That could take years depending on the country.

Is there anything that the applicator can do in such a case? If it takes that long?

Work with an immigration lawyer. There are several issues before a decision is made: IRCC needs all security information from the country where the applicant was; CBSA may need to provide security information of its own and assess, and then IRCC uses all documentation gathered to make a decision. Really depends on country too.

got it. Thank you for the details. my dad's application has been in similar situation. Applied in March along with my mom. Mom's application was approved in 2 weeks but still awaiting updates for him. Both had prior Canada visit visas and have been to Canada. Have active US visas as well. I'm just wondering what can be done do help get a decision for him as well

So he had a military or police background? Have you reached out to MP? May be next step. Filing writ is not really an option until a year has passed.

Applied for my father's super visa on July 1st. Till now, there has been no update on his application - not even a biometric request. I am unsure what my options are? Raized a webform and I reached out to my MP as well
His office said that the file is being processed in India and there is a huge backlog. Grateful for any insights?

How old is he and has he done biometrics in the past 10 years? Has he done his medical? Processing can take months. All you can do is wait.
