- Start date
we should all get together people whoz file is stuck due to background checks my parents application is stuck in background check since 2020 applied in 2019 and still after 5 years MP says cant do anything its third party doing background
WE all need to get together and sign petition so that they shpuld have fixe timeline to do background check like 2-3 or max 6 months not 6-6 years we all need to raise voice otherwise we will be waiting for our loved ones all our life
that is not right at alll ircc first gave you hopes approved ur visa than asked for military records i guesss visa officer just forgot to do ur background check and approved ur visa and after he remembered and put hold on ur application
@legalfalcon - Hello, We need your input on this matter please. This thread has been created specifically for PR/ Citizens who have applied for their parents visit visa from different parts of the world to come and visit them, and see the new life they are leading.
But because of their old military service record, IRCC has kept our family’s applications in Limbo. Some have been waiting for more than 2 years. All this for our retired aged parents, most of which are 70+ years old and (can) have limitations of travelling. For me personally, i will completing 1 year soon waiting for the process to finish for my parents who have a rich travelling history all across including US Australia and Europe.
Is there no right an applicant have on timelines other than going for Mandamus? Some folks on forum have said Mandamus is no guarantee too as the judge goes in favour of security agency timelines. Our MPs have gave up on giving us a fruitful response too.
It will be great for you to throw some light on this. Thank you @legalfalcon in advance. What is the best course of action we can follow ?

Hi everyone. M also stuck in same situation. Application filed twice. Both in background checks. First of all, we should all make a watsapp/ telegram group to come together as many people are stuck and there is no common platform to share info.
I have created this telegram app group. Interested please join. We need to join hands to come out of this situation.

Mind creating Whatsapp group ? I guess people use WhatsApp more than telegram
Hi, Could you share what kind of document you submitted to pass the request? Thank you

Applied for Parents Visitor Visa on April 29th, 2022
Country of Origin: Pakistan
Military Service: Pak Navy
ADR: 12 December 2022
ADR submitted: 18 December 2022
Multiple calls, GCMS Notes, MP inquiries - no response
CSIS confirmed in GCMS notes that they cleared our file and sent back to CBSA, IRCC says CBSA is conducting check, GCMS says Criminality: Passed, Eligibility: Passed, Security: In Progress
It has been 32 months and 14 days....each and every day I check the portal/tracker for any updates, whenever I order GCMS notes I get a ghost update which just gives me a bit of hope.
Oh and decided to re-apply for one of the parents separately, and IRCC sent back the application as there was already an application in progress.
22 months- So we are stuck with our application- no way out???? cannot reapply for one parent separately now???? Just confirming as I was thinking it too to apply for my mother visitor visa instead! Will anyone suggest to withdraw our existing applications and redo whole new app? I feel like applications has been lost somewhere in the process and no one paying attention because of the volume of backlogs!!!!!!!! Honestly this has been a disheartening experience
