She said my son's case is part of a five-month backlog of applications, and that the order in which they're processed is completely random and not necessarily by date received. I thought that was a bit odd, but if that's what it is, that's what it is.

So, we continue to wait.
That is really an interesting piece of information... that she could've done the background check on the spot? How/where? I didn't know there places you can apply in person.

Also, you said "Canadian customs agent"; do you live in Canada?

I too agree that from the volunteered posting here it seems they are not processed in the order they are received.
