How long does it take to process a Mexican criminal background check when outside of Mexico?

My wife had lived in Mexico for a year so we had to apply for a criminal background check in Mexico. The instructions for applying when outside of the country were to send the items for the criminal background check to the Canadian embassy in Mexico and that they would process the background check. We did this via Fed Ex the end of September. They sent us an email end of October asking us to send this plus some other documents. I responded saying we had already sent it. I'm assuming that sometimes these things can take awhile, but I'm wondering how long it normally takes to process these things, specifically the Mexican one.

Hello,

If they are asking for other documents you should try to figure out exactly what they want from you. I have resubmitted pictures, answers to questions with different supporting documents trying to appease. They did not respond to our criminal background check and it's a no news is good news scenerio as we had to assume they were happy as eventually we got a acceptance letter for the pr card.
