1. Unless your MP is in the opposition you often get a generic response that CIC are dealing with the application (they are not really as its just gathering dust). An MP within the current 'ruling' Feds is unlikely to push this any further unless they are in a marginal seat and they are sweating on an impending by election. However you have nothing to lose and hey your MP may just decide to see that service delayed is service denied.
2. The most important outcome of your ATIP report is it enables you to see if you are in the 'background check loop' - CIC run 3 checks , FOSS, RCMP, CSIS. These checks have different validity dates. If you are not scheduled for a test when one check expires then it has to be re-run and hey guess what by the time its re-run one or more of the other checks are expired and its Groundhog Day all over. This seems to mostly impact on applicants with complex CSIS checks.
3. The only seemingly effective solution for delayed cases beyond the 36month non routine timeline is WOM (especially if you did have 1095 days and your RQ docs are solid). The alternative is if your prior application had grounds for RQ issuance such as you not having 1095 days and you now do...it may be better to re-apply even if you are RQd again. The GTA has pre-test RQd applicants who mailed their application to Sidney in May 2013 and they are done their oath in the 3rd week of June 2014!!
