Does travelling to North Korea affect background check result (security screening)?

Current status is IP, not sure 1 or 2. Been stuck with this status for almost 2 months. I'm getting worried that CSIS is conducting security screening on me because I had gone on a guided tour to North Korea (DPRK) last Nov for 4 days. It is reflected on my Travel History.

Is North Korea considered a highly sensitive destination for Canada? Anyone knows the chances for security screening, and how long it would usually take if it is the case? Is the GCMS note the only way to find out whether I'm being investigated?

Thanks in advance! Any advice would help!

North Korea is definitely on a global watchlist. You should order for GCMS notes right away.
