December 2024 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter trackerCan-Cit
- Start date
You got ATIP notes from CBSA or IRCC?
Look for the location status... And then a section on background verification where you can see RCMP etc. I am guessing you're stuck in security clearance that's why you are still pending from Dec 2024 AOR
Location Says: Grant Clearance Pending. There is a due date of April 26, not sure what that means. Office says CPC Sydney It also says prohibition snot started with a due date of December 2025. So i guess the due dates don't mean anything. It also mentions criminality is passed. Under security its says Type: Security clearance and then nothing else after that. I am not sure if this is from IRCC or CBSA. Nothing is redacted at all. Not sure what to make of any of this.
How long did it take? They ignored my last application (admittedly I forgot to include my citizenship app number) now the second one is taking 20 days
Grant clearance pending means it is pending clearance from security screening.... Its not in ircc hands but with CSIS.
Due date April 26 means that ircc will open the application on April 26. If they've received clearance from CSIS by that time you'll move forward otherwise a new date will be entered when ircc will check back.
Since you cannot see anything under security clearance the notes are from ircc which Redacts this information or keep it blank. Get notes from cbsa and you'll see the full picture.

Quick question for those who've sent web form inquiries for stalled citizenship apps:
When asking about a file stuck at "Background check and prohibition" with no updates for months:
→ Did a SHORT message (2-3 sentences) work better?
→ Or a MORE DETAILED message (bullet points, TIMELINE, specific questions)?
Context: Applied Sep 2024, last update Feb 10, 2025, now past 13-month processing time.
Thanks for sharing your experience!

You can do both. Nothing will work as it's with CSIS and not with IRCC. You'll get a generic reply anyways
Thanks! I've heard web form/ATIP can still help build a paper trail for potential mandamus down the line. Does that still hold true when CSIS is involved, or does it change the equation ( in terms of detailed vs short message)?
Thanks again!
