I'm really want to apply to come to Canada but I don't know how can I start this application because I'm a refugee living in the camp for more than 10 years. Someone can help me with this application.

My medical has expired today, and my GC key account now shows that my Application/Profile has been updated. Once I clicked, the section for medical is blank, and on the top, Application Status shows that we are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update. There is no date or anything on the top. Before, it was showing the Latest Update and the date for the update. Has anyone experienced this? Please share your experience.
Thanks

Hi everyone,

I've seen some people saying they are under comprehensive security based on their GCMS.
However, my notes from CBSA under the security's sub activities is showing:
Type: CIT CSIS Screening
Status: Pending Results

What it means? Is it comprehensive check? It's been in this stage since early December 2024.
Criminality is already passed.

Cheers,

Usually they mention it in the notes if you’re in comprehensive screening.

It's an automatic update without human intervention. Right after your medical gets expired that section goes blank and you need to wait for them to either extend your current medical exam results or ask you for a re-medical exam. Sometimes,

If not, is it normal to take that much long to clear the security screening?

Hard to say, but it usually takes few months to clear regular screening. If it takes over 8-10 months then you can consider yourself to be in CS
