Thank you @Owais Iqbal!

We've got our Portal 1 Email yesterday, May 22. AOR March 10.

Our Tracker still reads:
Eligibility - Not Started
Biometrics - In Progress
Background - In Progress
Medical - Completed.

Good luck everyone! :)

If your eligibility hasn't been cleared, I am not sure if that is in comprehensive security checks. You will need to order CBSA notes to confirm.

One person had comprehensive screening as per GCMS notes and still got cleared in 2 months recently. The other one is screening record check. Record check is short but screening is generally longer. Very few in the screening make it out in short time.
Yea, mine took 3 months. Recently got a re-medical request. Precisely on the 24th of May. My security screening and that of my spouse (was stated 'comprehensive check' on cbsa note) started on the 28th of February according to CBSA notes, and sent to CSIS on the 29th and completed same day according to CSIS note. Called ircc today and confirmed that my security was passed on the 24th of May, same day of the re-medical request.

@umbro mandamus is now ongoing, got a "no reason" response from IRCC and DoJ but no direct response to the demand letter. Apparently my demand letter has a trigger word somewhere, and the forum does not allow me to share it

I am not good at Mandamus processing.
As long as I know Demand Letter is the very first step and it is not really Mandamus.
Mandamus starts when a lawyer gets into a real action, which is another step that comes after Demand Letter, some lawyers skip Demand Letter as they claim it usually does not help.
So, go to next step with your lawyer and see what happens.

Got my CBSA Notes today. Security in Progress by CBSA and in Sub Activities, Security Screening type A34 : Comprehensive :(
Hey bro, I know this is pretty old stuff for you, but would you like to let me know when you eventually got your PR approval after receiving the CBSA notes about comprehensive security screening? I received the same notes as yours. Thank you very much!
