1. You can send a Case Specific Enquiry/IRCC web form + email NDVO to request for expedited decisions.

2. Try linking their applications to their online accounts to get a better idea about the processing status.

3. I'm assuming they applied through a VFS/VAC. If that's the case then contact VFS/VAC to know if IRCC had requested any additional documents for processing their applications.

4. Do any of these applicants work/have worked in the defense services, police, government department, judiciary.... or have traveled to/lived in a high-risk country..... or work/academics in research in a sensitive field? If yes, then it is possible that processing is taking longer due to background checks
