Hi Harjot
How did you contact MP - did you included full details of your application in email? Can you show template pleade

Every means to seek information would suggest you to just wait. That is what most of the people in this group chat are doing.

Sad but true , it will be 1 year of wait for me on 4 June 2024

Can’t do anything but wait. Even MPs will tell you to just wait eventually.

A little bit of anti-social element create bad precedence for the honest & genuine applications. But even if there is no bias, Canada is extremely slow to process military background files (for all countries). Further the TRV number crash down by minister, this could also be a factor. Who knows :-/

Please update if anyone sees movement in their files!

Reading some posts...and this is scary... applied for in-laws on 31 Jan 2024, biometrics completed immediately and since then silence. Absolutely no communication.

Welcome to the club !

At least some here were asked for additional documentations. In my case, not even a single document has been asked as of today. Just bare silence.

Anyone knows what the process actually involves here?

Is your Eligibility done? Maybe they will ask you for ADR after its completed.

Eligibility was completed right after Biometrics was completed but no communications after that. All they say is your background security check is still in-progress.

I wish there was more transparency in this process.

It is something absurd asking these detail from a person who has retired 20 years. How does he expected to remember everything like place of posting name of COs and duties done 35 years back. Assuming they are doing background check. How ? No one will them access to official records. Now worst they give you limited time visa and every time you reapply after visit they again ask these details. Do they not trust their own background checks done earlier or expect persons again joins and perform duties after vist. Any one who has visited canada number of times again put in this cycle on the other hand canada is heaven for all criminals of other countries who seek political asylum. Background check is never done for human right violators but for veterns who served their nation are treated like this

I applied for my parents visitor visa in June 2023 (father retired military background retired in 2002), , IRCC asked for ADR of military service details in Aug 2023 (submitted within a week), and there is no response / update since then, can anyone guide what steps i can take to expedite or check application status? its just a visit visa and they are taking way too much time.
