Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

Was anyone in this thread ever invited for an interview? ... ALSO, does anyone have a status of "Grant Interview Ready In-Person" under the PAPER FILE section in GCMS notes?

CIT CSIS Screening
Status: Received
Validity date: censored, but can see there is an entry
Status Updated Date: 2025/08/28

I guess I’m just unlucky and didn’t get the auto pass

My thoughts: validity date being there indicates they have already finished work on it, and if there is a red flag they must have censored more, or be taking longer to do it. The most likely cause is a lazy officer or my frequent address changes affected something. But then I cannot find another case of “Received” status here

How long it took to get CSIS notes?

Finally, my background and prohibitions are completed! Updated on tracket on October 10 - I am awaiting oath.

Submission/ AoR - Dec 2023

I filed mandamus in July, with change in federal court rules, I had to proceed directly to step 2 by filing an affidavit and memorandum with all objective evidence. I was confident on my case as I came as a student, got pr through Express Entry, and I am not from Middle East. IRCC had 30 days to respond to my step 2 filings and on last day of dealine, they cleared my application and provided a response that they approved my application and mandamus application stands moot as the application is finalized.

I did all ground work like demand letter, MP inquiries, gcms notes etc before doing mandamus.. It takes minimum of 3-4 months for a response on mandamus. In my case, it was a positive response.
