Not sure how this security screening thing works. Some people breeze thought it, other get stuck for months if not years.

I’m an October 2021 applicant, AOR January 2022, only criminality part of BGC is passed, security still pending.

Also no test invite till date!!

Bro I was asking when your file was stuck in security, it was because you applied for study visa or citizenship. I read it now. Actually, my file is in security since 18 August, as I have applied for study permit. So I don't know why is it taking so much time against my file and file is stuck in security check. Weird for study permit applicant
so you didnt apply for citizenship onlly study permit ...

I was dreading the same will happen during the Citizenship application, but thankfully my application was completed within 13 months
-Applied in Aug 2021,
-AOR in Oct 2021,
-FP request and FP taken in Mar 2022,
-BGC completed in Apr 2022,
-Test received and completed in May 2022.
-Physical Presence, Prohibitions, Language marked completed in Aug 2022

Hi,
Did you apply for citizenship or temporary status? I applied for a PR and my status has been stuck at security screening for almost a year. Did you get any viable suggestions?
Thanks!

I hope you got the PR, in my case criminality part of BGC is passed, eligibility is done, Medical is done, but SS has not even started, AOR JULY 2023.
