Case Processing Centre is in Sidney, Nova Scotia on the Eastern Sea Board of Canada! Urgent processing was becoming a loophole process for those breaching the RO and applying at the very margin of 730 days. Until legislation kicks in the default positions of either a 5 year card or 1 year validity card means CIC have to use further review to justify issuing a 5 year card to either those at the margin or where declared residence is in doubt. It could be worse they could have referred it to the Local Office, issued you an RQ plus absence declaration form and called you for an interview. It may also just be quality control/ program integrity.
