on mine it is mentioned S.21 and S.26 on the Security Page
International affairs and defence
21 The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any personal information requested under subsection 12(1) the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to be injurious to the conduct of international affairs, the defence of Canada or any state allied or associated with Canada, as defined in subsection 15(2) of the Access to Information Act, or the efforts of Canada toward detecting, preventing or suppressing subversive or hostile activities, as defined in subsection 15(2) of the Access to Information Act, including, without restricting the generality of the foregoing, any such information listed in paragraphs 15(1)(a) to (i) of the Access to Information Act.



When your apply for your GCMS notes, it released only your information, and not other people on the application. So their information is withheld under s26

Information about another individual
26
The head of a government institution may refuse to disclose any personal information requested under subsection 12(1) about an individual other than the individual who made the request, and shall refuse to disclose such information where the disclosure is prohibited under section 8.

Some confusion here:

on this page http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/A-1/page-5.html#docCont it says S.21 totally different.
s.15 and s.26 i agree
What did your GCMS note say?

how can I find if I am in SS or not?
I cant find security screening anywhere on my gcms notes.
Under security section, it says my name and UCI number and TYPE ''Security '' then rest of the page if fully blank except for S.15 (1)

Also under activity, under security, looks like they tried to hide the new value for field name status.

Could it mean im in SS?

you can see upper part of ' centralized intake office ' is slightly cut off.

About me:

AOR March 6, CEC-O, 4 months plus since AOR
13th march, program assistant completed review and application went straight to IP2
Eligibility passed by officer
GCMS notes show last update was 12th April and since no updates.
Ryapreet, what about Activities 1 to 10, can you share those pages as well ?

Damn, just 50 activities that's less :D. I have 95 activities listed on my GCMS notes ;)
I was asking you with reference if there is a note about Security mentioned between Act 1-10 as Act 1 is considered the most recent

my securtiy activity is taking place at CIO, does it mean im in SS?

for london application, the office for their security activity is also CIO ?
Hi khurram, you need to order either CBSA or CSIS notes to ascertain whether you're in SS or not. I'm also stuck in security from the last 6 months and it's been almost 15 months since AOR (May 2017). I ordered CSIS notes couple of months back and found out that they never received screening request on my file from IRCC or CBSA. I've also recently ordered CBSA notes to see if they received further screening request on my file from IRCC. So I'm gonna wait for a month and see what response comes back from CBSA.
