I had read ur posts . We are in same boat
My background check start date is May 2018. We are stuck background check yet. Says that bgc may take one year almost . We are still waiting patiently but today my wife contacted to MP . She said that when ur background check will be complete then after review will be start of ur file . it may take six months more. what is this do u know about it . waiting ur helpful reply.
don't get wrong you guys but i feel like mp's cant do anything for us, the immigration system has a process and until the process is done we have to wait. Just be patient and pray.
