1. Check processing time here for your country: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.aspBobs said:
2. Create an cic account online, link it with the application.
IRCC is probably running background checks. There are a number of ex-defense services applicants who have applied in August 2016 (and later) and are still waiting for decisions.
Your dad's application could be taking longer to process if:
1. He held an operations-type role. For example, non-administrative functions/departments
2. He was posted in border areas (non-family type postings).... worked in high-security areas..... handled highly-sensitive information.... served during a war
3. He was working at a senior rank in the defense services
4. His travel history did not include countries like the US/UK/Schengen, etc
Here's the other thread:

TRV decisions in these cases are taking several months beyond the processing times stated on the IRCC website
Cheers

Thanks ...
We are hoping the same by last 7 seven months.
Why i added the forum here is becasue, my kid was having a Letter writing on his school last week. Actually teacher was teaching him to to write letter and how to post a letter. Last day we got that letter thru post, and he wrote about his grandparents, saying he is missing his GP and why they are not coming. Becasue 1st time there is gap of almost 2 years not seeing them. Becasue they used to visit us when we were at Dubai.
