Yes, exactly.
In my GCMS notes, security was still marked as Not Started, while criminality and information sharing were in progress at that time.
However, two days after the GCMS snapshot, my IRCC online account changed to “We are processing your background check.”
This suggests that internal background-related activities moved forward after the GCMS notes were generated. Since GCMS notes are only a point-in-time snapshot, they can lag behind real-time updates.
As you know, the IRCC account doesn’t show security separately, it only shows the overall background check, which includes criminality, info sharing, and security.
That is good to hear

Hi bro
I’d like to ask you about the criminality check
I have submitted my application PR for protected persons in Jan 2024
My criminality check it’s still in progress for almost 2 years when I searched about why they said it’s because of your fingerprint quality is poor
Is that happened to you as well?
My info sharing is passed by the way

Yeah, I figured that out in GCMS note in criminality section
In terms of the fingerprint quality, I searched in Google and ChatGPT and they said it may be because of your fingerprint quality, but this is not an official information
I tried to reach them out ((IRCC)) and they said we don’t need anything from you if we need something we will let you know
