GCMS shows 'Security Screening' and waiting... - let's gather here!

[artificial.nocturne]

No. BGC is Security Screening. The difference is how each one takes.

That might be so... but you know what’s happening around here, many if not all applicants are using SS to denote their comprehensive Security Screening.. That’s why it’s confusing.

Btw You mentioned your SS start date but when was it that your background check start?

I was directly put in SS so its basically the same as my SS date

Hello everyone,

I’m new to this group, but not new to the process

Below are my details:
Category: FSW
AOR: 19 August 2018
Medicals: Passed on 11 Sep
Eligibility: Passed
Criminality: Passed
Security Screening: I believe this is in process right now as I can see S15 code on my GCMS notes, with 12 activities mentioned under this.
Number of dependents: 1 (Spouse)
VO office: Ottawa

I’m an Indian based in UAE and today my application completes 8 months. My consultant believes our application is taking time because of security screening as we have travelled quite a bit, especially my husband who has travelled to 38 countries for both leisure and work.

Just wanted to check if there is anyone with a similar profile when it comes to travel or seeing the code s15 on GCMS notes.

This has been quite a patience-testing phase, as I’m sure is the case for all of us.

Good luck to us all.

I had the same but S.15 has nothing to do with SS.

 

[Rik2019]

Oh really. And what stage are you now at?

S15 may not necessarily means SS. However 12 activities under this code can be an indicator for it.

Guys, question on address history -

In 2014, I boarded from Seattle on 22 Sep 2014 and landed in Mumbai, India on 24 Sep 2014. This is consistent with the immigration stamps too.

In the address history, where can I allocate 23 Sep 2014? There is no option of "Air Space".

 

[bimale4bipeople]

Oh really. And what stage are you now at?

Received PR. Took around 10 months from AoR(Apr’18) to PPR(Feb’19).

Congrats on getting the PR, I’m sure those last couple of months of wait wasn't easy. If you don’t mind me asking, did you also have a lot of travel history? Just trying to understand the cause of delay. Thanks!

Yes 70+ trips in the last 10 yrs. Most of them were done when I was based in Dubai and travelling within the GCC, EU, North America. I applied for the PR when moved to Canada as a CEC

Same! wonder how they randomly decide to screen all pakistanis!

Discrimination is not randomly decided and discrimination is called so because it doesn't need a reason.

Thanks Pris...

Your background check has not started yet. Once it start the word "progress" will changed to "processing".

But it has been more than 6 months since my application has been submitted(July 2018).... It was under process in Nova Scotia and has now moved to NVDO.... I was hopeful that I am close to getting PPR

BGV happens from NVDO?

Probably in queue still.

Hi everybody,
I and my husband (PA) have been on SS since September 21, 2018. Last Thursday (almost 7 months after SS started) he had a ghost update, and we were once again optimistic. However, when he called IRCC today, the agent said nothing has changed and background check is still in progress. I don’t understand what could cause the ghost update. Any thoughts?
