What I am trying to say is that if the MP is good and diligent they will be able to help you if they want to. Unfortunately, my MP is not helpful too they just asked me to wait, while four other fellow countrymen of mine with the same MP (they lived in the same neighborhood), ask help from MP got all approved just recently.That’s not entirely true. When my hubby’s MP contacted my visa office in Accra Ghana, she was told I wasn’t a priority especially since our application just completed 12 months then. Her personal assistant still hasn’t been able to bring his wife from India to Canada due to the Covid-19 impact on immigration. He’s supposed to be calling Accra VO on update on my application. I stopped getting my hopes high on my hubby’s MP when I knew her assistant is in similar situation. So it doesn’t function that way. It took 8 months after medical before I got another update and 2 months after our deadline to get DM. You never can tell you may get an update very soon.
If youre MP is not helpful then wait for CPC-M that never moves an inch.
