Yes. This was my case. But I contacted my MP direct in Ottawa and she was very effective. The problem is that most here are contacting their local MP office instead of the Ottawa office. I've said it many times here but it gets ignored. When you contact your local MP office your MP has no involvement. It is just some secretary that calls for you to immigration and gets no results...only updates.
My MP put me in contact with Jenny Kwan and in the end were able to get my interview waived and application finished within two months of contacting them. Not to be rude but many here complain that their MPs have done nothing and I don't know how many times I've written here to contact your MP in Ottawa!
