That's interesting, thanks. I have a couple more questions, if you don't mind
- Did you send a performance request to IRCC before filing Mandamus or did you skip this step?
- Did they give a ballpark of how much it would cost, if IRCC didn't settle?

I sent several webforms asking them to finalise my application by a certain date, and also several before this asking about updates, status, etc, but of course I never received a reply.

And yes before I started the mandamus process they gave me a breakdown of what each stage would cost, it was going to be 1k for filing (which I paid), 2k for the second stage (preparing arguments and stuff for court), and 1k if they had to physically go to court to represent me (which he said 99% of mandamus cases never get this far). So in total it would have not been more than 4k. I only got the price after I had my consultation so not sure if the price is dependant on the complexity of the case, mine was pretty straightforward (single applicant, RFV according to gcms notes but just wasn't touched since June 2021).

If you're interested I would suggest booking the (paid) consultation, then you can get all your questions answered. I don't think you HAVE to go through with the second stage after filing, it will be up to you.

Hey, is there any movement in your file?

Nothing bro I don't know whether they get special high when they string us along,I think again things are slowing down or they (VO Ottawa)are preparing for another batch release,I hope it is the second one and we all are done with it.
What about you any progress?
Usually people who got ADR got pr in 60 days but you know our buddies you can't predict anything.

Nothing for me either. Background check status still doesn't say "We are processing..."
When I got ADR and re-medical request I was so happy as people were getting PPR within a week of submitting their documents (people who got ADR and re-medical request on same date as me have already got their PPR), little did I know, I'd get stuck in another waiting queue.

@PRANIT01 @Rkb94
When did you guys get ADR?
I got mine at the end of January, submitted everything in early February before the deadline but I haven't heard back since then.

I didn't get a remedical request nor did I do upfront remedical.

I got re-medical and ADR on Feb 18th.
What is your VO? and have you tried to get in touch with them to find out about the status of your application?

I sent a web form last week but, just received a generic response that they are experiencing high volume of requests and will respond to my query as soon as possible.
I was about to send an email to ottawa VO today, but I am thinking of calling them instead.

To be honest, I don't know where my VO is. Going by my CoR, it should be Manila VO but as I understand, IRCC moved files around between their VOs not too long ago maybe it's somewhere else now? idk.

I have not tried to reach them. I haven't even ordered GCMS notes before. I've been of the mind that nothing I do will speed up the process so I've just been patiently waiting lol.

But seeing all these people get ADR and then PPR soon after does make me a little bit anxious.
