Went thru the ATIP again and 229 refers to residency requirement. I have 1418 days as against 1095. So I don't know what's keeping them from making a decision and giving me an oath invite. They have cleared me of all the other requirements like language, knowledge, criminality check etc.
Usually after the interview they order through their internal business channels your CBSA records for verification, sometimes CBSA doesn't respond on time, hence this point is considered pending. Most probably this is your case a delay which is caused from lack of inter-institutional communication.
The problem for delays is often caused from the third parties involved in the process.
The ATIP report usually doesn't show any information obtained from third parties.
what IRC or former CIC does is, they request info from third parties and if these parties doesn't respond on time the file gets stuck until they respond.
The applicant unfortunately has no control over that.
