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

[Reykhan]

10 months starting from SS. At least that's what I hear the average wait time to be.

I wonder if my current GCMS note will contain more than 4 activities. Any progress is better than no progress.

Yeah same here. That's the trend that I've noticed as well. So more or less we should get the re-med request either in December or January. My file was assigned for SS in March this year.

And your GCMS notes shouldn't have more than 4 security related activities. 4 is the maximum it goes or at least that's what I've seen.

Here is the copy of letter

I didn't receive any pre arrival ? But my file is stuck in background check after interview. I think this is issued by IRCC not LVO

Lool yeah man that's all I'm thinking at the moment. By the way is it 9-12 months from when the file is assign for SS or when CBSA starts the security check. So far no one has been able to answer this question . But the trend that I have seen is 10-11 months from the IP2 date.

I calculated 9-12 months when your background check changes to ip2.
I did order GCMS notes but it didnt reveal much except for 5 security activities. I was close to ordering CBSA notes when I got the re medical request. I would also like to add that there is a security screening excel sheet by Irfan which predicted my PPR date.. accurate by two days.

Yeah I used the sheet as well and it predicted December for me. But the reason why I can't solely rely on it is because I applied through a solicitor so I don't have a clue as to when my status changed to IP2. I passed my eligibility on 18/12/17 and then my file was sent for security on 14/03/18. So if I use March as my IP2 date then according to irfan's sheet it'll be December when I should get my remed request.

@Reykhan
So i received gcms notes, and only 2 changes:

1) Medical status changed from Passed to not started
2) secondary visa office change, again! It seems every couple of month they update this to a different visa office

Hey bro, On your first point, it's quite bizarre that it saying not started. Usually it just says passed - expired. About your 2nd point I don't have any clue as to why they keep updating your secondary visa office. Mine has been the same since I ordered my first set of GCMS notes back in March.

On the CBSA notes medical showed passed- expired, but on GCMS it shows not started now after it was passed before. I don’t mind them changing the secondary office every now and then, I’m going to be optimistic and say that it means someone’s checking on the application

I finally received my GCMS notes for EE application, which went into security screening. As per notes, I finally had 7 activities related to security. Unfortunately everything except the 'type' and 'name' related to these activities has been blanked out. But now at least we know that for those who are stuck in security screening, you should see at least 7 activities related to security (CBSA and CSIS).

Hi Raza bhai. Will it be possible for you to attach the screenshots of how your Security looks like here? I have too been put in SS since end of June.

Yes 6 SS and 1 Security activity. Close to approval of the application, there were a lot of activities.

There is no information in these activities that may be useful to you.
