Well, you can. Whether you should is potentially a different story, and only a reputable immigration lawyer you paid to discuss the specifics of your application and whose goal is not just to take your money but to give the best possible advice can answer that.

Good luck. You're not alone in this.

MP REPLY ATTACHED BELOW

Prohibition assessment is currently ongoing, all other assessments are passed. The application has been flagged as non-routine, that is why there has been a delay with the file. When a file is flagged as non-routine this means expected processing times no longer apply. With non-routine files there is also a non-disclosure which means IRCC cannot divulge to our office, why, it has

Husband

All assessments are passed, as this is a group application final decision is likely waiting wife prohibition assessment to be completed.

Prohibition assessment and parentage assessment are both in progress, and child birth certificate has been submitted. The agent confirmed the assessments are minor and will follow parents' applications.

Overall the group application is processing well and IRCC is actively working on the outstanding assessments. Right now it is just a matter of remaining patient as we wait for wife prohibition assessment to be completed!

I'm sorry but I really don't have anything else to add here.
You can either wait, for as long as needed, and try to forget about it for the time being, or pay a lawyer and see what your options are, and whether you're ready for them. It's up to you, really.
I have a family member in the same situation your wife is facing (single applicant) with a similar timeline. It's frustrating but they're sitting tight, it will come when it comes, and they're not ready to spend significant money for what will highly likely happen in 2025, and extremely likely will happen before the end of 2026, and will then last for (hopefully!) decades. Most people in my immediate entourage got their citizenship in less than a year, but some had to wait for 2 years and a half or 3 years, that's the reality of it.
Your wife, and by extension and choice the rest of your family, is one of the "unlucky" ones, and of the hundred of thousands of citizenship applicants, probably tens of thousands are equally as unlucky. Its just how the system works. Maybe it brings you relief to know that there is no reason to think there's an issue with your wife's application per se, or no more issues than the applications of many many people, or maybe it doesn't, but again, it's what it is. Good luck!

Thank you so much for your kind reply. And information it relief, little bit, I can just sit and wait rather than paying to lawyers or someone. It is very hard to make money here now. What it is and I don't want to lose any more. I have lost a lot of money here already. My best thing is just to wait and wait. Have a wonderful day with the hope. By next year 2025, before March? Thank you man thank you.

You aren’t making any sense. A friend of mine was stuck in. prohibition and IrCC claimed it was a third party thingy. He went ahead and filed Mandamus and to your surprise, he filed it himself at the federal court with no lawyer. He got his oath within two months.

If only people will understand that there is no one with concrete knowledge of IRCC works. Yes you might think you know the basics but the specifics is what you lack. People should deal with IRCC as they deem fit.

Good luck!

Good for him really, but everyone's case is different. Maybe your friend filed for mandamus right around the time the application was gonna resolve itself anyway (every application gets finalized at some point right?), but that doesn't mean that everyone should do the same. It may go completely differently for someone else who does the same.
In particular, no-one should actually pursue the mandamus process without a lawyer, filing is one thing, pursuing it depending on IRCC's reaction a whole other thing, regardless of how everyone feels about how we should deal with IRCC.

Also, not pretending I know anything really. Every one of my posts (or anyone in this forum) should be taken with a pinch of salt, that, we absolutely agree on :)
