, no updates

Hi All,

Here is my timeline, and I have been stuck in comprehensive security check since May. I have contacted MP and was told everything has passed except for security, which has no concrete timeline. Those who enter c-check around the same time can compare.

Program: inland family sponsorship
2023-08 Submission
2023-09 AOR
2023-10 Biometrics & Medical
2024-05 ADR request for CV & comprehensive security
2024-10 Biometrics expired (since I am inland I don't need another medical exam apparently)

I have been in Canada for 10 years as international students, and I don't really understand the reasons behind this comprehensive security check. Fingers crossed that my long stay in Canada could expedite the security check.

Wish us all good luck, and I am open to discussion.

Hello SufurInn, I have a similar timeline. AOR was 2023-08. CBSA Note said updated in 2024-04, SS status: in progress by CBSA. CSIS Note said in progress without any details.

Do you mind guiding me how to check the start time of comprehensive SS?

Good luck!
