    It will just say what type it is on your security sub activities, a normal security check will say CIT CSIS Screening, and a comprehensive check will cite the specific section of the citizenship act they are checking for

    yes, you will be able to know if your security is a comprehensive check from GCMS

    I know many cases like that. If someone’s from a country with security red flag they’d usually know that’s the reason - other than that, IRCC also conducts random checks/interviews for “quality control” purposes, these may well be more common than actual red flags. There are also backlog/human...

    Current processing times (chart by month with applicants ahead)

    Seems like there is an explosion of applications in July unexplainable by normal decay/application dynamics, I think it’s due to COVID era delayed PR applications, at that time most apps were taking longer than usual until they started streamlining everything to approve backlogged people in...

    Same situation as many of us here — no officer assigned seems to be the issue. I wonder if it’s because they need to review our background check, or is it just an administrative error/slowdown.

    Your information about storage is not true. PM03 and PM01 are government pay tiers. Read: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/committees/secu-september-19-2024/citizenship.html In general if your officer is PM03 it indicates more scrutiny. I am in...

    It’s true in a way but it’s negligible, when you have an active request (before it’s returned to you) they cannot process your application beyond certain points, but when they are not working on it anyways, it doesn’t matter. It also doesn’t matter if they are already working on it but not yet...

    Yes my file is PM01 review ready but no officer assigned, they received my stuff from CSIS but have not marked my background as complete yet

    Same, have you requested GCMS notes from CBSA?

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Nope, but it seems like it’s one of the common reasons of being stuck: nobody is even working on our files

    What does it say under “APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT”? Is there an officer?

    Agree with them being useless, they know even less than the average person in this thread and even sometimes lie. The notes are the only source of truth. It’s probably better to order notes from CBSA as soon as possible to know what’s going on. Although it probably doesn’t help, my conclusion...

    On the same boat, Aug 30 was only ghost update for you?

    Grant review ready pm01

    You cannot apply reason to IRCC, it is one of the most incompetent government agencies. They may do another security for no reason, or they may have just forgotten about your file (many such cases!). I have been in Canada for 10 years and they have already received my results from CSIS on Aug...
