Looks like very soon you will receive PPR
Thanks for being optimistic and giving hope , however based on other cases , i fear the c-check may last much more longer ( i saw people waiting for 2-3 years ) .
Just medical extension gave me some hope that maybe my c-check is done but now i found out that would not mean anything about any progress in my application.
 
My application was submitted on Oct 23, 2023 and I have been in security screening since Feb 2024. Can I file mandamus now?
For Mandamus, the recommended time is 18 months after aor but you may apply after 12 months depending on case. You will need talk to a lawyer.
 
hello everyone! applied for PR under cec nov 2023. stuck at security. applied gcms notes and it says a34 comprehensive check :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Any specific reason why you were put to Comprehensive Sec Screening? Good that your spouse SS is passed.

no there was nothing mentioned. I don't have any political background or any services in policing, no criminal record.
 
When did you apply for the GCMS notes?

I am applying for cbsa notes as well. lets see what they have to say.

Is there anyone who is in a34 check and was completed before 9 months ?
because as far as i know it may take 9-18 months for cbsa to conclude
 
7/8/2024 i guess. it took 35-40 days
I see, I'm currently waiting for GCMS notes as well (it's almost 29 days now) so I guess it'll take another week or so. My background check started in February and there's no update since. It's just absurd that they put people in comprehensive security check without any apparent reason. On top of it, it seems like they don't really start working on it for first 8-9 months.

right! 10 months in and a year more of this wait
 
Does your GCMS notes mention anything about CSIS check as well? I heard that they usually send the security check to CBSA and CSIS. So, I applied notes from both of those institutions as well.

No just says : Received by CBSA
05/2024 they received
03/2025 due date
