Hey Bro,

I have similar experience and learned from GCMS notes that I was selected to be SS since April 2017. Have you got PPR yet?

For me, I am still waiting for them to clear my security screening. Hope to get your good news.

Glad to hear that and congrats! Hopefully I will got the PPR soon. BTW, do you know how to get information about SS status? cause from GCMS notes, the section of Security Screening is all in blank.

There is no way to get SS details. But you can get CSIS & CBSA notes. They are both involved with your SS clearance. At least CSIS report mentioned, if they have completed their part and sent report to CBSA team. I guess my CSIS & CBSA notes request triggered my clearance from SS or made them work on my case. :)

Do you happen to know if security activity was updated from Not Started to blank, does that mean security check has initiated?
I'm trying to figure out if my security check has started based on my gcms notes. It didn't show any start date.

Thanks for ur info, bro.
Do you mean it is also possible to get ATIP or Privacy Act electronic notes from CSIS & CBSA? I hear from someone else that the CSIS only accepts ATIP request in mail instead of electronic email, i don't whether it is true. Actually I have mailed them weak ago but not get response yet.

Earlier CSIS were taking only fax / mail requests. Since Jan-2018, they have cancelled old method and went for ATIP route. But both these notes have very long processing time. I received my CSIS & CBSA notes after 4+ months.

Congrats on receiving PPR, how many PCC did you had?
