I don't think so.. maybe you are in the same pile as mine. Our file took 88 since AOR to In process.. I saw this week some people started to change In process after a long wait, hopefully your file will be moving too. BTW I called and my file still at Nova Scotia and is in process, so we'd never know whats going on

It is now 3 months since I got my AOR but no IP

Does this means my application is now non routine.

Thanks
No, the passage of time does NOT mean anything in particular, especially this EARLY in the process (barely four months since application submitted).

In the meantime an application does not have routine or "non routine" status.

There are routine procedures and there are non-routine procedures. The latter vary considerably and their impact varies even more so. Non-routine actions or requests do NOT necessarily indicate either a problem or significant delay in processing time. Some do, yes, but it depends on what the non-routine action is and its context in the individual applicant's situation.

In other words, encountering a non-routine action or procedure is NOT, not in itself, a reason to worry.


No in my case I called after my status changed to IN PROCESS and the officer said my file still at Nova Scotia
After the application has IP status it has most likely been transferred to the local office. The fact that GCMS does not show the file to be in the local office does not mean it has not been sent there. The call centre agent is merely relying on what can be seen in a version of GCMS that is information for applicants. Same as what GCMS would show if the applicant obtained a copy of the GCMS notes for the same day as the call.

It is probably a lot like the gap in time between when the applicant actually sends the application, the courier shows delivery to CPC-Sydney, and then much later the date of AOR.

Between date the application was actually delivered to Sydney and AOR, there is nothing in IRCC records to indicate the application is there. But it is there. Similarly between the IP date and the later date when a local office processing agent opens the application, even if GCMS does not show the application as in the local office during that gap in time, it is highly likely (with some exceptions) it is indeed in the local office.

What is a non-routine application?
We consider your application non-routine if:
  • you asked to change your personal information, such as:
    • name
    • sex designation
    • date of birth
  • you missed a:
    • test
    • interview
    • hearing
  • we need you to submit extra documents, like:
    • fingerprints
    • residence documents
  • we asked you to come to another interview or hearing after you attended your interview
We also consider your citizenship application non-routine if you:
I do not feel getting finger prints request lands your file in non- routine since many on the forum who did FP did not wait very long for test invitation.

Agreed. FP for me was no obvious impact. HOWEVER, a non-clean FP result certainly WILL impact processing.

Yes but a non routine application doesn’t always imply a delay in the processing time. Like you mentioned a FP request officially lands the application in the non routine category, however this will have a very small impact in the processing if the FP came out with no match.
Again non routine doesn’t mean long delay in the processing time
