The BGC will change twice. First when your criminality is in progress, which is fairly early in the application, and then will go back to not applicable. It will then again change to in progress, after eligibility has been passed and when security screening is in progress. This is usually at the end of the application processing.

If your application BGC has seen a change twice, then your application is nearing an end.
Hi there, my eligibility is recommended passed from May 30 and my background check changed to “we are processing “ on July 14 but when I called on July 26 they said eligibility hadn’t been passed by a final officer yet.

Is it possible my eligibility was finally passed but the ircc agent can’t see it on their end?

Hello i am in the same boat. I have applied for citizenship and i ordered cbsa notes and it says CIT CSIS Screening - Pending results. There has been no movement since last 5 months. Is there something i can do or just keep on waiting? Security Clearance - In progress since March as well.

Guys I have attached a photo from security section of my gcms note.
https://ibb.co/bKKD5XP
The latest note is ‘’ security data entry completed and submitted’’ and the status is: PS-Sec-Pend which assigned to an officer which I can see his administrative code.

Do you think they sent me to comprehensive security screening?! Since I saw a guy gcms note which had the note ‘’ security data entry completed and submitted’’ and they sent him for comprehensive ss.
But as per the security section, I cannot see any act or name of cbsa or csis.

Update: Turns out CSIS is investigating me as well :mad: I plan to file for mandamus early next year, when the application is a year old and the screening eight months old
How did you find out they were also screening you? My CBSA notes only mention that it is in progress for my spouse and there is a blank in my sub-activity status.

My file has been stuck at security since Feb 2023. In my CBSA notes under security it mentions "Previous review validity has expired. C-check in progress". Does anyone know what that means?

TIA

How did you find this out? Also any movement on your file?
