We did not hear back from them from September 2023 to June 2024. We reached out to IRCC through our MP and the only update they could get was that the background checks were taking time – possibly because we lived different Middle Eastern countries. We were told we were within the timeline for processing. MP’s office followed up every 6 weeks with IRCC and informed us that there were no hiccups , just that the BG’s were taking time.
