****** CEC - October 2022 AOR ******

I believe you have to reach out to the MP of your constituency, but let me share a trick that might be helpful. In my case, I believe asking the MP did help. I actually wrote to 2 different MPs, one of my own constituency, and another is of the adjacent one, but happens to be the standing member of the Citizenship and Immigration Committee. For the second one, I said up front that I know my address is not in their constituency, but since the MP is on the immigration committee, I hope they can help take a look.

The first one wrote back a boilerplate response saying that they contacted IRCC but blah blah blah... The second one did call me, leaving a voice mail saying that they called IRCC, who mentioned that my case has been all done, just the portal email left... and a few hours later, I did receive portal #1. The MP office actually called checking the status again a few days later. Of course, we should definitely try leverage any help possible, but it boils down to the luck that whether the MP office really wants to use their direct line with IRCC to help you or not.

it is nice to hear Canadian MPs do this and help folks like us who don't even vote for them yet. In my native country the politician's office worker will call to ask for bribes but do nothing to alleviate the problem

I am jealous, I would lose it if I saw a new ghost update The last one was in early March and then silence.

Man, after reading your extract I think I finally conjured up the courage to ask. I dont even have the word to explain how stressed I am regarding this mess. Very helpful indeed.

If I may ask you a question: when you wrote the email how much did you share, did you provide your application and UCI no,
did you explain your case- (cause i know a lot about mine from the GCMS notes). Anything you learned you should from your experience?

Don't be, it means nothing, I had so many and it's been 7 months today and still no news. I have a really bad feeling about this.

Hi.
I have one question:
CEC Inland - 1 dependent
Bio: passed
Med: passed
Background: passed Apr 17
Eligibility: in progess since Apr 5 as per GCMS dated Apr 28.

I called IRCC last Tues, they told me I already passed EVERYTHING, just have to wait for portal email in next couple of days
I called them back last Friday since I didn’t see any portal email. They told me my eligibility is still in progress?
Have anyone experienced this situation before? Any suggestions?

PVO: CIO SVO: Ottawa

TIA

Hi,

I have noticed that the ATIP i got from CBSA was showing all the officers and assignments. However, the IRCC one doesn't show any of these. Have you noticed the same on yours? That means that even though I got the notes, I can't tell what's going on.
Also, just a heads up - I did contact the MP, which spoke with the officers, but nothing has changed. I spoke with an agent yesterday, and My file is still untouched for months. So I guess is also a matter of luck weather the MP contact will make a diference or not.

If anyone has any tips or advices on what more can I do, please let me know. 7+ months of wait, 4 of these just waiting for the eligibility to be accessed.

did you tell your MP that your application is well outside of the standard processing time for CEC? They should be making noise to get yours moving especially since it’s 3+ months after the processing time.

I did. BTW, even the officer informed the MP staff that the processing time for my application has passed. The agent on the phone, also mentioned the same. But they still ignoring it anyway

I was trying to find how common are the cases like us. CEC-inland with 7+ months with no response.
However instead of this thread its pretty hard to pinpoint.

I will try what you are recommending, I had received PPR on 2nd Feb 2023, all processes are done for me and it shows the same on online tracker and still waiting for my COPR email. I contacted IRCC and they told me wait for the last 3 months. called my local MP (they have been disappointment for 2 month and gave me no updates). Hopefully I will get it soon, with what you are recommending. Thanks for sharing

This is what I received from the MP:

“
Thank you for your patience while I was waiting on an update from IRCC.
Your PR application is almost finalized, it is just waiting on the security assessment to be completed and pass. This is normal as unfortunately security assessments have been delayed across the board. I sincerely apologize for this, but we should be seeing the finalizing of this application - and a final decision made - soon.

Warmest regards,”

It is taking too long.
