You have buffer of 9 days, might have gone for closer scrutiny.
That every file is different. Everyone has filed information as per their understanding and knowing the risks and implications. And Everyone is this forum is sharing their experience. Nobody knows what is the happening at the backend as no one works in the IRCC office here. Even if they work, they can only provide limited information. I got my test request after 2 months almost where people are getting within a week. Me worrying over this wont cause any good for me as it is not in my control. IRCC is not super responsive on webforms and call wait times are close to 1-2 hours but that is one avenue you can explore in case you want to know where you file is. But It will pretty generic answer from them. So, I would say enjoy your time and just check your tracker once in a day to see if there is any update.
Thank you for the quick response.
Do you think my application becomes non-routine because of this escalated situation and causes a significant delay? As per the Google Sheet, it is not very common to have only physical presence left incomplete.
I traveled back home (Turkey) for 3 weeks. That's all.
I don't think so. Just an extra validation they would be doing with the travel dates you mentioned and checking whether you mentioned all the travel days.
