Success Story: From 2+ Years of Silence to PR in 24 Hours: How Mandamus Moved a Stalled CEC File

Learn how we helped our client turn over two years of silence on their CEC application into a COPR by filing a mandamus application.
Our client’s PR application was finalized after we sent IRCC a demand letter highlighting the steps the client had taken to follow-up with their application since submission and the prejudice they had suffered due to the delay. This letter was followed by an application to the Federal Court for a mandamus order. Shortly after filing the mandamus application, the client received a letter inviting them to confirm their PR status on the online portal.
