    Have you considered filing a Writ of Mandamus with the courts? 2.5 years is unreasonable delay and not within IRCC’s advertised average processing times for PR applicants.

    Hi! Yes, that’s confirmation that your application is undergoing additional background checks and what this forum refers to as comprehensive security screening. Check your CBSA notes to determine when your security screening start date is. It takes anywhere from 3 months to over a year after...

    I would include something to the effect of: I am requesting information related to my cousin’s application for Permanent Residence.

    Best way to confirm if you are under comprehensive security screening is to request ATIP notes from CSIS. The turn around is usually quick. I got mine in one week via post.
