    Not sure what your question is. If you are concerned about the time, family sponsorships can take 10-12 months. Also, it will vary from application to application. It's too early for you to worry.

    There is no way to escalate. Delays with IRCC are common and as per IRCC's own statistics, 30% of all GCMS notes are delayed as per last year's data and before that, 50% were delayed. Just wait.

    That is what that note indicates to check for your prior refusals. IRCC will review the reasons for prior refusals, including for misrepresentations, and checking if the information you provided previously and not matches.

    GCMS notes are the same from IRCC and CBSA. However, each agency makes different redactions. Most CBSA notes will not redact security screening details, and some other aspects of the notes. For details see https://shorturl.at/me8bY

    CBSA and CSIS only become relevant after your eligibility has passed, and you are stuck in security screening. If your eligibility is not passed, the application has not even started security screening and has not been sent to CBSA / CSIS.

    Each application progresses at its own pace. There is no first-come, first-served when it comes to IRCC. Since your AoR is April 2025, wait for another 2-3 months, and then you can request GCMS notes to see the processing details. No need to be concerned.
