Applied for the IRCC

I got my CBSA notes in Jan but nothing helpful there. No blank or redacted stuff. Just SS clearance in progress

technically you can apply for as many agencies as you want, it doesn't really change anything.

CSIS stopped responding to those requests, also when they were responding - there was not much useful info there - generic letter saying we can't disclose anything to you because of such and such...
CBSA notes are similar to IRCC ones, but usually have more un-redacted info, and delivered in 30 days timeframe (IRCC may respond in couple of months)
