AOR May 15th,2023 my eligibility is under Review required for not able to verify Canadian employer online presence - i gave all T4, pay stubs too.

before Yesterday my Security was not started but yesterday they passed my Security and criminality but still eligibility is under review required per IRCC agent so I am confuse How come they passed security before passing eligibility???

is that something happens as trend is usually eligibility gets completed and then security starts in my case its opposite.

or it might be possible agent wont see status change till senior officer finalizes my application that when eligibility gets changed to passed?

Yes, you are correct. The BGC (Background Check & Security Screening) is comprised of two parts:
  • Criminality Check: This is a check of your criminal history. It is done to ensure that you have not been convicted of any crimes that would make you inadmissible to Canada.
  • Security Screening: This is a check of your security status. It is done to ensure that you are not a security threat to Canada.
The BGC status will change twice during the application process. The first change will occur when the criminality check is in progress. This is usually early in the application process. The status will then change to "Not Applicable" once the criminality check has been completed.

The second change will occur when the security screening is in progress. This is usually towards the end of the application process. The status will then change to "Completed" once the security screening has been completed.

Only after both, the criminality and security checks are done, the BGC is conclusively passed.

I hope this information is helpful.

Status update:

Ordered CBSA notes on December 2023, significant changes compared to March 2023:


1. Due date pushed forward to Jan 1, 2024
2. Exemption from disclosure reduced from s19,s21,s22,s26 to s21
3. Security Screening page vanished
4. In notes say "case under review on December 8, 2023"
5. Office location changed from "RROC FSW" to "RROC FSW ADM"

I think it might be that my security screening has returned from CBSA and is waiting for the final admissibility review.

I hope you guys are doing well with your case.

Dear @legalfalcon , can I assume that they have finished third-party investigation? Given these changes in CBSA notes.

My application was submitted on Nov 5 2022, inland, FSW. Eligibility was approved in May 2023, Criminality in July 2023, but apparently, we are going through Enhanced Security Screening. I have already sent webforms, contacted the MP (who confirmed we are going through additional security screening process). I asked for CBSA notes two times: on the first one, my (principal applicant) sub activities status was blank, and my spouse's was " in progress by CBSA". On the second one, received in December 2023, my subactivity status was "received by CBSA" and my spouse's was blank. Additionally, I required CSIS for the status of the application Security Screening in between the CBSA notes requests. My spouse's screening was finished as of July 2023, mine was still in progress (in early December). I asked again CSIS for an update on the application's security screening, but that is due on Feb 12th. Could you provide some insights into where we are currently standing regarding the security screening process?

1.due date is useless since it could be changed anytime.
2. Acts change from time to time, but it seems good news if they are reduced
3. It appears and vanish all the time
4. No idea
5. It might be good news, my friend and I believe it might due to CSIS has sent their result to CBSA. My location was RROC team A for a long time. Recently it change to RROC FSW ADM.

The only thing for security screening is waiting. Or you can writ mandamus, while that still could not have a result since IRCC has the reason of ongoing security screening...

I just got my latest CSIS notes, saying they are still "in progress". I think since May.
Is reaching out the Director of CSIS worth it? does it work at all?
