Good thing is I passed my test, did not receive a formal RQ or any other documents to provide more information. Just 2nd officer said they have to review all of my trips in and out of the country. Since I work mainly in the states or did the past 4 years, it was difficult enough to meet the days in country. But as soon as my travel slow down and worked more from home I had the number of days in country. So no telling how long this process will take, stamps not on passport due to Nexus card holder. So they have to request all the information from CBSA. Officer said they may need more information but not sure as of yet.
I thought the entire process would be delayed by my days out of country, surprised they wait until you take the test to question them. Do they not validate that information?
