Hey Medmar,
What you heard is correct and I am also in the same boat. My security check started from 8th March and there is no update so far. Once you see this message in your tracker that your application has gone to comprehensive security check. I have created a watsapp group for such people please feel free to join for further updates. There are 16/18 people like us in the group.

Your country please? have you been in defence services in your home country. I am trying to get how your application was picked up for comprehensive check.
 
I think it's definitely comprehensive security check. If activity status gets updated like that. I got GCMS notes and my application is in c-check since Feb 2024. It can last from 3 months to years.
 
I saw someone's tracker today who had the same tracker line in his history ("Background verification status has been updated to in progress.") and his Background got completed 28 days after that message. I don't know about his case being inland/outland or visa type. But I think we can be hopeful this line is not indicator of being under comprehensive screening.
R u get Canada Visa?
 
R u get Canada Visa?
No, I ordered the GCMS notes and found out I'm subject to A34 "comprehensive security screening". Based on what I witness in other forums, it might take around 1 year after the start date of "Security screening" to complete.
