Its very frustrating. In 2020, they couldnt hire a good IT team to develop a streamlined infrastructure. At this point, i am having mental breakdown.
It seems like the process of creating a PDF File after the application is approved it's not connected with the backend systems.

No, but my AOR is the same as you. I didn't receive it. Anythings change for you?
Nothing that I can understand from the profile. I called them today and they said it is the same. Criminality in progress and security not started. The lady said that my biometric needs to be validated and added to the profile then my criminality will be passed but my biometric shows completed from October 20th.

Thank you for your suggestion. @legalfalcon Do you think this is a necessary step for me?
An MP inquiry is not a right, rather it is a privilege given to the Members of Parliament to obtain your personal information from a federal agency.

Section 8 of the Privacy act states:
Disclosure of personal information

  • 8 (1) Personal information under the control of a government institution shall not, without the consent of the individual to whom it relates, be disclosed by the institution except in accordance with this section.

    Where personal information may be disclosed

    (2) Subject to any other Act of Parliament, personal information under the control of a government institution may be disclosed
    (a) ...
  • (b) ...
  • (c) ...
  • (d) ...
  • (e) ...
  • (f) ...
  • (g) to a member of Parliament for the purpose of assisting the individual to whom the information relates in resolving a problem;

There is no bar on how many times you can ask. It all depends on whether your MP will do it for you if you have already done it in the past.

Also, the average processing times for all application have gone up.

As per IRCC's 2019 annual report the avg. processing time for FSW was 9 months and CEC was 7 months. And this was pre-COVID.

How long did it take to process an Express Entry application?

Table 35 displays the time, in months, that IRCC took to process 80% of applications under each program. In 2019, IRCC did not meet the processing standard of finalizing 80% of all applications sourced via Express Entry within six months. The processing time for Express Entry, overall, was eight months. As an alternative measure of processing times, 60% of applications finalized in the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2019, were completed within the six-month service standard.

Data is operational and as such should be considered preliminary and subject to change.

  • Processing times refer to the time in which 80% of applications were finalized by IRCC. The processing time is measured from the day a complete application is received until the time a final decision is made by an immigration officer.
