I requested ATIP report from CBSA and instead of giving notes of my security screening and immigration file they just mailed me my travel history of entering and exiting Canada (exit only if I go by land). Thankfully the travel history report had a cover letter with the name and contact info of an actual officer of the CBSA, I'll contact them and ask for the information I really requested.
You have to write exactly what you want in the form. If you just ask them for info, this is what they give, which is their regular response as many applicants who file their citizenship application, need it.

Usually 35 days post AoR the R10 (completeness) is done. Then it is followed by criminality, medicals, eligibility and security. https://www.getgcms.com/blog/tag/completeness/

So 35 days is a good time to order your first set, and then based on what you get, you can order more.

IS there any difference between security checks for spousal visa applicants and all other classes mentioned in this google form?

form is for everyone under security screening. classes such as economic or family dont matter much.
I meant to say, with perspective to CIC, is there any difference between security screening procedures for spouse class and PNP, EE etc?

short answer is no (agency invlved in conducting ss will employ same investigative methodology for everyone irrespective of the class the app belongs to). since this is legalfalcons thread, i will leave it to him to answer the questions that are posed in this thread.

@shaheerjaved @wmate The procedure is the same. If you read the first page of this thread, I have explained how this is done, but since it is highly secretive, there is not much information available.
