luvtrump, I understood your case a bit as well. It looks like your file was transferred to Montreal - CEN. Usually, the files of people, who have residency problems/questions, are transferred here (as I understood from the forum, IRCC residency experts work at Montreal - CEN). If your file is transferred here, your DM will be reached aprx. 6 months later than the DM of an ordinary case (see page 6, routine, Montreal vs Montreal - CEN). If there are other questions in relation to your file in addition to residency, it will bring the processing time to more than 3 years (see page 6, Montreal - CEN, complex).
Good luck! Hopefully, your new application will be faster.
