I just called them. They said they have received our initial email, but the person that is designated to handle immigration questions is out this week, which is why we have not received a reply. She informed me that the MP can never speed up the application process, and I told her that's not what we're looking for; we are just looking for answers since Ottawa is not responding to my attorney's email (I have little faith in my attorney at this point and am beginning to wonder if she actually did email Ottawa at all) in over five weeks now. The lady I spoke with at the MP's office said that they CAN look into the file and see if the RPRF was received and where things currently stand and can give us some peace of mind. She asked me to email her with all of our information (hubby's full address, both of our client IDs, both of our date of birth, and our file number) and said she will attach the two emails together and forward it on the to person that handles this kind of stuffs.
