I reached out to my MP to help with the application since i was past the 13 month mark. They called the IRCC contact Centre and were told that the processing times have increased by an additional 2 months. They also mentioned that my security hasn't cleared and that there is no fixed timeline for that. They said they will follow up again on my behalf in March. I am not sure what else i can do. The last update i received was on May 3rd. Does anyone have any suggestions.

Have you requested notes from CBSA? CBSA notes will show the status of Security check. I had the same response from the MP when I reached out to them in June 2025, and when I received CBSA notes, Security had surprisingly been cleared since Feb 2025.

Not particularly surprised that the average processing time has increased, but this change was never publicly communicated (it still shows 13 months). So I’m not sure how that agent obtained this information. Agents also tend to use this as a way to limit or deflect inquiries (including those from MPs), since, in theory, the “average” can always be extended indefinitely, allowing any outstanding application to remain within a publicly stated average.
