Hello,
We need some help regarding spousal application. Some history as below:
I am Canadian PR and my wife is Indian citizen. She studied in USA (on study permit) and lived there with her family who are American citizens. She came to Canada on visitor visa in March 2018 and we got married here in April 2018. We did a civil marriage ceremony in Canada in presence of my parents, her sister and her sister's friend. Her parents couldn't attend marriage in Canada because my mother-in-law's passport got stolen in States. We are planning to do a traditional marriage in India after we get settled and all processes (my wife's PR and mother-in-law's passport) are done.
Ours is an arranged marriage and I met my wife 2 times in USA before marriage and have met her parents in person for once. I had been talking/video calls/chatting with my wife for 6 months before marriage. Her mother & my mother are school friends. My wife is still in Canada with me on visitor visa.
Our file is currently in Delhi for background check since November 2018. My question is, do you think there is any red flag in this because it's been so long for background check? I have applied for GCMS notes last week and I am waiting for their response.
Any help will be appreciated.

An arranged marriage without the traditional ceremonies is a big red flag. Wait and see what GCMS notes say.

Yes, for traditional South Asian couples, IRCC will look for evidence of a large traditional wedding. Applying without one will cause some suspicion

I was surprised that you didn't have any wedding celebration in USA. Since her families are in USA and if your parents are Canadian as well, they should have no issue traveling there.

My parents aren't Canadian, they are in India and they came to Canada specially for wedding. They didn't get USA visitor Visa so we had to get married in Canada.

Thank you!
