    July 2025 AOR

    Mandamus is assessed based on overall unreasonable delay, not simply because background check has been ongoing for X months. Courts look at the total timeline of the application, the complexity of the case, whether IRCC has justification (e.g. security screening), and whether the applicant...

    July 2025 AOR

    What did your GCMS notes say about the security type? You’re still within (or close to) the standard processing time. The only concern would be if your application was sent for comprehensive security screening, which takes longer to process, and that should be indicated in your notes. I wouldn't...

    No Last Name - Application Status Tracker account registration help needed

    You can create a tracker account once the application is fully loaded into IRCC’s system. For many people, that effectively happens after biometrics are given, which is why you’ll often see advice to wait for the BIL before registering. That said, some applicants are able to access the tracker...

    Losing confidence in my immigration lawyer for Express Entry but maybe he's right

    Just my personal opinion: I think some of this extra caution may be because IRCC has been scrutinizing cases more closely where applicants listed a spouse as non-accompanying mainly to get a higher CRS score. Changing a spouse to accompanying before e-APR may be ok, but officers may still look...

    July 2025 AOR

    No updates for me. I will order CBSA notes again in another month or so to see if there has been any progress. And the tracker “ghost updates” are often triggered by backend or automated system activity, so I don’t think it necessarily signals anything meaningful.

    Same. 6 months since AOR, 4 months since comprehensive security screening started.

    GCMS shows 'Security Screening' and waiting... - let's gather here!

    I ordered mine in November and received in December after around 27 days. Maybe it has been delayed because of the holidays?

    ADR - Military Records

    Confirmed application is with CBSA for the comprehensive security check. No updates otherwise.

    July 2025 AOR

    My AOR is July 21. I got the tracker update on October 3 which is also the date it was sent to CBSA. So 2.5 months so far? Yes I'm also from the middle east. For me in was also because of my military service. Sometimes it might even be random. I Understand that it is frustrating and I was...

    July 2025 AOR

    I'm in the same kind of situation as you. Got two ADRs and then the "Background changed to in progress" update after the second ADR. This update as far as I can tell is a tell that application is sent for comprehensive security check, which I confirmed recently when I got my GCMS notes. I'm...

    preview score after ITA

    It's a known fact that the work experience points are updated a month sooner, so it is up to you to make sure you have enough work hours for any work experience. The system is adding that to your score because you have listed this experience in the work history section of your application. If...

    Send updated original document

    Make sure you submit the original document as well if it needs to be translated. Based on what you just mentioned sounds like the document you had submitted was not the original. Also, goes without saying, but note that everything shared here is based on personal experience and opinions. Take...

    Send updated original document

    Did you receive a request letter in the portal? or was this an email? I think for requests sent through email there may not be an upload field. In that case, you can submit the document through a webform. The agent would then add it to the application manually. See this link...
