Called CIC today for an update and was told the worse news ever... my kids file has been sent to a local office!

Are you planning to travel soon?
You should call back to see if it is possible to apply for an urgent request.

I have plans for June 2020. They said I need to use the web form for urgent request. Do you how long will Secondary review take? This is really stressing...

I Don't really know, sorry :(
You can try to get the fax number of the local office where they sent the file to send a letter explaining your case.
You have a valid pr card?

Nope, mines is in secondary review too. I applied for mine back in April and was asked for the same documents. Then mine went for secondary review in September.
Good Morning,

Do you have any idea why your request went to secondary review?
You have been living in Canada for almost 4 years as your children? And you have had a permanent job for the last 4 years?
I really don't understand why the cases are going to secondary review.
I hope you have news soon.

I received my acknowledgment mail yesterday, now it's time to wait to see what happens. :D

My kids lived here since 4 years with their mom and we sent all school reports etc. I have been living since past 2.5 years. That's the reason we sent separate applications because we were expecting a secondary review for me BUT NOT for my kids.

This is very strange that you were expecting secondary review for you while you are living here for 2.5 years. Why were you expecting this? I have seen lot of cases where people have just few days extra from the threshold of 730 (recent example of AliSyed who posted on this thread as well with around 750 days of physical presence that’s 2 years and half a month) and they got the renewed PR cards smoothly as per the IRCC / CIC given timelines.
