My dad's file is in security screening since Dec 2023. He had several years of conscript over 50 years ago in China.
I want to apply for Mandamus for my parents' application.
Can anyone share the effectiveness of Mandamus?

Highly specific. Suggest you speak to a lawyer.

That said: while 2 1/2 years for PGP may seem long, my understanding is it's not that long actually. If not excessively long, mandamus tends to be unsuccessful - or in other words, 'this may be long, but it's not exceptionally long processing time' is actually a working defence for the IRCC.

Thanks for your input!

I am preparing Mandamus by myself. I will wait for a while to submit Mandamus.

Please advise how long is the excessively long enough to submit Mandamus?

I do not know. I believe a lawyer would have a better idea.

Hence the suggestion above.
 
Hi, did you apply for Mandamus? I am planning to do it by myself. Are there any Suggestions?
Yes, I applied by myself for my parents by using Chatgpt. Now still waiting. If I am successful, I will share my experience in here. But now, do not know the result.

Hi Kate,
Did you request Atip from CSIS on behalf of your father? I am planning to apply CSIS notes on behalf of my husband. I am the sponsor. But I don't know I should apply under PRIVATE ACT or under Access to Information ACT. If you did, could you please give me any advice? Thanks
