Just got a call from our MP that my parents' application is going through Security/Criminality check. 2nd medical and eligibility has passed already. Does anyone know how much time it takes for the security stage to finish? And also, is there any other stage after this?

Thanks
There is no time limit. My parents file stuck in background checking from last 1 and half year. 3 medical has been done. Ircc completely silent and not give any response. Now my frustration increased on very high level. Because ircc is not taking seriousness no pgp file. Only student visas are granting in big amount.

To cancel authorized representative you have to use same form in which we give power to represent , there is a section in which you state that you are hereby cancelling power to represent you , must be printed and signed by principal applicant and dependent if any and dated, after signing get a photocopy of it scan it and submit it via webform or email (if available) How long it will take enforce that I dont know. Wishing good luck

About 2 weeks I’d say from my experience
 
They can leave the country. As long as they keep meeting their RO, then you can bring them their renewed PR cards when they arrive in the mail.

In some cases applicants are required to go and pickup their cards if IRCC wants to make sure they continue to meet their RO. In that case, they will need to return to Canada to pickup their card(s).
But returning to Canada without PR card is another issue if they are asked to pick up in person. They might need to provide evidence of fulfilling their PR requirements especially since they have been PR for quite a bit.
 
Is there is anyway to check the status of pr card other than online, it's been 6 months now, and I'm still waiting for the card
You need to send a web form complaining about it. Check for more information here

After waiting for over 100 days I checked and saw the above link and sent the required mail. Not long after I got a mail that my photo was rejected on the virtual landing platform! I had to submit 3 more times before it was accepted. I also sent emails to the addresses that communicated with me and complained via webforms before the final photo was approved and I got the card in the mailbox within a week.
you need to act fast because there’s a deadline for responding.

I said as long as they meet their RO. They can apply for PRTD and come back to pickup their PR cards. As long as they meet their RO, they can get PRTD.

I completely agree with your opinion. The government only cares about the funding from students and future votes from refugees.

This doesn't surprise me. My file has finally gotten approved. However, I request ATIP notes from IRCC as advised by my MPP. I was shocked to find that the PF response I submitted had not been forwarded to CMAU for no apparent reason - all the notes said is "waiting for due date to pass before forwarding to CMAU". But the call from MPP's office triggered them to move the file and since then, ALL of the remaining steps were completed in less than 2 months. I wish you the best and hope things turnaround fast.

Hi Everyone, Can someone please give me the phone number to call and follow up on my parents application? We have been waiting since September for virtual landing instruction! Sent multiple webforms and got no specific response. I am wondering if there is any special number that we can talk to someone and not a robot!
