Everytime my applicant approaches the processing time for Amman applicants CIC updates an even longer wait time. My MP was supposed to contact me weeks/months ago and now no news if heard from them. On one email a representative from Jason Kenney's office sent me, specified and even PROMISED for updates on his file as soon as I sent the privacy act form which I did immediately. I'm not surprised I haven't heard back.
