Hi everyone,
I would appreciate your advice, I submitted my citizenship application in Feb 2025 and IRCC completed all the necessary assessments (language, criminality, test, presence, and prohibition), except for security (which has been pending since May 2025)



Earlier this year (2026-03-20), I submitted an Application for leave through a lawyer. IRCC responded that the application is under security screening with an external partner, and no time estimation can be done (response early may). Since then, nothing has happened. Is there any one in my situation? any groups for the applications which is taking so long in background and security?

I submitted my application in June 2025, and everything was completed by November 2025, except for Background/Prohibitions.

Since then, I have requested several GCMS notes and even had my MP make an inquiry. However, every response has been the same: my application is currently under security screening, and the process is outside IRCC's control.

Honestly, it feels like a black hole. Nobody can provide a clear timeline or say when the screening will be completed. All you can do is wait, wait, and wait. It's extremely frustrating.
