completely understand how you feel, i'm sure they're upto something while the file is there can't have it in there doing nothing. Maybe most of the work will be done before the transfer.
Have you applied for GCMS yet?
Visa Officer 's analysis of the file by each stage and the progress. I ordered them last week myself.
Have your spouse request them for you, its a straight forward procedure.

I m March 2019 applicant. Mine file was retransferred to NDVO on July 30 and in ecas showed started processing on same day. We were asked to provide medical exams of non accompanying dependants (on May 22 and last reminder June 28 from mississauga) for whom my spouse doesn’t have custody. So we provided affidavit and court custody papers and letter of explanation.Today on August 6, gckey said reviewing additional documents provided. Any guesses how long NDVO take for review and what would be next step.

i don't think you'll get an update after they are done reviewing the additional documents. PPR is after BGC and eligibility is done which can take anywhere from 3-5 months. Once the application is transferred to NDVO its just the waiting game and because of the backlog and so many applications being processed you are expecting few months of wait before you hear anything.
Actually you don't know that the time in Mississauga was "wasted." From what I've read on this forum, they are trying to do as much of the work as they can before transferring files to local offices because most of them are overworked.
Be thankful your file was only received on March 29th. Ours was received on January 4th (almost 3 months earlier) and we're still here waiting for background check to be completed (just like everyone else in January!) and need to get biometrics request, etc. Nothing we can do but wait. Our application is now in it's 8th month of processing and it can be a 12 month process.
I checked my online account via my CIC , up until tonight under the “application status” blurb it read:
“You may not hear from us for a little while, this is normal” sentence but tonight that part is no longer there and it was replaced by “make sure you read your messages and take action when we ask you” .... but there is no new messages? Any thoughts? Hoping this is a good sign?
