Check your CKYC for the name and DOB. Your printed documents might have correct details, however there is a chance where your name or DOB are incorrectly updated in the backend.
Your details can be verified using CKYC.
Ex: Swapping of First Name, Last Name.. adding an extra letter in your name, one number more/less on ur DOB, etc...

CKYC sounds like indian KYC database, it is not related to other countries

is this the same info they get from trans union credit report?

Just need a clarification. Did you correct your name or Date of Birth in your birth country during this waiting period ?

What I learned from the CSIS screening is, all the Citizenship applications go for CSIS Integrated Bank Search to prove no Anti Money Laundering (AML) or terrorist financing was done. CSIS searches for the Name and D.O.B in your birth country using KYC (Know Your Customer Data & Identification) system and validates your details.
If the Name and D.O.B matches and there is no red indicators, CSIS will share the recommendation to IRCC. IRCC completes the Background verification based on response from CSIS on Security Screening and Criminality clearance from RCMP.
In case, if the Name and D.O.B doesn't match, then your application goes into the waiting period with no further action from CSIS.

With this assessment, I did verification of my documents like Passport, Tax Assessment (PAN, TIN), Driving License, Bank Accounts where all my personal details matches correctly.
However, recently i discovered even though all the documents has the correct details, my personal details specifically D.O.B in the KYC (Know Your Customer) system is updated incorrectly and not matching with my identify documents.
Personal data goes to KYC system through your Bank.

Strange thing here is Bank is having the correct data but KYC is having incorrect data.

To resolve this mismatch, now, I have requested to re-KYC by providing the supporting documents.

CSIS has seized my laptop and I can’t even login. Has anyone ever experienced this before? “CSIS observatory van 3” is anyone here familiar with this and what that means ?
I am shocked they are spending this much time on a person that can’t and won’t hurt a fly.

Were you at the border? Why did they seize your laptop?

Hi, KYC is done in all the countries through different channels (Bank, Credit, Trading, SIN, etc). CSIS looks for Criminal Record history in your birth or other country of residence where you have stayed more than 6 months. This record check is performed by searching ur Name (First Name and Last Name) and D.O.B in other countries KYC system and it should match exactly as you have provided in your citizenship document.
For other North American Countries, Canada can access their system without any other permissions. But for other countries, for which Canada doesn't have permission to validate the record check, they verify through Background check agencies.

Hi everyone, just joined the group. Hope we all get the BC completed soon.

Here is my application details:
Application sent: 2024-02-23
AOR: 2024-02-23

March 27, 2024: Citizenship Test updated to In Progress
April 5: Citizenship Test scheduled
April 8: Citizenship test completed
July 8: Language and Physical presence completed

No updates since then. Pending background check and prohibitions (it's been 14 months since AOR)

Contacted IRCC multiple times, apparently the SS started on March 2024 (13 months since it's started)
Filled a webform two weeks ago to separate my spouse's application (her application is complete pending mine).
Contacted MP, they did not even respond. Thinking of mandamus route if I don't hear by June.

By June, it will be 16 months since you applied. Most lawyers will tell you that it's still too short. Most mandamus approvals in CanLII have been cases for people who waited for years. If you want to do it in the hope of seeing IRCC and CSIS speed up the process after ALJR or the applicant's record, well, it's up to you, but if your goal is to get actual mandamus relief, that's probably unrealistic at this point.

Thanks @Seym, tbh, I haven't done a thorough research on this mandamus thing to see what it is and how it works, I saw someone did it in that 16-18 month mark. Thought I might do the same if I don't hear. I guess it's done in three steps and it takes about a year to get the relief. If the process forces the IRCC and CSIS to speed up the case, why not! If doesn't work, it'll be in 2-3 year mark by the time I get to the third step of it anyway. Idk, let's see how it goes.

according to CanLII, after how many months do you think doing mandamus can be useful?

Hi, I checked regarding the mandamus and it is done is 2 steps.

Step 1 : Filing Citizenship Form IR-1 in Federal Court. Total Cost is $50
Step 2 : If no decision letter is received from IRCC, then proceed with the following steps,
1- Submit a document including your Application for leave & Judicial review (Stamped letter from the court), notice of no decision, affidavit, Exhibits, memorandum, language
2- Notarize the affidavit and the first page of each exhibit
3- Compiled all in pdf with the References & bookmarks in pdf
4- Send it to the IRCC lawyer, IRCC office, DOJ

Did your lawyer charge 4K only for helping Step 2 or step 2 was taken care by yourself ?

Thank You
