Check your CKYC for the name and DOB. Your printed documents might have correct details, however there is a chance where your name or DOB are incorrectly updated in the backend.
Your details can be verified using CKYC.
Ex: Swapping of First Name, Last Name.. adding an extra letter in your name, one number more/less on ur DOB, etc...
CKYC sounds like indian KYC database, it is not related to other countries

is this the same info they get from trans union credit report?
Just need a clarification. Did you correct your name or Date of Birth in your birth country during this waiting period ?

What I learned from the CSIS screening is, all the Citizenship applications go for CSIS Integrated Bank Search to prove no Anti Money Laundering (AML) or terrorist financing was done. CSIS searches for the Name and D.O.B in your birth country using KYC (Know Your Customer Data & Identification) system and validates your details.
If the Name and D.O.B matches and there is no red indicators, CSIS will share the recommendation to IRCC. IRCC completes the Background verification based on response from CSIS on Security Screening and Criminality clearance from RCMP.
In case, if the Name and D.O.B doesn't match, then your application goes into the waiting period with no further action from CSIS.

With this assessment, I did verification of my documents like Passport, Tax Assessment (PAN, TIN), Driving License, Bank Accounts where all my personal details matches correctly.
However, recently i discovered even though all the documents has the correct details, my personal details specifically D.O.B in the KYC (Know Your Customer) system is updated incorrectly and not matching with my identify documents.
Personal data goes to KYC system through your Bank.

Strange thing here is Bank is having the correct data but KYC is having incorrect data.

To resolve this mismatch, now, I have requested to re-KYC by providing the supporting documents.

CSIS has seized my laptop and I can’t even login. Has anyone ever experienced this before? “CSIS observatory van 3” is anyone here familiar with this and what that means ?
I am shocked they are spending this much time on a person that can’t and won’t hurt a fly.
Were you at the border? Why did they seize your laptop?

Hi, KYC is done in all the countries through different channels (Bank, Credit, Trading, SIN, etc). CSIS looks for Criminal Record history in your birth or other country of residence where you have stayed more than 6 months. This record check is performed by searching ur Name (First Name and Last Name) and D.O.B in other countries KYC system and it should match exactly as you have provided in your citizenship document.
For other North American Countries, Canada can access their system without any other permissions. But for other countries, for which Canada doesn't have permission to validate the record check, they verify through Background check agencies.
