Got GCMS notes, what is the difference between security screening vs security clearance?

In my GCMS notes in the section for security it says

Type: Security Clearance

I have applied for citizenship since December 2021 and my security has started in August 2022. It’s still in progress.
I have seen some people posting their gcms notes but it’s mentioned “Security Screening” for their type but mine is “Security Clearance”

is there a difference between the two? Anyone knows what it means?

It's the same. Is your background pending?
Try ordering notes from CBSA.

Y’a it’s pending. Criminality pass but security been in progress so far. I ordered cbsa notes and never received them. Filed OIC complaint and nothing happened. Contacted my MP and got ghosted lol. So ya I feel like IRCC just don’t care about me anymore :(
