nope I got a CD containing information related to the security screening and documents via regula canadapost mail.

Hi,

did you request this via online ATIP to CSIS?
If that is the case, I did the same thing and what I got was a letter printed on official paper. It didn't contain much useful information other than very generic main body and one sentence that security was not completed. What kind of information was included in your CD? Was is comprehensive and informative?
 
i've a question. i'm a FSW-O candidate, March 20, AOR and currently under security screening since June 2017. I've set aside the required amount of money for 3 family members in my bank account in the local currency since before the AOR. Now my local currency has under gone devaluation of upto 5% and is expected to de value further. The CAD has gone up as a result. what should i do? should i convert all this amount to USD? or just leave it as it is.
They take into consideration the exchange rate on the day of ITA

Does the security screening start once the file is transferred to LVO? If yes, then is security screening conducted by local agents?

Starts on the same day of IP2 in 90% of cases. or the same day of the last ADR received whilst on IP2

Yes I requested through ATIP. I think I got the CD because CSIS already completed my security screening. I guess if SS is under process then they do not provide much information. Same thing with one of my colleagues, his SS was under process. He did not get much information from CSIS ATIP request.

Thanks, I didn't know that was the case. It is good to know.

do you know anything about SS stuck at CBSA? I contacted my MP recently who was able to find out from IRCC that our application is stuck at CBSA. And of course, CBSA refused to comment on it. It has been over 7 months since SS started and any kind of thoughts would be helpful from someone like you with an experience.

Did you ordered/received GCMS note recently? If yes? would you please tell me whether you find info share tab in assessments (normally at 2nd page of GCMS note)? In my case I found nothing at September's GCMS note, but at November's GCMS that tab appeared as complete. But still no news from IRCC. From July 24, 2017 I am in IP2.

Just got this message from CSIS "Your request has left our office on January 5th, 2018. You should be receiving it shorty.". Don't know whether my SS completed or not!!! My GCMS shows Info Share: Complete!!!

CBSA's GCMS note is not useful at all. I request ATIP from CBSA, they just provided me the CIC regular gcms notes. By that time my SS was completed by CSIS and in the CSIS gcms notes it clearly said that the agency requested the SS was CBSA. Basically, what I understood is for me the SS path was CIC->CBSA->CSIS->CBSA->CIC. When CBSA finishes their part of SS I believe you will get PPR. Also, previously people tried to contact CBSA about SS and CBSA totally denied that they are doing the SS.

Info share is not SS what I have understood. In my case the info share with US was completed within a month of my AOR. However my SS started 3 months after my AOR.

No, it was back in September 2017.

I am not sure whether i completely understand what you are question is but if i did, this is what i see. I never received GCMS from CSIS but one i received from IRCC back in September says Pass for Eligibility, Criminality and Medical but empty for Security and the rest of categories.

My USA info share was completed within 2 months too. I am talking about the ASSESSMENTS in page 2 of GCMS note where we can see the status of all those Eligibility, criminality and medical together.
