Hi folks,

Looking for some advice as I have explored all avenues to get information from IRCC and all have been unfruitful (GCMS notes pending but doubt those will have an impact)

I applied with my wife and son: son on wife’s application, linked their application to mine. We got the test invite in September and cleared by end September.

On November 7, my status got updated to all items cleared with only citizenship oath pending. My wife got a fingerprint request which were submitted and received by IRCC on December 2, 2024. Since then her background check and prohibitions has been in progress.

What I find odd is why her background check is taking so long, as due to the nature of my job, I have had to her background check completed as well: not regular background check, detailed one where they ask whereabouts of parents, siblings, their employment, employment proofs and legal ids.

I tried calling but they said just said that they have all information required. I tried the web form as well. They say that I am still within the average processing time but they just keep on increasing the average time month on month so that statement is stale.

any information anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Hello, I have a similar timeline as yours. Linked application, my wife's application is ready after completed bg and security check. Both of these are still in progress for me. No update, MP called IRCC but they said they can't provide any update for non-routine application timelines.
 
hello guys!
I am not sure if my case is in SS or not. Could you please share some insights?
I got my GCMS today, and it shows as follows.
CLEARANCE REQUEST(S):
RCMP/CSIS: Y
also, it says:
CLEARANCES
SECURITY
SECURITY:1
UCI#
NAMES
TYPE: SECURITY CLEARANCE

I submitted my application in late March 2025, and only the test was completed; everything else was in process.

Most probably security clearance. Do you see anywhere it is mentioned CSIS?
