Trust me, I know exactly what you mean. I send IRCC emails every now and then, even contacted my MP. They all gave the same response: WAIT! The only comfort I have now is that I've seen a couple of people whose background checks were completed within one-two days. The frustration of waiting is killing.@bago4c it just gives me anxiety that almost 10 months, when I call the 1888 number it states BGC has not started which I believe can take 3-4 months additional.
