Hehehe...we could be twins! I got the exact same reply from CPC Ottawa. Only variation: ‘...and Security Check is still pending’ was not mentioned. Though it very much is according to my GCMS notes! I mailed them yesterday pointing out the same. So looks like they amended the reply slightly to avoid repeat queries
Also, and this is kinda funny, is the font colour for these sentences -
‘outside of our posted processing times. At this time, there is nothing that is required on your part and Security Check is still pending. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated.’ - in BLUE? It is curiously enough in a pale blue font in my email.
Finally, my email is signed off from ‘CPC-O’ and not an individual like in your case.
