Since your file has passed the 12 month mark from AOR you are within your rights to start inquiring officially to IRCC via webform, to AVO via email at accra.immigration@international.gc.ca and to your MP (Member of Parliament) as well as the Minister of Immigration. They then have to provide an explanation for the delay. They cannot and should not provide a generic answer at that point but an actual explanation because the 12 month mark has passed. Apparently they are not procedurally obligated to answer any inquiries until the exact 12 month period has passed and that's why most people get generic responses or no responses at all when they inquire before. The mandate used to be to process 80% of all files within 12 months, however, that has been changed to having to process all files within 12 months.

Also, have your ordered your GCMS notes? They will show any red flags that may be holding up your file. Please order your GCMS notes as soon as possible if you have not done so because it takes at least a month to get them and they are backdated to the date you order them, not the date you receive them, but also please send an inquiry to the various departments as soon as possible.
