Good night peeps.. So I was reading a next thread and look what I stumbled upon...lol
The Department aims to process 80% of sponsorship and permanent residence applications submitted on behalf of the high-priority group of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children within six months.
5.7. Non-routine cases
While every effort should be made to process high-priority cases expeditiously, it is recognized that there are circumstances where priority processing may legitimately be affected. While not exhaustive, the list below provides some examples of non-routine cases that may not be processed according to the six-month service standard..
Examples of non-routine cases:
medical, security or criminal issues;
suspected relationship or dissolution of convenience;
misrepresentation of marital status at time of marriage;
previous deportation;
inability to support self and family members due to legal obligations or other reasons;
relationship of applicant to sponsor or applicant to other family members in doubt;
marital status of family member suspect;
sponsor under investigation for violation of IRPA; or

The following would frequently, but not necessarily, be non-routine cases:
legal validity of foreign marriage in question (marriage which occurred in country other than in processing mission's area of responsibility);
custody of children of applicant;
residence status of sponsor in doubt;
delays created by applicant not following instructions;
communications not received by mission or by applicant (unreliable postal system, mission not informed of change of address);
family members and principal applicant residing in different countries and processing coordination difficulties occur; or
applicant previously removed or excluded from Canada.
In an effort to aid analysis and identification of non-routine cases, the Work In Progress (WIP) event structure in CAIPS should be used by visa offices to flag non-routine cases. Visa offices may enter the following WIP events to identify a file that is non-routine and therefore might be processed outside of the six-month service standard. The WIP events are:
Background check delay
Medical delay
Criminality delay
Other delay
One or more of these WIP events may be entered when the cause of a possible delay is identified.
Examples of possible delays:
Medical delay—the requirement to undergo 6 months of treatment for active tuberculosis;
Criminality delay—a family member has a pending criminal charge that must be resolved before admissibility may be determined;
Other delay—an interview is required but area trips are made to the region only once or twice per year and an area trip has been completed just recently;
The sponsor is from Quebec, was found to be ineligible by Quebec, and successfully appealed;
An investigation in Canada is required prior to determining whether the sponsor is eligible.
