Thank you. It's Vancouver office. Apparently it's slow. How do we get to know if my application is routine or non routine?
I wouldn't say Vancouver is slow. Many slow offices have become faster atleast in citizenship processing. That only ircc may be able to tell you indirectly . If they keep saying in security check , Background etc then you know they are looking further. If you have worked in any country which is regarded as u friendly they may do additional checks . Or if you have extensive travel history

Thanks for thr reassurance. I was working in the USA and have 4 trips to India in the last 5 years eligibility period. Hoping it's not going to be a huge concern.

The second GU of 14th is a new one. It can translate into a real update tomorrow, like BG completed for example. But not all GU translate immediately and you may not see the real update until a few days later.
It was background check completed. Do we count this as ghost update on the sheet? since it was followed by real update two days later.

Hi!
Update: I have just taken my test (window was 16Aug-14Sept) and passed with 18/20.
however, the id picture I had to take was blurred (my webcam would not focus properly), will they ask me to retake the test? My face picture was clear. Or will they just ask to resend the id ?

The ID pictures are mostly blurred, and if they have a problem they usually send you an email to email them the ID copies, so you should be good.
