Yes, he is an MP and also a minister. I don't know how but apparently contacting his office is one of the best way to know your status. I don't want to get it into the logic and right and wrong of contacting an MP of a country for an issue like this. People contact him frequently and they all get a reply too, with in hours.
If you think its not the right thing to do, you can call IRCC during business hours and ask an agent about your status. Just make sure you ask specific status like eligibility, security, criminality other wise they will just say everything is in progress.
Good Luck
