Some people have mentioned having their sponsors contacting their MPs or Justice Canada to get them to expedite processing. Could anyone tell me about this or point me to a thread that does? Thanks

My understanding is the sponsor can contact their MP if their application falls outside of the average processing times posted on the CIC website. Even then, the MP can only inquire about the status of your file - she or he can't make the process go any faster. I don't think there is anything that can be done to expedite the processing of an application, unfortunately.

No - MPs can't expedite processing. This is a common misunderstanding.
