I am in the same boat my 12th month mark is today this is so frustrating like why is this taking so long . im sorry to say but i am starting to feel like this is discrimination now. we sent them everything they asked for. Does it really take 12 months to verify a security check. my husband has no criminal record nor has he every left his country of Tunisia. how do i contact my MP, i am from Toronto ?No update really. It’s been 12 months an two weeks since they have received our app.
I contacted my MP and a person his team said that only the security check remains to be processed. Otherwise our file is normal, no problem in sight.
They also told be I should not contact the VO because they don’t have to answer to sponsors directly. So basically, suffer in silence.
