I would have suggested contacting your MP, but I feel that approach is now overused. More people are aware that it’s an option, and with the increasing number of applications, it’s becoming a routine step which may be reducing its effectiveness. In the past, it felt more impactful because it was a relatively unique request. MPs were contacted less often, and when they were, their involvement seemed to carry more weight than it does nowadays (at least in my opinion).

Anyway, if it makes you feel a bit better, many of us from March are stuck in background and prohibitions with timelines almost similar to yours.

Thank you @m34

You should write to the ATIP/privacy ombudsman about gcms delays that go beyond 60 days.

There are a few Youtube channels out there that really help giving the bigger picture of the key topics. Checkout this one below for example, videos are brief and have tons of infographics.

Hi, I had my interview on Feb 24th, they just wanted to check my entry stamp into Canada when I first came as a visitor. My LPP is all done. Waiting for oath now. Glad to be almost done with the process!!

The frustrating part is that some of July/Aug 2025 applicants has finished their journey in less than 6 months and got their passport, Happy for them As 4-6 month should be more than enough to finalize the application
But here we are waiting for FP requests/BG-LPP to be cleared/agent to assign to.
Just wondering what makes our BG so complicated that it needs months/years??? Isn't everyone's all activities monitored and recorded digitally all around the world???
