Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know, I contacted my MP's office two days ago. The office called me today, to update me on my application - This is what she said - "Background check still in progress. File is still in queue and pending. I need to wait until Feb 7, 2014 for an update/good news from CIC as that is when the 12 months period ends. And IF I don't hear back from them even then, I should let my MP's office know and then they will send a 'friendly reminder' to CIC enquiring about my file".
