The point is now we can ask them if it’s beyond our processing time. Some applications who undergoes security screening will be the exceptional cases. In those qlso i feel maximum time for processing will be 7 months. Before we were not in a position to take any action considering the time was 24 months

Hopefully, this could also change SLA time (maybe less than 6 months?) next year if IRCC's listed FSW-O time stays at 7 months.

That's good to see. When we had 27 months as waiting time - it was considered for Writ of Mandamus. If someone was within that timeline, the case against IRCC for unreasonable delay was dismissed without any further consideration.

However, I don't know how 7 months can become the new timeline for Writ of Mandamus as IRCC will continue to send some applicants for comprehensive security checks (which are unlikely to meet that criteria).

Do they actually use that 80th percentile processing time for argument against Writ of Mandamus? IMO that stat is pretty meaningless. I'm pretty sure the reason its down to 7 months is because they only restarted FSW ITAs a year ago, so every approved case has processing times < 12months, which heavily skewed the 80th percentile towards shorter periods.

For Writ for Mandamus, yes. I guess, that's why IRCC is very conservative with SLAs and Processing times on their website. From a Writ of Mandamus text that I was reading a while back. Read the last line here (very interesting).

>Clear Right to the Performance of that Duty/ Unreasonable Delay
In the vast majority of cases in the immigration context where mandamus is sought, the issue of whether to grant mandamus effectively concerns the clear right to the performance of the duty, or more accurately, the reasonableness of the delay during which no such performance has occurred.

>From the reasons of the Court, it appears that three
requirements must be met if a delay is to be considered
unreasonable:
(1) the delay in question has been longer than the nature of the
process required, prima facie;
(2) the applicant and his counsel are not responsible for the
delay; and
(3) the authority responsible for the delay has not provided
satisfactory justification.

>Thus, when contemplating whether to commence a mandamus application, counsel should make reference to the processing times listed on the CIC website. Unreasonable delay can only be determined in comparison to average processing times.

I got my GCMS notes today and the last entry was on 2023/04/03 (File transferred to DN for review- stat questions spouse). AOR 2 March, My spouse's open work permit was refused two times back in 2019 so I submitted additional documents regarding previous visa denials in client information section.

when did you applied for notes and how did you get it? on email ?

I'm not surprised, politicians sure will keep these legislations as closed as possible to be fair to new immigrants.

Review for stat questions is bound to invite addition scrutiny and delayed processing. You need to wait till your application is reviewed, nothing that you can do to expedite.

From AOR 13 March from eligibility in progress to Eligibility complete, it took me 2 months and 18 days in my case.

 

[mololokoko]

I actually have a question. My background check is " we are processing your background check since 27 june" how much time should it take to be completed ?

This can take few days to weeks to months

Many people had this clear up overnight and got their Portal / RFV
While some are stuck from Aug 2022 - Sadly there is no prediction around this

Good Luck with yours
