Following up with CSISsavinca said:
If you think the background check is taking too long, first you must ensure that your file is indeed with CSIS for the background check. The easiest way to do this is to call the CIC call centre. Alternatively, you can order your FOSS notes.
To follow up with CSIS, you must forward your complaint in writing (in a formal letter) to the Director of CSIS at:
Director
Canadian Security Intelligence Service
P.O. Box 9732, Station T
Ottawa, ON K1G 4G4
Alternatively, the fax number for the director's office is: +1 613 231 0437
The director must respond to your letter within 30 days of receipt.
If you are not satisfied with the Director's response, you can then submit another complaint to the watchdog agency that oversees CSIS, the federal Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC).
You can send your inquiry in writing to:
Security Intelligence Review Committee
P.O. Box 2430, Station D
Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5W5
or by fax to: +1 613 990 5230
You can also call SIRC between 8am to 5pm EST to +1 613 990 8441 Collect calls are accepted.
I wouldn't complain. But I would consider faxing them a request to see if your bg check has been completed. I've read of people doing this before and discovering the background check has already been completed. You will prob need to provide a piece of ID etc etc.
