Hello , Did you get any answer on this issue about information sharing? I have the same issue now . Please update me
It sounds like your application is experiencing significant delays, especially given that it’s been many months since you applied, which is unusually long even for PNP applications. Unfortunately, your situation with delayed security and criminality checks isn’t unique, and several other applicants have faced extended waiting times, often due to complex background verifications or other internal delays.
Here are a few options that other applicants in similar situations have tried:
1. Request for Re-Assessment through MP: Since you’ve already reached out to your MP, it may help to follow up specifically requesting if they can advocate for a re-assessment of your file. MPs sometimes have limited influence, but additional follow-ups and emphasizing the delay might prompt a review.
2. Raise a Case-Specific Inquiry: If you haven’t recently submitted a webform inquiry, it may be worth raising one, especially referencing the unusual delay and providing details from your GCMS notes (eligibility, security, criminality status, etc.). Be specific in asking if there’s any way to prioritize or expedite based on the prolonged timeline.
3. GCMS Notes Follow-Up: Since your GCMS notes indicate that “security” and “criminality” are still in progress, a more recent GCMS request might provide additional insight into what could be causing the holdup. Sometimes, seeing whether there has been any movement in the notes (even if minor) can indicate if the application is actively being processed or still in a queue.
4. Consider a Writ of Mandamus: Some applicants have successfully used a Writ of Mandamus to prompt a decision when there has been an unreasonable delay. While this approach can sometimes yield results, it’s a legal remedy, so it involves costs and possibly engaging an immigration lawyer. It’s also worth noting that IRCC may not respond to a Mandamus request if the application is still actively progressing, even if slowly. A lawyer could assess if this is the right option in your case.
While there are no guaranteed solutions, many applicants facing similar delays have found that persistence, consistent follow-ups, and sometimes legal advocacy (such as Mandamus) have helped to bring resolution to their cases.
