We are in the same position. My GCMS notes didn’t tell me anything much. I did all those thing. I recently emailed the Toronto visa office along with the Caribbean office too. Because I applied in Canada just to see if they can help.Yes, I sent email to sgvo & webform mail to CIC, they reply me same always; the reply is " - file is in queue for review by a VO & it is pending". after completion of review, they will contact or ask further if needed. Quite generalized reply.
I ordered gcms note in last May, did not find any interview schedule / site visit etc.
Right now, no life line remains to use; I used all - MP / webforms/ sgvo mail/ gcms note ;
Do you have any life time to use?
Now all I do is keep in touch with the MP and he sets a timer and calls the immigration MP line once every 2 months. That’s the most I can do. Right now I’m in background check so they told him they don’t have any timeframe and all we can do is wait. But she knows when they update the account- so now they just put a note that’s it’s still ongoing. However, he says if they don’t touch the account for 4 months he can ask for ‘some higher head/supervisor (I can’t remember the name) to check on it’.
So what I’m basically saying is that we’ve done all we can, but we can still contact the MP in the time being. Atleast he’ll get info we might not get.
