No not yet when I called ircc told me might take 2 month or so , am 2019 applicants still waiting
That's just sad, someone waiting for it that long when they are opening so many new pilot visa programs, when they didn't even finish processing the old files. All for the votes.

cbsa notes might be of help but trust me csis notes mean nothing, its useless to order notes from csis. your criminality is passed so dont worry about csis. Your residency requirements are being checked. Tfr clearances means file transferred for clearances, only worry about it if you have 2 "Eligibility- residency" showing in your notes.
Question:

Even if criminality is passed, security clearance is still pending. I was under the impression that BG check consists of 2 things: Criminality check by RCMP and security clearance by CSIS/CBSA. Once both criminality and security clearance are passed, BG check is marked completed.

Please correct me if I'm wrong in this assumption

You mentioned in mentioned about NPR days ? What is that..

I didn't see anything like Tfr Clearances, apart from that, there is only one "Eligibility - Residence" in my GCMS notes and that started on April 25, 2022, and i think for this update, i got ghost update on April 26, 2022.

How much do they take usually for this step ?

I thought eligibility - residence / language / prohibitons, as they all three gets updated together, so i thought they all 3 starts to in progress together, but in my case only one field gets to in progress.

But why call centre agent mix eligibility - residence with security clearance ? Last time, i called on May 9 and at that time too, they told me its in security clearance. however, when i got my notes on may 13, i saw that those were generated on May 10, and my call record date for may 9 was included in gcms notes. 3 times i have called them till date, all 3 were in GCMS notes.
