My request got accepted within 1 week after it was sent out to my local office from the central help-desk (IRCC online form).
This is the reply I got when they forwarded my request to my local office;
Good day,
Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
We verified the information you provided regarding urgent processing and have forwarded it to the responsible office.
They will contact you if further information is required or if a decision is made on your application.
We hope the information provided is helpful in assisting you with your enquiry.
Any idea after this email how long it will take to get the actual approval for Urgent Processing?
