Am I under comprehensive security screening?

[Ponga]

The only “red flag” I have is that I’m from Russia and worked there for a couple of years. I don’t know if that counts as a red flag nowadays.

This may, or may not, shed light on your question:

There is somewhat older thread here : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...-a-background-check-in-depth-analysis.500146/

It introduces a lot of information about background check.

@legalfalcon who is himself an imm. lawyer, tells a lot about Background check. That being said, the thread is now almost 8 years old.

Guys, can you please let me know how to read GCMS notes to find if one is under comprehensive security screening ?

in the security section it will be pretty explicit if it’s comprehensive. once it’s started or at least sent for security screening, there’s “security screening type” and it will say comprehensive

Thanks for your reply. I got 2 ADRs with below wordings any guess?
1st ADR- POF: "We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents"
2nd ADR - Offer of Employment : "In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents"

This sounds VERY unusual for family class sponsorship? Are they asking offer of employment for the sponsor to proof that he/she is returning to Canada?
PA being sponsored by PR/citizen doesn't need a job nor IRCC care about if they work or not.

My apologies, my category is not Family Class Sponsorship. It is FSW EE under PNP nominee program. Sorry if I had asked in wrong group.

Then I have no idea. I am not familiar with PNP (FSW)

I applied March 6th for common-law inland sponsorship. AOR March 21st. Everything except background check was done by mid-May. Silence until October.

Now these are the updates I had in October:

• October 3 - Tracker added a line for pre-arrival service letter, dated May 10th
• October 4 - Ghost update in Tracker
• October 28 - Ghost update in Tracker. GCkey Additional Documents changed from “We received” to “Not Applicable”
• October 29 - Ghost update in Tracker
• October 30 - Ghost update in GCKey
• October 31 - Tracker added a line dated October 30 that Background verification is in progress even though it’s been “in progress” since AOR

I have contacted my MP, they said security screening is in progress but criminality is done.

What I worry about that maybe I am under comprehensive security and doomed to wait like another year for my PR. I am stressed, anxious and devastated. All the March application are receiving their FDs and P1/P2 emails and I am still stuck in background check. I don’t know what to think or do about it.

If anyone has heard of anything similar, please let me know.

Any updates?

I'm in the same boat, February applicant, i think too that I'm in comprehensive screening, let's update each others if there is any update.

What about you?

Hi, is there any update now since it's already one year since the background check as I am in similar wait . Mine entered background check July 2024 and no update since then. GCMS showed it's under comprehensive security check. I don't have any military or paramilitary experience hence wondering what must have led to this. Please advise if yours have been answered.

same boat.
received GCMS notes yesterday showing below
- Jan 17th 2025, CPC officer review approved security assessment.
- Jan 17th 2025, security screen status in progress
- Jan 22nd 2025, received by CBSA
- Due date, Feb 16th 2025. but no update until May 2025.

My understanding is my case enters comprehensive security screening by CBSA on Jan 17th. Am I right?
Thanks guys.

In your GCMS note under Security, check the created date,updated date and Due date. That tells you when the security was sent, when they got information last and due date they expect update. This should clarify when it was sent for security check.
