I also having a feeling that CBSA notes are released by CBSA authorities and have nothing to do with profile of IRCC,I think there is ghost update only when there visa officer do something with your file.Do you have same experience @syedahraza ?
Exactly. Only IRCC representatives have access your files.

Mosty your Ip2 is the date of starting Ss
To confirm you need CBSA notes.because it is redacted in gcms notes.

You can conclusively find the SS start date from CBSA notes.
These notes are just like your gcms notes but they do not redact details such as ACTIVITY and ADMISSIBILITY.
ADMISSIBILITY section is where you will find when did they start your SS

What is the status of your eligibility? Is there any sort of review required there? If not then it will be worth calling CIC to know where you are stuck?

Get hold of the call agent and ask him/her to put a note on your file that your security hasn't started even after 22 months. They usually do this if the application has crossed more than 6 months. I am wondering why your eligibility took that long? Probably you didn't notice but you might be one of those "Eligibility review required" cases.

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask if SS starts immediatly when the background check starts? I have ordered my GCMS notes 3 weeks after my background check started, will I be able to see if I am under SS already? I am still waiting to receive it. I called IRCC early this week and they just told me that security is ongoing but the agent could not say if it is SS or not.

Thanks!

I think you need CBSA notes to know if your in ss or not. Not gcms notes which will only say "background check"
