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.
