    Finally an update. My BG turned complete today (23 Aug 2023 applicant / Oct 5 AOR). And in the next 20 mins, I also got my 3rd FP request. Prohibitions still pending. Hopefully the file concludes after the FP. Its exhausting TBH!

    Every individual is aware of their BG and second that. Gross incompetence and lack of accountability of the institution & the people within the institution. Those stuck in BG/Security clearance for 2+ years know their background, where they come from & if there is a legitimate reason for the...

    All of the above comments make sense. Here is my mandamus story. I filed for the judicial review on my own at 16 month mark (Aug 2023 applicant stuck at BG/Security). Got the usual no decision letter. Spoke to a lawyer who advised to withdraw the review as 16 months is least likely to result...
