Did they tell you why its non-routine?
Not really, I had to look online to find out.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1169&top=5

Despite this, I do see people in the excel sheet who were requested to have their fingerprints taken, or received a questionnaire requesting extra info and still had their application processed faster. All what CIC told me is that since it's non-routine, it does not abide to the one year processing time, so it's a bit frustrating to know that we have no idea how long it might take now.

Same standard reply. The only other thing you can do is contact your MP. Even that might now help much. But give it a shot.

Called CIC today as my application was received on Oct 19, 2017 by CIC.

Agent said that due date on my application is Nov 2018, so i should expect something in next few weeks. Not sure if that will happen though.

No test invite yet.
