Hi folks. I have my AOR in April 2023. I stuck in the background check (criminality passed based on ATIP). I had an interview last month. I did my citizenship test outside Canada and am currently living and working outside Canada. After my interview, Language and Presence turned green. I applied for ATIP, and in the officer note (after the interview) is written: "Outcome of review: Pending clearance". Do you have any idea why the outcome of the interview is written like that?

Have you ever considered any action such as a writ of mandamus?
I did a few times, now that I have renewed my passport, PR card, US Visa, I have stopped caring. It will come when it comes. I met with MP a few days ago and I happened to speak at one of the events where MP was also present the previous night. He recognized me and said I understand security clearance is black hole

July 2022 AOR here. Test completed Dec. 2022. GCMS shows they changed my application status to "on hold" end of Aug 2023. E-grant clearance pending. I contacted them a few times no answer about what's wrong there. I have not asked to provide anything. I'm getting frustrated.
what is GCMS stand for?

What is the difference between WebForm and GCMS (AITP)? Are they 2 treated differently and the information replied back is different? Which one is recommended in this scenario where our BG has not been completed 6 months after AOR. 5 months after Citizenship test.

Webform is for communication with IRCC.
GCMS is a log of all the things that has happened with your application. Its helps you to understand where is your application stuck. In your case GCMS will help.

GCMS notes says: Status: Fingerprints Required. But I didn’t receive any request letter nether on Portal nor on Email. What should I do?

It's best to call IRCC call centre and ask them
I also want to request a GCMS note. I'm not sure from which department I should request it, IRCC or CBSA?
