Hmm...I know my file isn't non-routine because none of the items listed on the non-routine page apply to me. May be I should call again and see if I get a better agent answering my call this time around....
As long as u’re in SS, neither MP nor anyone else can do anything. Once SS is done and u’ve passed the avg processing time, you can request MP to push IRCC to expedite the process

I've heard so many people saying once BG is done, the rest goes really fast....well, 2 months has passed since my BG finally completed and just radio silence...
Not really, The application I'm dealing with has BG, Language, and Physical presence has been completed since May 2023 but is stuck on Prohibitions for more than one year

Need some help in calculating the number of days since IRCC is processing my application in order to determine if my application has yet gone beyond average processing time or not.

I submitted my application on 31st January 2023. In my GCMS notes, it is marked as received on 6th February 2023. But I the acknowledgement email was sent on 16th March 2023. Should I calculate the number of days based on when I submitted the application (31st January 2023), or when IRCC received my application (as per GCMS notes) (6th February 2023), or when I received AOR (16th March 2023)? By the way, I was never asked to provide any additional documents, including finger prints.

Appreciate your help!

IRCC's explanation of how processing time is determined is here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=068&top=3

In short, it starts on the date when they received it, not when someone decided to open your package after a 3 month vacation.

Called IRCC again this morning, just a whole lot of nothing...no update, no outstanding things on the file, no this, no that...just completely wasted 30 minutes on fluff. So frustrating...

Just got my GCMS notes back, weirdly my secondary office changed from RC-8090 to RC-3193 Domestic RO. I tried to search for RC-3193, but couldn’t find anything on it.
