i think they have sent people for security from aug 2023 to april 2024 in bulk. i heard that they are clearing it up now. hope for the best
I hope so!
This is frustrating and hopeless and I'm loosing my mind.
I request my CSIS notes 55 days ago (no response), they are doing nothing!
It's just F***ING laziness.

reading this thread, so if the status is “received by cbsa” then it still hasn’t started technically?

also waiting on csis notes since end of november. they’re saying the number of similar requests (asking for security screening) has increased and that’s why they’re taking longer

also. is it true that if you apply under family class inside canada, we can’t file for either mandamus (because we can keep getting OWPs forever so there’s a way to stay in canada) and H&C doesn’t work because you can be sponsored by a family?

I’m still under normal processing time for my application (supposed to be 12 months) but I’m getting close to it (11.5 months since submission) and I’m trying to see if I should bother to save up for a lawyer if the application is still stuck in security check after a year

I am also looking for a feedback on this from of the experts here.

Do you have a Due date on your GCMS notes? Mine says Mid July but not sure if that is reliable
My due date was April 17 does that mean they have to do it before the day or what??
Really tired, does anyone have the experience?

all my friends that submitted at March 2024 had gotten their pr cards! Why me

honestly it doesn’t look like due dates mean anything. mine for CBSA was 29th of November last year. and the status is still received.

I don’t know if there any ways to file a complaint with this horrible system. I get the need to ensure safety but surely it can be done much faster. feels like they’re stalling applications on purpose honestly…

I submitted march last year too. most of march applicants for my stream are also PR by now.

but yours say “in progress” for the CBSA security screening?

mine is “received by CBSA” right now. type of security A34 comprehensive. sounds like mine hasn’t started but yours is at least in progress
