My MP talked to CIC as well,he told my a positive selection has been made in march,but as you said, nothing happened till now since background checks are conducted by CSIS, they can't make decision without the results of investigation.But what I see is , passing the buck seems to be a habit of them.

You're gonna be fine. Everybody has to pass the background check,but unfortunately to us, it's about different levels.

16 months 5 days here. Still waiting for IP. I added my wife in the middle of my application. Emailed Ottawa and they said adding her will delay the application. Not sure how much longer.
