I just got the response back from my MP's office. They didn't hesitate to contact IRCC and I didn't have this issue of app being stuck in Mississauga. I just explained to them that my background check had been in progress since the end of February and that they never sent me a request for fingerprints until I prompted the VO to do so after seeing the request being made ( I think it was through Mississauga office) and the VO never followed up and it was past their due date of April 2, which is why I think my app got stalled with the background check.

It's my opinion that when they try to change the protocol on how things are done, (maybe try and speed things up, ironically) perhaps they don't follow-up with things when file transfer happens, hence the ridiculous delay in processing.

so do you think I should have my MP contact them??
I think as of right now I'm going to be waiting till I get my notes and see what those say.

Yes, wait for the notes and read through them before contacting your MP. This is what I did. It was also how I found out that they had requested the RCMP fingerprinting and what prompted me to contact the VO because we never received the request. This also allowed me to pass on the info to my MP's office so they could have all the info to make a more informed inquiry to IRCC.
