Yes I received the approved CSQ on July 20th. I had the sent application on Dec 30 2019.
All who got FILE MOVED/transferred to NDVO 2019 please join

As far as i know, for Quebec applicants - whichever Visa Office the file moves to - processing is suspended till the receipt of the CSQ by Visa office.
Sometimes , they move to NDVO to distribute case load etc, but usually for background checks etc.
When i had applied and landed as a PR - I was not married - so there was no question for indicating spouse in my original PR application. What is your case?
Ok now I have a theory. Let me know if it makes sense to you.
You weren't married when you applied for PR originally. Which means that your Spouse never went through any of Canada visa process in the past. The fact that you are sponsoring your spouse now means that Canada has to do a background check of some sort and it takes the help of NDVO for it.
So here, there is a need to push the file to NDVO.
In my case, I was married when I applied for PR originally. However, I marked my spouse as Non-Accompanying. Regardless of accompanying/non-accompanying spouse, Canada definitely has to perform the back ground checks for all family members in the PR application. So background checks on Spouse might have already been performed at that point. So there is no need to re-do the checks during spousal sponsorship. And so no need to push the file to India.
This could explain why sometimes the file never gets pushed to NDVO and remains in Canada for the entire process.
Again, just speculating!!
As far as I know, wherever
Does make sense! Your spouse might have gone through background checks as part of your process for PR. Hence, for your spouse now there might not be a need to go through the full gamut of checks again.
In my case, they need to do it as from their perspective my spouse is a totally new candidate which they have to assess before granting a PR decision.
As far as Quebec process is concerned - you might have observed a trend. The medical requests for most of QC applicants is usually after they know that the CSQ is granted, or when they pick up the file for processsing and realize that they dont have the CSQ in their records and trigger a separate email specifically asking for the CSQ from the applicant.
This is because they wouldnt want to process a file and invest resources in it by not knowing the outcome of the CSQ. Because theoretically, if Quebec doesnt grant CSQ, the spousal sponsorship in effect is cancelled/null and void as Quebec in its first stage of approval hasnt deemed the applicant to be admissible.
Yes agreed. So in short, your theory saying IRCC will hold any further processing until CSQ is approved. Atleast in most of the cases. ok thanks. Im planning to order GCMS notes soon. Will get back with my findings.
Yes, It's so frustrating, All other Visa offices are processing and approving files but NDVO processing is ridiculous.
Not necessary. My spouse was shown as non-accompanying on my application when I first applied and still his sponsorship application was moved to NDVO and is presently stuck there, even with dependents.
Hi SKRPrince09,
I wanted to share my application story. I was not married when I applied for my PR. Now, I applied for my wife's PR under sponsorship from Quebec and our file moved to CPC-M. And yes, our application was in suspended state till we received our CSQ, which we received on May 14, 2020.
We have not heard anything from CPC-M lately. When I spoke to an agent he mentioned that they have approved all the requirements and the only thing pending is a "decision made" approval.
So from what I have understood, the files moving to NDVO or CPC-M was just to divide the load between the two offices as NDVO was getting a lot of files. The respective office completes all the checks and only if in some cases if there is a need for interview then the file moves from CPC-M to NDVO only if it was in CPC-M in first place. And for the last part the applicant will submit the passport to NDVO for stamping.
This is just my assumption.

Appreciate you sharing your story. Do you mind telling me how you contacted an agent from CPC-M ? I would like to know about my status as well.
Also, Is your Medical complete ?
Yeah same with me ... my spouse was non-accompanying for my application and the sponsorhip file now is gone to the super punctual NDVO in Jan 2020.. and since then its dead.
