I haven’t left Canada in over six years and haven’t hidden anything from them. I’m an academic, far removed from that kind of activity. But my country is a conflict zone.
Did they request this from you? If so, how long did it take?

There is no dependent listed. It says "Received by CBSA" in February 2025. I’ve been waiting 28 months, and I’m getting frustrated. Does that mean a shorter processing time? Any thoughts?
 
Hello everyone,
I submitted my application in March 2023. In my GCMS notes, I saw that a comprehensive security screening (A34) was requested in February 2025. I thought this screening was normal until I read a comment that made me concerned.
I don’t understand why it was requested, as I’m a peaceful person, never involved in the military, and have done nothing wrong.
Is this type of screening common for all protected persons, or just for me? Has anyone else gone through it? How long did it take? I’ve heard it can take 17 months or more—is that true?
Thank you.
Can u share proper timeline
Like when u receive eligibility
And share ur assement from GCMS notes like u passed or pending
And most important thing is which COUNTRY u originally from.
So will find out to help.

My eligibility was completed in May 2024, and nothing changed until February 2025, when info sharing, medical, and criminality were marked as complete.
Security was created back in August 2023, but no action was taken until February 2025, when they requested a comprehensive screening (A34). I thought this was normal until I read comments in this group asking about (A34). I thought everyone had it
Does anyone know how long this usually takes to complete?

Dear madam or sir which country u originally from where everyone asking u to help u out.
 
Yes — that’s pretty common.



“Security Screening Type: Comprehensive (A34)” just means IRCC flagged the application for the standard, in-depth security screening under section A34 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (which deals with security inadmissibility).





It does not mean there’s a problem. Many applicants (especially in protected person streams or from certain countries) see this note — it’s just part of routine security checks done by CBSA/CSIS.





How long it takes varies, but in most cases it’s cleared in 6–12 months (often sooner), and you’ll see in GCMS:


✅ Security Status: Passed





If you’re at the final stage and your security already says Passed, you don’t need to worry about this line — it was just the type of screening applied.
