I rechecked all questions 100 times, but nothing is wrong with my answer. I m so upset, I have been working on it for 1 week, so please help me. I applied to extend it in 2024, so the answer of the questions is the same as before

My dependant has got email for biometrics. Does it mean the file is at the final stage. June 2023 applicant.
Seeing all of the 2023 applicants receiving updates really gave me a bit of relief as a 2024 applicant. Our journeys have been so long and stressful, many of us haven't seen our families in years. I guess it's all about to end. We're almost there guys!!!!! Keep the updates going

There is a guide in https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...ion-for-protected-person.791858/post-11019681
However, I clicked on "more than 6 months."
I applied in August 2024 and received my decision in April 2026

Hi everyone,
I’ve been waiting for my PR for 36 months (3 full years) now. Just received military status update this week but I don’t belive I will receive my PR soon. Our lives are completely on hold. The most frustrating part? Seeing people who applied in 2024 get their PRs approved in a matter of months. Nobody is exaggerating; it’s a brutal reality.
IRCC is clearly prioritizing their new AI-integrated digital portals to process 2024 applications at lightning speed to boost statistics, while leaving older applications to rot on dusty shelves or get stuck in endless security screening loops. The "first-in, first-out" rule has been completely abandoned. (Processing time can be changed based on the file but this completely unfair.
We can't just sit back and take this. Anyone stuck in this limbo should actively push for these steps:
1. Mass Webform Campaign: We should generate a standard complaint template explaining this systemic backlog injustice and spam IRCC via Webform. If hundreds of us send the same template, they cannot ignore it.
2 MP (Member of Parliament) Intervention: Reach out to your MP immediately and explain the situation.They have a dedicated IRCC channel to flag heavily delayed files.
3 GCMS Notes (ATIP): Keep ordering them to find exactly which stage (Eligibility, Security, etc.) your file is stuck in.
4 Writ of Mandamus: 36 months is well past any reasonable processing standard. It’s time to seriously consider taking this to Federal Court. IRCC often approves the file as soon as a lawsuit is filed just to avoid a judge.
5 Social media protest: We can send our replies to the IRCC and other related parlement members.
How many of us from 2023 or earlier are still stuck here? Has anyone successfully pushed their file through using an MP or a Mandamus lawsuit? Please share your experiences. I cannot stand it anymore even I am ready to demonstrate.
