I am applying for BCPNP since 2022 July and have passed eligibility since Feb 15 and received pre-arrival letter on the same day. I received notes from IRCC and CBSA, hope to find out if I am under regular security check or comprehensive security check which means it will last for more than 6 months.

Received my notes from CBSA on May 1. It says

Eligibility - Passed
Criminality: Passed
Meds: Passed
Info sharing: complete
Security: in progress

with the latest note: "Security Data Entry Complete and Submitted."(Created date 2023/04/18) and "File reviewed. Security in progress."(Created date 2023/04/14)


Received my notes from IRCC on May 15. It says


Eligibility: Passed
Security: (it is blank)
HIRV:
Criminality: Passed
Org Crime: Medical: Passed
Info Sharing: Complete
OtherRegs:
Final:

Received a mail with two papers from CSIS last week that says Security Assessments/Advice (CSIS PPU 005): Your Security Screening case is still in progress.

Just wondering if I am under the comprehensive security check which is conducted by both CSIS and CBSA or just under the regular check by CSIS?

Hi, did anyone get any update regarding security? CSIS security checks seem like a blackhole, no updates and there's no way to check what's causing the holdup. Did anyone's security check pass which was stuck with CSIS?

I applied on 16th June 2022, my file has been in security check since May 2023. For security check, my CBSA notes say "in progress" and CSIS notes "Your Security Screening case is still in progress. The information has been exempted from disclosure by virtue of one or more of sections 21 (as it relates to the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities), 22(1 )(a), 22(l)(b) and 26 of the Act until your case is completed."

Is there anything we can do? Like this is absurd there's no timeline for security check and even if it exceeds the processing time IRCC is like we can't do anything

Isn't that a costly option? I am also eligible for CEC EE not sure if I should go via that route. Also do you know anyone else with a similar timeline stuck in security?

it is costly, but it is better than waiting and dying due to depression, there are a lot of people stuck in security checks with CEC EE profiles,
if you want to wait you can wait it could take 1 day to 2 years or maybe more, unfortunately they don't have any timeline for security checks
