Hello;
I am writing to see if anyone has any idea or similar experience about my case?
My timeline:
  • PR application received: September 25, 2023
  • Biometrics completed: March 27, 2024
  • Security/background screening started: November 6, 2024
  • Mandamus application filed in Federal Court
  • The government submitted its response opposing the mandamus in March 2026, stating that security screening was still ongoing
My PR application has now been processing for almost 35 months, including approximately 21 months in security screening.

Has anyone with a similar non-Express Entry PNP timeline recently received PR? Did mandamus eventually help, and how long did security screening take in your case?

Any genuine experience or informed interpretation would be appreciated.
Application: August 2023
AOR: December 2023
Still in progress, Three years completed.
