Yes I contacted my MP several times, his assistant phoned CIC at the beginning of December and got a status update (at that time they said criminality still in progress, everything else was done, just after we received fingerprint request). It is helpful because when I asked her t phone, she called the same day and I had a response within a couple of hours, i am going to have her phone again in a week or 2 if I don't hear anything as I have already confirmed by Canada Post that they received the RCMP clearances..... best of Luck and Happy New Year ;D
