PR Application submitted while TRV stuck in Security (2.5 years)

[ehsanshah]

Hi everyone,

I am looking for experiences or advice from anyone who has been in this specific situation.

My Situation:

1. I have a TRV application that has been stuck in Comprehensive Background Check (Security Screening) for 2.5 years.
2. I recently received my ITA and submitted my Express Entry PR application.

My Questions:

• Process: Does the PR application trigger a brand new security screening from scratch, or does it link to the ongoing investigation from my TRV?
• Timeline: Since my security check has already been "in progress" for 2.5 years, is there any chance the PR application will clear faster? Or should I expect the PR application to hit the same wall and get stuck just like the TRV?

If you have gone through PR with a stuck TRV in the background, please share your timeline/outcome.
