    no it's the same, although depending on the agent working on your request there might be small changes in what security info gets redacted

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Just make an ATIP request to CBSA - they use the same gcms system and I've found that CBSA are usually faster in responding.

    PGP 2022 - Primary applicant(Father) no more

    I've seen one previous case from someone who also applied in 2022. He submitted a webform letting them know and asking if his mother could be made primary applicant. He didn't hear anything from IRCC and then contacted his MP who helped move things along. 3 months later his mom got her PPR.

    Security screening type A34: comprehensive

    In my case CSIS completed their processing in 3 months and sent their recommendation to CBSA in August 2023. 3 years later and CBSA have done nothing but put application on hold due to "verification activity" with external partners.

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    I think it's related to security, because that's the only step remaining. Gcms notes show that CBSA are waiting for something from their external security partners but doesn't specify what exactly. CSQs were obtained in 2022 and all other steps (eligibility, criminality, medical) have passed.

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    something similar happened to me - and gcms notes showed that application went from "In Progress" to "On Hold - Verification activity". this was back in Jan 2025. 18 months later and it's still on hold. I submitted the application in Nov 2021.

    I received a separate request letter from IRCC asking for the CSQ + other additional documents. However, my sponsor eligibility letter did state the following: Provincial Requirements for Residents of Quebec If you are a resident of the province of Québec, you must submit an undertaking...

    You have to wait for IRCC to send you a letter confirming you passed eligibility as a sponsor and instructing you to apply for the CSQ.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

    I'm in a similar situation. I applied in Nov 2021, and the background check started in May 2023 - it's been almost 3 years now. Everything else is completed except for security screening for 1 parent.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    It didn't do anything for us unfortunately, I tried last year. The application hasn't moved at all since then. I think I might have to try a writ of mandamus application as a last resort - even though I have very little faith it will work since CBSA has even less accountability than IRCC.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    Same boat - it has become depressing having no updates at all. GCMS notes showing no progress either - still stuck at security screening since May 2023.
