Study Permit in Background check for over 9 months - filing writ of mandamus

[hamedrq7]

Hey everyone. I submitted my study permit application in October 2024 (I'm an international applicant from Iran). According to the CBSA note, my application has been in background/security check since November 2024. The posted processing time for my type of application is around 14–16 weeks, but it's now been almost a year.

I'm planning to file a writ of mandamus in November 2025, but before that, I want to send a demand letter. Can anyone help me with how to write it, what additional content I should include, and where exactly to send it?

All I know is that the letter should say something like, 'I'll be filing a writ of mandamus in 30 days if there's no update on my application,' but I’m not sure how to structure it or who to send it to.

Thanks in advance!

What type of degree and in what field? What is your employment education background? There are certain fields where enhanced review would be more justified and likely too early for mandamus in general.
