Excellent news! Congrats on both the CSQ and the new job!!!
For anyone else who is interested in the behind-the-scenes operations of IRCC and how applications are selected to stay in Mississauga, I came across an old post recently that provides some concrete information.
The poster, @SeineToHumber, used access to information laws to request an operational bulletin from IRCC that describes how the process works, which you can see here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...ard/threads/ob570-stream.513446/#post-6426449
Unfortunately, the government redacted the specific criteria used to triage applications, which is precisely what would be of most interest to applicants like us, though the OP provides a few extra bits of collected information in this post: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...reads/ob570-stream.513446/page-4#post-6962297
Hope it sheds a bit of light, for those who share my nerdy interest!
The only thing I will add is that the additional information (2nd post) is not necessarily correct. They claim only PA from high approval rate countries are put into the Low risk stream. My PA is from Philippines and we were processed completely in Mississauga and total processing time was only 4 months. It was never transferred to the local VO. I am doubting Philippines made it onto that prestige list of countries
Although it does state their triage criteria is subject to change so maybe that list has relaxed since then.
I would speculate triage criteria may contain other things such as time spent living together, age gap, etc. My case was a very simple situation (I lived with my wife in her country for years and still lived with her at the time of the application, we are both young and close in age, etc).
I am so jealous of most people here, medical passed back in 1 FEB and sent to VO Singapore (My Wife is Cambodian) and still on BGC with no answer 
and now with the new un-helpful status bar it remind me everyday I have 5 months left Hope I will get to hear something from them soon also it say They have not received biometrics even though on the page itself it show her biometric number and everything.....Hope no problems with the background just wish I could hear something from them soon, its so stressful as everyone can imagine

My wife is in Beijing...not a good location considering all the tensions between the two countries
Was your file transferred to HKVO or CPC-M? Do you think the tension could potentially prolong the background check processing time?
My rep said he helped two employees who worked at Huawei a while ago, the background took ages to finish
How long did you apply? They received mine 31 Aug, I wish you good luck and hope everything will go well with you
At least her BGC started, my wife's file sitting idly in HKVO now so I am jealous of youI am so jealous of most people here, medical passed back in 1 FEB and sent to VO Singapore (My Wife is Cambodian) and still on BGC with no answer
Thanks, they received mine Dec 19th. So it's not that long yet, I orginally applied in August but had it returned so it seems so much longer to me.
Congratulations on the progress and your new job!Hi everyone,

I am originally from China too and been worried about this all the time. My file was transferred to Missisauga though but i doubt if it would make any difference since the background check will be done by other agencies than VO/CPC.
