Got to know about this lawyer's information from this forum sometime ago:
Erin Roth http://www.edelmann.ca
Erin Roth http://www.edelmann.ca
I definitely vouch for her. She is undoubtedly the best immigration/litigation lawyer. She is known by her nickname "The Genie". Her skills are unmatched by any other lawyer around. For FC applications, go with her with your eyes closed.
I have already applied Mandamus application in FC as of January 2020. Still waiting on Leave.
The question is how will they manage different applicants of different regions . Like im in Montreal.
Why it’s taking so long? Because of covid? Based on my experience the court gives IRCC limited time to respond!!
I suggest SSLAW in Calgary as well. A bit of background, a number of inland PR applicants waited for a long time for their PR and everyone we were approaching IRCC the answer was wait until the security screening completed. Finally, a group of around 20 went with this firm and 100% of us got pass request after 1-2 months without any hearing. First the lawyer send an email to IRCC and request for a response in 30 days and obviously IRCC did not respond and then after the 30 days, the lawyer filed for mandamus which gives IRCC three weeks to respond back at each stage. All the group got PPt in the second or third stage. So I highly recommend reaching out to this firm. At that time they gave a very good discount compared to other firms. Also, one if the partners recently interviewed with cbc about the delays. https://www.sshlaw.ca/
It really depends on the stage you get the response and the group number. you will pay a retainer amount stage by stage. The email to case management branch usually cost 500-700, mandamus filing and the first statement of response to IRCC response to the court: around 2k. Usually you should see a movement after this stage as IRCC does not want to spend time and money on 20 routine applications. If the case goes to hearing then it will cst more. I suggest reach out to them to see how much does it cost for a group. Mandamus should be filed individually but if they know 20 people will apply give a discount. Another suggestion to discuss, is a possibility of a class action lawsuit regrading the unfair process of applications, no souring system, no clarity, etc. I suggest reach out to them by email and see what’s the best/cheap option.
The applicants had family members involved with a radical Islamist group and IRCC told the court the need for a thorough security review made the delay reasonable. Imagine if applicants with ties to potential terrorist organizations can get a court to order IRCC to process their application in a set time, those whose applications are considered routine and even those who are non-routine due to issues like residency and who have been waiting 2+ years should logically be able to do so as well.

I dont know about ties to any organization but if you do not meet the residency requirements do you have to wait 3 years to be refused or ur app to be returned? Do you think IRCC works with logic? Their logic gates are shorted.
