;D Yes! contacting a MP was my wonderful husbands Idea as well. He called our MP and she indeed called CIC. Our MP stated, I have good news for you today, you were approved today, you will hear from them soon..... and that was 3 days ago.. I am still waiting for anything official.. and do not expect anything soon..... This is why I started to post here..To share my long wait...and to say, don't worry if you hear nothing or if many people get pr before you.. There is no rhyme or reason to the way cic does there work.. hang in there, like me... I have been waiting over a year now..
