To Settlement Org,

I had sent my application for PR card renewal in April. They received it on 15 April 2015 and started processing on 06 July.

After waiting until end of September 2015, I called them and they told me it has gone for secondary review. The CIC representative said it went for secondary review in July and doesn't have a time frame, saying it could take from few weeks to few months and maximum 1 year.

I haven't even received an email or letter through mail saying that it went for secondary review.

My question is

- How long should I wait for the secondary review to be completed?
- Should I approach someone who works for settlement services and ask them to find about my case at this stage?
- For my PR card renewal, I have completed way beyond than 730 days in last 5 years (almost 3 years), although first 2 years I was outside to complete my education. After completing far more than minimum days for renewal, why was the application sent for secondary review?

I would highly appreciate if someone who has the same experience as me to share their story on this.

Thanks
