@CMCanada .... Looks like CIC reads this forum and when they saw that you plan to buy a house ( means spend money in Canada) , your application got approved !! ( just kidding) Congrats.

In between Did you receive any letter to submit documents if so what documents did they ask?
CIC did not contact me or ask me for anything since receiving my application in Mar. 2015.

I sent an email to CIC after receiving the email notice about the secondary review in April 2015, but no response.
I called CIC in Mar. 2016, and was told that the only thing I could do was waiting, but I could try sending a letter to CIC by mail.
I did not send a letter by mail but sent another email to CIC in Mar. 2016, but still no response.

It seems that they just kept me waiting for one year and two months, and approved it.

Here is the update on our case.

We originally landed in Apr 2011, stayed for 4 days and left Canada for Europe. We travelled a lot and renewed 3 passports with lots of stamps including from the Middle East. On Sep 2013, we moved permanently to Canada. In Nov 2013 travelled again abroad for 10 days and in June 2015 visited the U.S for a week.

Submitted renewal apps in Dec 2015 completing about 790 days of residence in Canada. They got them on Dec 29, 2015. The applications included translation of all stamps in all passports (certified and notarized). On March 9, 2016, we submitted urgent processing which was granted in 2 days. On March 11, we got another email saying that our files were transferred to the secondary review. On May 10, we send an online case specific request saying that we have air tickets for the beginning of June. On May 16, 2016 we got an email saying that our cards were approved on May 12, 2016. :)

We have not received the cards yet.

Is there any fees paid for urgent processing? I applied for renewal on May 2015 on sept 2015 email secondary review. on March 2016 request urgent processing throw case specific form with tickets that we are travelling in July 2016. I never got any response not even accept or reject the case of urgency

I submitted the request for an urgent processing online. There are no fees associated with the urgent process. After 2 days we got an email saying that our request was satisfied.

Congratulations Odessa. That's amazing

Which office is your local one ? and would you mind sharing which documents did you provide with your application ? Did you provide anything extra ?

Congrats again!

Has anyone tried re-sending application via urgent processing or regular renewal after one year of renewal application under secondary review?
Any experiences or expert members' feedback would be greatly appreciated.

So many applicants are waiting for renewal from one year or more.

For re sending fresh application you have to withdraw current application and after one year wait no use to resend or withdraw the application

But for urgent processing any time you can send return ticket and payment proof.

After secondary review urgent processing only some cases work.

CIC doesn't care any applicant after secondary review.
