"The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and the next step would be the ceremony."

"Furthermore, the request for urgent processing has been received but not completed by office."

Some notes given to the MPs office by IRCC regarding my file. Nothing new lol

Oh well.

I'll remove the "Urgent Processing" tag from the "Notes" section on the spreadsheet then. Thanks.

Please let me know if this changes.

I used poor choice of words back then. My apologies.

Registry, according to what @rafzy mentioned (he clarified it with IRCC call center), is where the applications are kept waiting to be worked on by an officer.

Looks like your application has been sitting in the Scarborough registry since April 2021 with no action on the application.

Are your BG checks "Completed"? I see that your criminality is done. If you BG checks say "In Progress", then it means "Security" clearance is still pending from CSIS.

To the last point, my BG checks are still In Progress, while Criminality is passed. My spouse's BG checks are Completed. Do you think this means I'll be getting a FP request ?

No. Your criminality is completed so you likely won't receive a FP request. Your security is still in progress (and this is done by CSIS). This is what is causing the delay in your application from what I know.

Thanks again. I guess, I will continue to wait then for the next communication. When I had called a few weeks ago, they did confirm that my application was in 'good state' and there is nothing pending from my side for now.

I am just wondering, in which ground IRCC set/determines the due dates? Is it set on random/speculation?

@rajkamalmohanram any idea?
