What is info sharing?
What kind of info they share and with who?

Information Sharing - The primary purpose of information sharing is to check the criminal history, human rights and terrorism related issues at partner countries. The object of information-sharing is to support the effective administration and enforcement of Canada’s citizenship and immigration programs including, but not limited to, such matters as:
  • travel to Canada, authorization to enter into Canada, the investigation of matters relating to program abuse, criminality, public safety and health, the coordination and streamlining of enforcement cases and the sharing of services and facilities, i.e., those used for detention purposes;
  • the selection of foreign nationals, issuance of visas, protection of refugees, integration of newcomers, support of provincial and territorial immigration programs and settlement services;
  • the support of Canada’s public safety and security objectives with respect to the management of the global movement of people and combating international terrorism, war crimes, crimes against humanity and organized crime.
At times in the GCMS notes an applicant may see "Info Sharing: System Error" All this means is that either no information was found or a technical error occurred in accessing the information. Associated with this you may also see the comments "Contact GCMS Helpdesk or Proceed with processing the application, at the VO's discretion"

So is info sharing the same stage as criminality or it’s part of security

Criminality (part of Background check)
Info Sharing (part of Background check)
Security (part of Background check)
but whenever I called CIC agent they never mentioned info sharing so it has to be part of either security or criminality they just mention this everytime you get in touch eligibility,criminality ,security and medical

You have to ask specifically about Info Sharing. They will tell you if its completed or not. Its a part of backgroud check.

Congrats to everyone who got DMs

Looks like the new wave of Dm's has started and soon COPR will as well.

Still for myself and few others stuck only on Security 'Not Started' is a question when will it start. #HopeNotLost.
