I called CBSA today. The agent who I was talking with told me that CBSA is not involved in security screening. They are the enforcement organization. They do not conduct security screening. She recommended me to contact with IRCC for a status update. I said I already contacted IRCC multiple times and every time I was told that CBSA is conducting a security check. Then the agent told me: "Sir, CBSA is not involved in this matter. I cannot provide you an information which I do not have!". She was very convincing.
The Number I called is (902) 454 3725.
What do you say?

My CSIS GCMS notes clearly says that they conducted my screening for the client name CBSA. My guess is the CBSA agent does not have enough information about that or they are not allowed to talk about that. and also CBSA pages say that they do indeed perform background check.

Canadian government officers and agents must not give wrong information. They must be truthful. If they do not know the answer of a question they cannot guess. What we have written in our GCMS notes mention the name of the CBSA but they do not say CBSA does security screening. I guess CSIS technically do not contact IRCC. The communication takes place over CBSA which is a kind of mediator. This is how I see the situation after I called them. But why don't you give them a call and confront them with this GCSM info? Then you can provide the info you get from CBSA here. Please do it. We finally have to solve the mystery of this James Bond type of ridiculous procedure buddy.

I believe that the whole deduced hype about security screening is a fallacy, but of course YMMV.

Maybe it's just different wordings by different officers, some write security, others security screening, and recently there's "verifications" too

Morning everyone!

Is there any info or a tracker (except for the one with 13 cases) to see what's the average processing time for SS? Is it 3-6 months or longer?

If CSIS completed your security a year ago (August 2016), why you are not starting the legal process by hiring a lawyer?

CSIS is not the only agency conducting security screening. My application is at CSBA

Doesn't matter. If your application has been delayed for a significant time you can start the legal process. CSIS is the main part of the security screening and send the report through CBSA but we know that for some reason either CBSA or CIC is not working on our cases. If you are an EE applicant and you have significant delay you can hire a lawyer for Mandamus process. According to law, CIC is responsible to make a decision on your case within the standard time and security screening is not a good reason for the delay in the court unless you have previous background concerns.
