    110 Days Without AOR – Should I Contact My MP?

    This is fairly normal wait time so there is nothing to do but wait. If you still haven’t received AOR in a few months then would call IRCC so they can flag your file. If it is deemed that you have been waiting much longer than others then that should help. An MP can’t do much especially if you...

    FESS. Front end Screen Security

    You can ask your MP to follow-up but that is unlikely to help but worth a shot. You only real way to get an answer for FESS is to hire a lawyer and file a writ of mandamus. Calling and submitting webforms monthly have no impact but it does overwhelm resources that could be used doing other things.
