I believe all they can do is notify the officer, and they do actually forward your correspondences to your officer, the problem is there are asshole officers that do delay things on purpose, or leave without an auto reply message :D its a complete joke!!!!! un supervised officers and workers !!
funny part is we don't have officers assigned to our files. FUBAR!

Just got my second round of ATIP notes - no change other than the note that my MP office called. Ugh. Time to order the ones for August now...

Don't know what to say folks, it is frustrating and day after day I am realizing whatever we do it won't help! but I believe it worth to keep bugging them for any update (even if nothing is happening) I did sent immigration minister an email, I recommend everyone do the same: minister@cic.gc.ca

Put all your application details in the signature and write at least couple of paragraphs explaining your immigration journey and why citizenship is important to your case, and how bad you feel that your application is left behind etc etc.

maybe if his office notices that much of emails coming he would do something (MAYBE)

There is a wait as they need the signed oath form to generate the e-certificate
