have u thought of going the route of mandamus? can we apply for mandamus?

I considered it. However, after some reading, I found out that I would have to wait for it as well. In addition, it is not cheap.

Wow @ the csis letter. Thanks for sharing. Do you have any idea why you ended up in SS? I ask because I emailed Ottawa that my 6 months will be March 1st. They replied advising my application will be longer than that and that Eligibility and Criminality is passed. Security is ongoing. Don't know if that translates to SS?

Extensive travel history especially within the Middle East is most likely the reason. I had 70 odd trips in total, 90% of them in the Middle East.
If your eligibility has already passed 2-3 months ago and you are waiting for PPR then it might indicate that you are in SS. You can only conclusively say, if you are in SS or not through the CBSA notes.

You can order through 3rd party websites such as https://www.gcmsbuddy.com/pricing-tables, https://www.getgcms.com/order-now
They may ask you to sign a consent form(they will provide). The consent form should be something similar to this: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf745-eng.html

There is no need to order CSIS letter.

Have you ordered GCMS notes before ?

Thanks a lot. Yes I'm awaiting GCMS notes by next week from Gcmsbuddy. Is there anything I should be looking out for in the notes to confirm SS?
If it's SS, then I'll order CBSA notes.
