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

[naaz12]

Guys got a ghost update. SS started in July 18.

Any idea what could this mean?

It means there is some movement in your case,Congratulations

I applied for CSIS notes under the Privacy act and got a mail yesterday. It says that security is still under progress and they cannot provide any timelines. What to expect now?

I hope so

I just read on the forum that this ghost update means that my medicals have expired. Such a disappointment. My portal now says You do not need Medical blah blah and switched from Medical Passed to this. I suppose I have to wait out an year before I can hear anything positive from CIC. I’ve already covered one full year on this journey since my AOR. I’m starting to forget my Canadian dream now given the lethargic progress of my application. @Reykhan Man. We are in it together now mate.

Loool hey man to that. I'm only waiting until December and then in January I'm gonna roll up my sleeves and force the issue.

Yeah same here. That's the trend that I've noticed as well. So more or less we should get the re-med request either in December or January. My file was assigned for SS in March this year.

And your GCMS notes shouldn't have more than 4 security related activities. 4 is the maximum it goes or at least that's what I've seen.

Just checked my old CBSA notes from Jun. Got 3 SS and 1 Security. Do you mean max 4 SS?

EDIT: I went back and read the last few pages. Turn out I’m still waiting for that “In progress by CBSA” activity to show up. Here’s hoping my current GCMS would have it.

I’m counting 10 months since the day my eligibility passed and got comprehensive SS requested. I’d rather it be that way than counting from the missing “ip by CBSA” activity.

Best would be 10 months from ip2, but I’m not holding my breath.

I've got 4 SS activities and 1 security on CBSA notes. It's been 11 months since IP2 when my eligibility was passed. But I'm gonna start my security clock from March this year when my file was assigned for SS. But again not holding my breath over it as my SS only started in June. Though it's fairly routine as CBSA don't pick up on files for good couple of months after they've been transferred to them.

Not sure when to expect the re-med request.

Unfortunately, it does mean that your spouse is under security screening. Even if you call CIC, they may say that it is being carried out by a third party organization which is a direct hint that there is extensive security screening going on.

How long is it taking these days to receive PPR after remeds?

How long is it taking these days to receive PPR after remeds?

In my case it literally took 2 days. But that was back in July. These days I think that timeline has changed.

I know so many people who are getting pprs after remed passed like 1 or 2 days later even same day
Its been a week for me and I'm stressed now

If there is nothing pending on your application, then you will have your PPR ultimately. It is matter of time now.

I know but its been 16 months and after remed its kinda getting difficult to wait now
