MP just get back to me saying that my application is non-routine and is within security checks with third-parties!
I am wondering why non-routine since there are no No fingerprints request and no Interview invite. Why such long security checks after many years living in Canada.
What is happening on my case is not fair at all.
BTW, MP office said the new 8 months timeframe is for new applications and not for the applications which is under process!!!
I think your MP office is just telling you whatever IRCC is telling them. Something similar happened to me when IRCC told my MP office that IRCC needs more time to look into my file, when the reality is the GCMS notes showed the tasks either completed or not started. So, how can they know they need more time for something they haven't even started on?
There's no point arguing with your MP's office people, they don't really have any obligations to aggressively push for you. If you got someone in that office who is willing to proactively help you - awesome, but if you don't, that's kind of the expectations.
