Unreasonable delay

Still Waiting for IRCC?

When an application has remained unresolved for an unreasonable period, Mandamus may be a legal option. Where the legal requirements are met, it may seek an order requiring the government to perform its duty and make a decision.

What to understand before acting

Mandamus does not order IRCC to approve an application and never guarantees approval.
