    Of course it’s not guaranteed , mandamus never is. But that doesn’t mean waiting until the five-year mark will somehow give you a better chance. If there’s no serious security concern or other valid explanation for the delay, you can already make a strong argument that a delay of this length is...

    A lawyer advising you to wait to pass 5 years? for what reason? It is obviously a very unreasonable delay past 3 years

    Hi thanks for taking the time to share your case! I've seen a few previous mandamus testimonies where people got updates surprisingly quickly after starting the process. My feeling is that this mostly happens when the application is already close to completion and is just sitting in...

    Hello guys, Anyone here currently going through mandamus for an application stuck in security screening? I’m interested in comparing timelines and seeing whether it has triggered any movement on people’s files. I know the Federal Court is currently backlogged with JR files, but a few years ago...

    Hello, 21 months here and I have started Mandamus by myself to try and nudge IRCC. I am keeping my expectations low as the court has a huge backlog of judicial review cases, but if there's a tiny chance it might trigger some movement then it's worth a shot.

    Hi everyone, I'm sitting at 14 months now with no movement since security started. AOR was November 2024 so coming up on 18 months overall. Seeing people in this thread who've been in limbo for 2-3 years is honestly disheartening, you start to wonder if there's an end in sight. Hoping for...
