October 2018 AOR - join here

[whiterabbit]

I too called yesterday. Everything cleared except security. The agent said wait for 1 more month.......

Be ready for a long wait. I haven't seen anybody here whose security was cleared in 1-2 months actually. Currently CBSA either clears security in several days or put it to the comprehensive security screening which takes 5+ months. Of course, formally normal security checks should take several weeks, but I haven't seen a single person who heard "your security is in progress" and wasn't found to be under SS. Usually people get "your security hasn't been initiated yet" or "everything is passed"

I really hope that I'm mistaken.

so, in your opinion, if someone is in SS, they will only get their PPRs after 12 months of AOR?
Also, they will come to know about the fact they are in SS via GCMS notes only?

If someone is under comprehensive SS, he can expect (based on current trend) some movement after 5-6 of the screening. It has nothing to do with the AOR date, CBSA doesn't care about anything but security checks.
It's literally impossible to know about SS from GCMS notes. Of course there are some common signs of SS, but only CBSA notes can shed light on the particular case.

Oh okay, i ordered GCMS notes on 21st June, so i was asking.
I have eligibility met status since idk when mostly dec 2018 and no update otherwise.
whenever i have called they just say, eligibility is met and criminality and security haven't begun.
In email to ottawa they say, your application is in queue to be reviewed by an officer and they cannot estimate anything when my application will be completed.
So i was wondering if i am in SS or something.

You can't be under SS if your security hasn't been initiated yet

You can't be under SS if your security hasn't been initiated yet

they (call center agents) say security and criminality haven't begun but they also say that case officers a lot of times do not update statuses online which is why we get to see the same status but this does not mean that they are not working on your file.
so idk what is the truth about criminality and security on my file. :-(

I mean, if it is really comprehensive SS, it's gonna take 5+ months since the beginning of the security checks. When did they start processing your security?

If your security is not finished by the end of this month, 95% that you are under comprehensive SS. Order CBSA notes to be sure. If it's true, you can count 5-6 months from the beginning of security checks (which is October-November in your case) and expect some movements on your case there. We're in the same boat with you probably.

In a couple of days I've to call CIC again to see if the agent can send another reminder to the officer. This will be the third reminder as I've never received any update after the first two ones. Do you think that these reminders have any effect at all on the process?
