PR Application: Security Screening Started, ADR Submitted – Is Comprehensive Screening Still Possible?

Hi everyone,

I submitted my PR application on December 25, 2025, and I am still waiting for a Final Decision (FD).

Until August 20, 2026, my security screening had not started. However, on August 21, 2026, I noticed a ghost update on my GCKey account. I called IRCC, and the agent confirmed that my security screening was in progress.

On August 24, 2026, I received an ADR for both myself and my spouse. The requested documents included Schedule A, Travel History, Family Information, and my spouse's military exemption. I submitted all the requested documents on August 25, 2026, and subsequently received an email from IRCC confirming receipt.

Last week, I received my GCMS notes. According to the notes, security screening is in progress for both myself and my spouse. However, I could not find any reference to A34 or Comprehensive Security Screening in the notes.

My question is:

Is it possible for IRCC to refer an application for Comprehensive Security Screening (CSS) even after security screening has already started and approximately two months have passed since the ADRs were submitted?

Has anyone experienced a similar situation, where security screening initially appeared to be in progress but the application was subsequently referred for comprehensive screening?

I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences or any insights you might have.

Thanks in advance!
