People who have crossed 12 month processing time and did not complete test : what kind of reply does IRCC give when you enquire about your cases ?

I think this is ideal group to write to MP as they are outside the agreed and advertised timelines by the government .
The 12 month processing time has never been a guarantee, but just an average processing time. IRCC has already said on their website that due to covid they can't provide accurate processing times.

What you are proposing is too conciliatory, too passive, and above all - with respect - too naive.

They will respond to you with the generic response that you have to wait, without specifying a deadline.

This is an ad vitam æternam deadline. ( Indefinite ).

It would be more realistic to contact the press, its local federal deputy, and also for those who can, to engage in the series of protests. (The first will take place this saturday, in Toronto and Montreal).

We must use all the legal means and legitimacy at our disposal to exert pressure, to lobby.

I’m in Vancouver, but haven’t heard from anyone I know about online testing. If I get an email or someone I know does, I’ll post something.

There is no official announcement on the regulars IRCC CIC communication channels.
Without official confirmation, there is no news.

Famous proverb in French: `` Il ne faut pas vendre la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué ''...

Translation in english : '' `` You must not sell the skin of the bear before having killed it ''.

The proverb sounds a bit violent lol but that's true. Nothing changes until it's officially announced by IRCC so they can be held accountable for what they say.
