The anatomy of a Background Check? - <<<<<<IN-DEPTH ANALYSIS>>>>>>>

[legalfalcon]

Hello,
I have applied for Express Entry in Jan 24, 2023.

I received a letter from CSIS and it states:

Security Assessments/Advice (CSIS PPU 005) - A search of this bank was conducted and no
personal information concerning you was located.

Could you please help me to understand this?

Thank you,

This simply means that your case has not been referred to CSIS or CSIS is not involved in your assessments. Not all applications will be sent to CSIS.

To read about security screening, see https://shorturl.at/CpCo0

Hey, did you get any update on your file? I ordered CSIS notes & my notes have the same response as yours

Nothing yet, only eligibility is completed on tracker.

HELP! My application that has had the longest processing time due to Enhanced Security Screening (AOR Nov 5, 2022), has been in the FD: We are processing your application in GCKey and all stages completed, COPR details available on tracker since May 2nd. I already contacted IRCC and the MP on May 21st and they said to wait for a few weeks for the portal 1 email. Is this normal? What is taking them so long to release an email? I do not want to bother them to make this bigger but I also want to know what's going on and I want my application to be processed instead of freaking neglected.

Hello,
I found that I am currently under comprehensive security screening. I have these two lines which are interesting for me:

Type: Security Screening
Status: Received by CBSA

Does this mean, that CBSA received request about me back from CSIS or what?

Thx in advance.

I had the same status and ordered CSIS notes a few months later. CSIS responded that they are still in progress with my case, so 'Received by CBSA' doesn't mean that they have received the report from CSIS.

I received the ATIP notes yesterday and came across the phrase 'Grant Clearance Pending. Do you know what this means and whether it's something positive?

I ordered GCMS notes and received them today, on first page it says:

Eligibility: Passed
Security: In Progress
Criminality: Passed
Medical: Passed
Info sharing: Complete

On last pages, Note 1 also shows:

Label: Adm/Security
Office: Centralized Intake Office
Text: SECURITY DATA ENTRY COMPLETE AND SUBMITTED X 1

So it looks like the only pending thing is security and under my spouse Security Screening section it shows:

Security Screening Type (A34): Comprehensive
Priority: Normal

Does this mean it will likely get delayed and take 1+ year to complete? @legalfalcon @torontob

How long did it take for you to get final decision? I have exact same note.

Yes, it will likely get delayed, nothing else will help, just to wait or file Mandamus generally after 18 months from AOR.
You should also order CSIS notes.
