Hi everyone, it seems that since last year, IRCC has conducted a large scale of security check aiming to overseas applicants. However, admissions/medical report/CAQ will expire after a year. So I wonder what's the average proccessing time for the security screening ?How many people waiting for thier study permits over a year? Thanks!

Hello, I hope you are ok.

Have you got your visa? If yes, how long your security screening took.

My security check has been in progress for almost 7 months.

I will be happy to know your situation.
Thanks

Hi and thanks for replying.

I applied in April 18 2023. The eligibility passed in September 07. Since then my security check has been in progress.

I applied from Afghanistan.

What is your timeline? And where are you from?
