Hi, Can anyone applied for CSIS notes ?
Is someone here to guide regarding this issue? My test is "complete" but background is still in progress, so want to know what exactly going on there?
I appreciate for any guidance and information?
We are in similar situation. I am also waiting for security clearance to be done. It’s over two months for me
since I completed my test. No point in applying to CSIS for notes as I applied but they didn’t release any information.

I finally got an hold of an agent and as per conversation there is no updates regarding test. Local office has not mentioned any progress or updates on my application. Last update was on March 31 and there has been no FP or additional documents request.
Is this a good sign? Should I now wait for test update?

Oh, it means there is no need to apply CSIS notes?. You mean that you have received notes but nothing specifically there, even no relevant information regarding background check? By the way, how many days they took to send you the notes? And do you have international visits other than your home country?
Thanks.

Yeah, you'll receive a test invite email one or two days before the test start date.

Please post an update once you receive the test invite email and once after taking the test.
