Yes, I guess that's on the checklist of the background check.

I disagree with that, using the background check as an excuse for the delay makes no sense. There are people who left the country many times who got invites before other people who didn't leave the country once. Background check should be the same for everyone and please don't tell me that...

Inconsistency also in the order applications are processed, you have people waiting over 7 months for a test invite and people coming after them getting an invite within 3 months or less.

It's not that it was stalled, it's just that our applications are treated different from the others.

lol, agreed but I want to know all the options just in case. As you mentioned, waiting since October so 6 months now and nothing, and while my particular office is slow, there are still people with the same timeline and even later receiving test invites.

Wow, thanks dpenbill for this detailed clarification. It definitely puts things in perspective.

Thanks sns for the answer and the link. I haven't even been invited for the test. This delay makes me think that my processing will drag on and that's why I'm considering doing the mandamus once 1 year elapses from the time they received my application since they specify 1 year as the normal...

The question is meant for forum experts or anyone with information about mandamus. But thanks for the effort.

Is it possible to submit a writ of mandamus after 1 year+ 1 day of processing?

I wish I had your optimism. I see nothing positive. There is just no fairness in how Mississauga processes applications.

What's there not to understand??? It's all good!! You're just awaiting the oath invitation.

It's selective progress, some applicants are getting through while others aren't. I'm 4 months IP, It's starting to get irritating.

There is simply a lot of people in the Peel region, it's one of the highest concentrated regions in Canada and there's only one local office so you do the math.

So IP in August and Test invite in March. So 7 months and thats for pre-flood applications.

As long as you're not in Mississauga then soon.

It's starting to look that way. My friend applied with his family in November and yesterday received a call (not mail) inviting him to the test.

facepalm

October is also stuck

Well for one, it's not looking good for the friend. Second, I don't think there are grounds for refusal because of this. Understandably, the fact that the address is shared by multiple people who are using it for immigration purposes does raise a flag and needs review.

I mean, what do they expect when a 5 year period is considered. Many people will have a lot of stamps. This officer apparently wanted to see a passport with empty pages to save him the trouble. Plus, so what if there is a resident permit in another country as long as the physical presence is...
