No updates for me.. may be in a couple of weeks as I am seeing people getting updates around 2 month mark also. Rest is up to the IRCC agents waking from sleep and opening my file
Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.
- Thread starter ROCK ON
- Start date
So did they ask you for any further information. For example, a request for fingerprints or additional documents etc.?
Hello Folks,
So I received my 3rd GCMS notes from CBSA. I applied by paper with family in OCT, 2022. My BG is in process (Security Clearance) since Feb, 2023 and we already passed the test, my spouse has BGC. As per notes:
My security was started on 08 Feb, 2023. I should expect 6-8 months (by July/Aug, 2023) or 110 days (as per CSIS service standard), I have also requested CSIS notes on 27 APR, 2023 - hopefully those will arrive this month too.
Secondly, I intend to request SCR office to separate/de-couple spouse and minors applications so that my processing delay doesn't jeopardize their application processing. Would there be any +/- impact or success rate of this?
What are your insights on these notes I received? please share your valuable insights. Thank you!

See my timeline below:
Application sent: Dec 2021
AOR: Feb 2022
Criminality: Passed
Security: Started end of Aug 2022 (Still in progress)
Test Invite: Sep 2022
Test completed: Oct 2022
It's been almost 9 months since my security has been started and no change in status. Every time I call IRCC they tell me I am still within processing time and should just wait. I applied for GCMS note in Nov 2022 and never received anything. I applied for Privacy Act in April 2023 and received an email saying my request is extended to June 2023 just to send me the notes. I am really tired of this whole process...even people that were stuck in security are being cleared within roughly 7 months...Now processing time is 21 months, meaning that by end of Sep 2023 I will pass the processing time.. What should I do? are there people waiting for security this long?

We have similar timeline, I am half month earlier than you, except I have security completed last month. Hope you can get bg complete soon.
Now, I am waiting for LPP, looks like another long waiting.
If anyone can answer, in this thread. If a parent's application is all processed and he's waiting for oath ceremony to start (application filed: June 27, 2022; oath ceremony to start May 31, 2023) - what is the purpose of minor's application still without a single progress (paper based application of my minor son received by IRCC July 07, 2022, no progress at all).
Aor Feb 07 2023
Test completed March 17 2023
FP received April 17 2023
BG still in progress
I called IRCC and they told me that criminality is done and security is in process. Any idea whats the timeline I’m looking at here? And how this security process works? Is it done by Canadian authorities or international third parties which may cause a significant delay?
please share your insights. TIA

what about GCMS notes from IRCC, do the they show these details? and how long does it take for CBSA notes to arrive?Hello Folks,
So I received my 3rd GCMS notes from CBSA. I applied by paper with family in OCT, 2022. My BG is in process (Security Clearance) since Feb, 2023 and we already passed the test, my spouse has BGC. As per notes:
Below is consolidated view of my notes, one thing new I noticed that these notes have validity date under security sub-activity, updated by system. Does it means that my security clearance is already completed by CSIS, but not yet updated by case officer or RC-8090 (CPC sydney) - but then why the status is still 'pending results' (perhaps previous status)?

GCMS notes received yesterday in old format, which are heavily redacted, they just show 4 lines (UCi, FName, GName, and type) of security under clearances. Abridged format from CSIS has more details with validity date.
