Hi everyone, I have a question, please answer if anyone knows. After August 2024, when I received the eligibility letter, there was no news from the immigration department until three years later, when there was no news from PR, I applied for an Atip. After that, on June 18, I received a letter that you said you did not join the military, you have one month to send documents to prove your point, otherwise your case will be rejected. I sent the documents and there has been no news yet. They did not even send me the Atip response. I have to wait or apply for a new Atip again. The behavior of the immigration department is very unfair. If I did not apply for an Atip, would they remember that there is a case here?

I got the same email on 17 June, and I sent it on the exact same day. But I didn’t get anything today

I got an email from IRCC to provide Police Clearance Certificates for myself and dependent. We already provided them in 2024 but they are asking again. Even it was showing in GCMS notes that they received the certificates. It seems like they have lost documents for 2023 applicants because many people here in the forum have been asked to resubmit some of their documents.
Now, I am not sure whether to upload the same PCCs from 2 years ago or shall I get new ones. Getting new ones is also another mission.

I believe our applications have gone far beyond normal processing times, and IRCC should be held accountable. Since applicants have the legal option to file a mandamus application, it appears that IRCC has recently sent document request letters to many of us. This creates the impression that they can argue they are actively working on our files if a mandamus application is filed, even though they may then say the application is still waiting for security screening to be completed.


In my view, this approach allows them to delay decisions while claiming that processing is ongoing. However, they cannot keep applications inactive indefinitely. If the delay becomes unreasonable and cannot be properly justified, a court may grant a mandamus order requiring IRCC to make a decision.
