Mandamus
Mandamus is a judicial remedy in the form of an order from a court to any government, subordinate court, corporation, or public authority, to do some specific act which that body is obliged under law to do, and which is in the nature of public duty, and in certain cases one of a statutory duty.
Real cost $50 I think, but with the "help" of a lawyer from $1,000 and up.
Is TR to PR pathway coming back? Only thing I can see here is lot of 500+ scores, which are usually inland, might go that way and pool becomes less dense, even still I would think 490+ is the best we might get
$1k to file. Upto $10k (and sometimes more) if there's a full hearing at the Federal Court. Usually though the file starts moving the moment you file for mandamus. So you'll be out $1k in all likelihood. I remember Steven Meurrens was charging $1k to file some time back.
You can represent and file it yourself as well and in that case you'd only be out $50 but I wouldn't recommend that as you didn't even know what mandamus is...
Commit to better jobs and quit once you have the PR. You cannot ride two horses at the same time. You have 2 years to move to Canada once you get your PR. If better job gets you good pay, enjoy it and quit after 1 year and then move to Canada.
Also, have you ordered your GCMS notes? It might give you a better picture of what is happening with your application.

I have no idea about TR to PR. Couldn't care less about 'lazy enabling lazy' pathways to immigration.
yes I did. Received them in June 2022. It says review required for POF since jan 2021. for which I was asked for ADR which I provided within 4-5 days. No update after that.
Just when I thought the IRCC couldn't screw up any more.... They sent me a mail saying that they just sent my PR card to my lawyer (my work permit lawyer who has nothing to do with PR). I clearly asked those fools via webform/fax to send it to my home address which I mentioned. How can a federal organization be so pathetic....
IRCC has released lot of new data on Backlogs. Take a look.

Tackling immigration backlogs to help Canadian businesses grow
August 24, 2022—Ottawa—Canada is a destination of choice for people looking for a new place to work, study and build their lives with their families, and immigration is key to helping employers fill hundreds of thousands of vacant positions across the country and grow our economy.
The Honourable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today highlighted ongoing work to strengthen Canada’s immigration system and reduce application backlogs, with a focus on addressing labour shortages, improving client experience, and reuniting families. As part of this plan, the Minister announced that Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will have hired up to 1,250 new employees by the end of the fall to increase our processing capacity and tackle the backlogs in the short term, while we take action to make our system more sustainable in the long term.
These new hires, as well as support provided through the $85 million from the Economic and Fiscal Update 2021, have allowed us to reduce wait times and return to pre-pandemic service standards for new clients in critical areas, including the six-month service standard for the Express Entry permanent residence pathway, the 12-month service standard for family reunification through spousal sponsorship, and permanent resident cards.
With unprecedented interest in Canada from applicants all over the world, IRCC continues to set the bar higher for immigration processing. In 2021, we set a historic record by admitting more than 405,000 new permanent residents to Canada. Our target for 2022 is to welcome 431,000 permanent residents, and we are well on our way to achieving it, with approximately 275,000 admissions from January 1 to July 31—a number reached faster than in any previous year.
IRCC was able to issue more than 199,000 work permits in 2021. This year, we issued over 349,000 new work permits from January 1 to July 31, compared to approximately 112,000 issued during the same period in 2021. These include over 220,000 open work permits, which allow permit holders to work anywhere in Canada in almost any occupation. These work permits mean up to 1,700 new people every day are able to come work in Canada and help grow our economy.
Canada is also a top destination for international students. In 2021, IRCC finalized almost 560,000 study permit applications, surpassing our previous record from 2019 by 31%. IRCC is already outpacing that number in 2022, with almost 360,000 study permits finalized between January 1 and July 31, 2022, compared to about 306,000 finalized in the same period in 2021.
However, responding to humanitarian crises and updating aging technology to meet demands have led to processing delays and longer wait times. Our focus is on reducing existing backlogs, which are the applications that have been in our inventories longer than our service standards. At the end of July, about 54% of applications in our inventories were considered in backlog. We are aiming to process 80% of all new applications within these standards, accounting for expected delays in complex cases.
Continuing to improve Canada’s immigration system will increase our ability to attract top talent from around the world, and help solve key labour shortages in sectors like tourism, health care, agriculture, transportation, and the skilled trades. To keep Canadians up to date on our progress toward reducing the backlogs, IRCC will publish monthly data on our website. We will share more information in the coming weeks and months on additional measures that will help get workers into the economy, reunite families, and ensure that our immigration system works for everyone.

Hello Folks! Seeking a Clarification - For Express Entry - Under FSW - If the person is already in Canada on temporary residence visa and has recived an ITA to apply. Does he still need to show proof of funds? If yes, do they need to be in Canadian bank account or home country account?
Yes you still need to show PoF, unless you have an LMIA or a permanent job offer (or CEC which you are not). You show the money in any bank account in the world that you have money in - as long as it is a verifiable account and money has been there for at least 4 months.
