Waited almost 2 years for my PR application. Should I file for mandamus

[j1abbay]

I submitted my PR application in Feb 2023, my PGWP is expiring in end of year.

Called my MP and ordered GCMS. Basically everything is ready but they are waiting on security for more than a year now. I lived in China, US and Canada in the past 10 years. Nothing complicated..

I’m just so sick of waiting. I want a decision. Did any one ever go through with mandamus? I read in other posts that meandeus helps speed up the security process.

You can file a writ but bet the issue is with China, and not Canada. Security information from China takes years.

It's a dice roll for you if a writ will help at all. Chances are higher it won't but you can try. As said above, the issue is the time you spent living in China and the difficulty in completing security and background checks when someone has lived there since China is not fully cooperative. Your application cannot be finalized without completing these checks.
