Question: Need parent visa for our baby birth, but processing times long

Hi everyone,

As the title says, we have applied for my mother's Visa to have her here in Canada for the birth of our baby in less than three months. And she has already completed her biometrics. Unfortunately, the processing times posted on CIC are currently ridiculously long. And with these times, she won't get the Visa to be here for our baby birth. As many of you are immigrants yourself, you probably know how difficult it will be to take care of a newborn in a foreign country without help of the family. Is there anything we can do so that my mother gets her Visa processed faster?
I'm a Canadian Citizen myself and we didn't mention anything about baby in her Visa application. Also, she emailed CIC to followup, but just got a generic response a week later that CIC's focus is now Afghanistan matters and they won't respond to individual inquiries at the moment. I'm going to give CIC center a call as well.
I'm really worried about the situation and would sincerely appreciate any advice you might have.

There is nothing you can do to expedite faster. Fortunately she has completed biometrics. She will have to wait for a decision.
