Hi People,
Hope everyone is doing absolutely great.
I have been a silent observer for ages now; I want to congratulate people who have gotten the COPR emails and also wish luck people who are waiting for one. I wanted an advice or rather an insight regarding my case because initially i thought it to be a very simple one but i guess management of canadian immigration think otherwise. So my 6 months processing time ended on 20th of February, and i am an applicant from Pakistan. After persistent calling I got through an agent on 7th March to inquire whether the delay is due to a discrepancy in my application or something else, but the agent assured that everything seems on track. She also sent an email to concerned Visa Office and they replied with an email stating the following:
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times.
Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required.
We appreciate your patience and ask that you keep correspondence with our office to a minimum.
Regards,
Stéphanie Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada | Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada Government of Canada | Gouvernement du Canada

I am not sure whether this is a standard email reply or I should be concerned considering they asked me to basically stay under the leash. I will highly appreciate if anyone can just share their personal experience of what exactly does this mean
