Well.. I definitely understand your frustration and I can relate to your situation.

This is maybe the 'curse' of being born with an x citizenship. You didn't choose it. You didn't do anything wrong. YET, it is having its toll on you no matter what.
Because you are originally from this x country, your security screening takes ages, not because you have done something wrong, but only because it happened that you are a citizen of that country.

This was my case during the refugee claim. It took +20 months to get my security screening completed.

I read in the forum that there are economic immigrants whose files are stuck in security screening for +12 months, ONLY because again it happened that they were born in x country.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done when it comes to national security concerns. Nobody can do anything, no MP, no lawyer, not even the prime minister himself.. Again.. not because you are bad or you did something wrong..

But it will be over soon.. Hopefully IRCC will be able to find a way to get the background check completed with all different entities involved in a streamlined manner that on the one hand does not compromise Canada's national security and on the other hand it will aligns to the optimistic targets of the one-time initiative.

Stay strong man!

Ask Google Sir!

I asked Google for you, below is the answer:

While Canada officially states that security screening is universal and based on individual risk factors rather than nationality alone, data and expert reports indicate that applicants from certain countries are significantly more likely to undergo Comprehensive Security Screening.

Countries Frequently Subject to Comprehensive Screening

Official immigration data and secondary reports identify several countries whose nationals are disproportionately affected by additional security checks due to geopolitical concerns:
  • China
    : Historically makes up one of the largest volumes of security screening requests sent to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
  • Iran
    : Along with
    China
    , Iranian nationals consistently represent a major portion (over one-third combined in past data) of all security screening referrals.
  • Middle Eastern & Conflict Zones: Applicants from countries currently in conflict or with high geopolitical tension, such as
    Syria
    ,
    Iraq
    , and
    Afghanistan
    , often face longer screening durations—sometimes taking 4 to 12 months compared to standard processing.
  • Others: Nations in Eastern Europe and parts of Asia identified as having "geopolitical proximity" to Canada's security concerns are also frequently flagged for deeper scrutiny.
Factors That Trigger Extra Screening
Regardless of nationality, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) may refer any file to CSIS and CBSA for comprehensive review if specific "risk indicators" are met:
  • Government or Military Service: Employment history with foreign governments, intelligence agencies, or military branches.
  • High-Tech Fields: Work or study in sensitive areas like nuclear physics, biological sciences, or advanced aerospace.
  • Travel History: Extensive travel to or residency in conflict zones or countries with high security risks.
  • Inconsistencies: Discrepancies between biographic data provided in different application stages or against Migration 5 partner databases (US, UK, Australia, New Zealand).
  • Mandatory Requirements: 100% of in-Canada refugee claimants are automatically subject to comprehensive security screening.

Im from iraq
Inland claimand in canada
Is this accurate?
 
Last time, nots was requested in October 30, 2025. It says not started , later I called IRCC so many times talked agents but still same. Do you think I may order Nots again? Or wait …

Sure, almost 6 months since last time you requested them.
Agents never said important things during callings. It is discouraging. Now with the initiative, probably your file will show movements. Good luck!

There is a pilot program. Some countries are included, others not. If your country is included, they will ask for some documents of your family. But you must get PR before they get their PR, could take some months after you.
Look in the ircc webpage about the pilot and which countries are included.
 
When your gcms note shows security started?

Never.
I requested for my husband file, and I received it the day before to got the portal1.
In that document appears principal applicant started security. But in my ircc account never showed security started.
