2.5 Years Stuck in the Security

I am wondering how do they decide if your application is non-routine? Like what factors? My application was pretty straightforward and most of people here too.
I am baffled that system is so absurd.

Unfortunately it's actually just a circular definition - files that take longer are non-routine, because they take longer.
There are multiple factors for one to get non-routine tag. Name, country of origin, country of residence before immigration. Of course not all are flagged but there is a % that goes in that pool. May be AI driven tool marks some applications for any such flags. All in all 2 to 3 years are wasted. I really wonder if there is any real findings that are made
I'm saying something a bit different: that "non-routine" is simply their name for the files that go belong some period of time. It's non-routine because it's gone too long. Why has it gone too long? It's non-routine.
yes, there are a LOT of different reasons files take too long. But the label itself tells you absolutely nothing of utility - except for the fact that it's taking longer than usual. Which anyone interested already knows.

Yes, you can submit ATIP request to CSIS as well, they are known to not reply but they kind of have to under the ATIP act, if they don't reply to you within 30 days of submission you can email ATIP Commissioner of CSIS to get an update on your request.
