[annevn8]

I am based here in Canada, you can see my GCMS notes in the thread below...
Exactly the question what you are asking, I am trying to ask the same , am I or am I not... Some members say yes... some say no...

I don't wanna comment about whether you are or you are not and mislead you, not right on my part tbh

Dear Bimale

I got the following reply for a CSE that I raised few weeks ago. Sounds like a very generic reply to me...
AoR - 6 Apr'18, Eligibility and Criminality is PASSED. In BGC since 26 May'18

Hello Bimale4bipeople,

Have been following you a long time. I hope your SS will soon be concluded.
I have a question if you dont mind. Have you ordered CBSA note to confirm that you are in ss? And what consent form do we use for CBSA? Is it same as GMCS consent form?

It took them 7 months to pass my eligibility and I was moved to ip4 almost 6weeks now so started to worry if I am selected for ss.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Anne

I think you need CBSA notes to know if your in ss or not. Not gcms notes which will only say "background check"

So there is no way from GCMS notes to see? Thought that blanks and codes such as s.15 give an indication of SS

Hi Anne,
I had ordered the CBSA notes in July which provided details on the SS at specifically 2 places on the notes. ADMISSIBILITY & ACTIVITY.
In the ADMISSIBILITY it clearly highlighted when did my BGC(which was after 1 week of AoR) actually started and the date I went to SS.
Since I have crosssed more than 6 months in SS now, I ordered another set of CBSA notes now, I am waiting to receive them.

Originally when I ordered gcms notes back in May/June timeframe I had first 3 ACTIVITY blank followed by the 4th one as Security. That’s where a forum member told that I am most likely in SS. That prompted me to order CBSA notes. See if your latest gcms notes provide these clues to you or not

For CBSA notes use the following consent form https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf745-eng.html

Can you check your gcms notes and look at ACTIVITY 1-5? and can you quote what’s mention over there

Hi All,

Is background check and SS is the same thing?

All what I know is that CBSA are doing necessary background checks on my application since July 2018 and it is still in progress as of today.

How long does these checks usually takes?

Thanks

ss is under the category of background. But ss and criminality are different. Ss is a much more in depth search on you... I'm being told that ss right now, can take minimal 6 months

Hi Bimale,

Thank you so much for your information.

My first GCMS note said security not started. And so in the admissibility and Activities the value is Not started as of October 26. My AOR is April 25. It is good that you passed Eligibility early after AOR. It took me 7 months to pass eligibility, in which 6 months with no one touched the file. Eventually they passed my eligibility and moved me to IP2 in November. It will be scary if I am selected for SS as it will take another 9 to 18 months for this stuff and this wait will become the most unbearable.
Soon as I passed eligibility, I ordered second set of note. It hasnt arrived yet. I also ordered CBSA note for me and thought I should also order it for spouse with that consent form.

Thank you again.

From these notes it does not give me the impression that you are in SS, but once you get the new set of notes let’s sync up.

Thanks Bimale, possibly because it was not started at that time, all activities didnt have sign of SS. I thought being inland means your security check had been passed one time....

Yeah but PR application is an independent process considering the fact an applicant will eventually become a citizen..

 

[shaheersinn]

Guys ! Can we file writ of mandamus before passage of 1 year ? I mean 1 year after SS date ??

@dpenabill @legalfalcon Can you kindly advise?

Hlo everyone,
I am having Aor 6 April 18 and my spouse is in Ss from 18 May 18.
My Eligibility,Criminality.Info sharing,security everything is passed.

Only security and criminality of my spouse is pending.

I applied for CBSA notes on 19 Nov 2018
And got a ghost update on 19 dec.

Now I got CBSA notes and they clearly indicate Ss started on 18 May.

But today on 29 dec I got another ghost update.
I really confused what is happening????with my case.
Every update brings hopes but nothing happens.

Anyone can provide information on it?
Does it indicates there is progress in case?And SS is over(in 7 months)
Thanks in advance.
