Yes, I moved from Quebec at the beginning of 2025.I applied in November 2022.It started at the beginning of January 2026.Yes, I traveled for one month.
A34 screening usually takes one to two years from the start of the screening process. You may consider applying for mandamus if it has taken more than two years. Other than that, there is not much you can do, especially after moving from Quebec. Let us hope that the one-time initiative will help increase the processing speed.
 
“I am a protected person PR applicant.My security screening started on March 26, 2026. I have a high travel history but only short stays in different countries. How long does this stage usually take? Also, based on this kind of travel history, is it typically standard or comprehensive screening?”
 
can you tell your overseas dependents timeline?
it is complicated cause I added my spouse a year after I applied. but after additional document request we did not receive anything.
btw, for everyone who sees their security not started. mine was the same last week, apparently they do not share security screening process for privacy reasons.
