I am in the same boat. Parents applied for super visa in July 2022. Stuck at background check. Any news for you?

Not yet. Might have to reach out the MP to contact IRCC on my behalf.

It's scary to see how long they take to process a simple visa application.

Unfortunately the MPs cannot do anything. The only thing we can do is to file a write of mandamus application which costs over $2500. Very disappointing to see what is happening.

Yeah and it seems that there is a mandamus backlog at the moment which compounds the issue even further. Not sure what to do at this point.
