I applied for my parents visitor visa in June 2023 (father retired military background retired in 2002), , IRCC asked for ADR of military service details in Aug 2023 (submitted within a week), and there is no response / update since then, can anyone guide what steps i can take to expedite or check application status? its just a visit visa and they are taking way too much time.
Same Case
Applied: 4 June 2024
ADR: 11 Sep 2024 (Submitted 12 Sep 2024)
No update & response since then ....
Wrt your expedite: There is no possibility/ procedure to get a speedy response / outcome.
What steps to take:
1) Keep raising webforms after regular intervals, i normally raise after 1.5 to 2 months (but seldom get response)
2) Find who is your MP... Write an email asking about application exceeded normal processing time....
3) Have patience ...
4) Keep praying ...
Check application status: From IRCC Tracker you can check status....

thanks for the response. I did raised webform last week and got response within 2 days, they mentioned that currently we don't need any document and application is in processing, some complex application takes more time than usual and if you submitted application before July 2021, only then withdraw and re-submit the application again, otherwise wait for now.
Does checking from MP with IRCC really helps? since our case seems to be taking more time due to military background check, i wonder if MP can extract more information on the case or delay?
Moreover, the IRCC tracker, it doesn't show anything, it just mentions the start date i.e. June 2023.I applied through https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en , is this the new portal or old?

I applied from Pakistan / VO Abu Dhabi
how to find MP?
https://www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en
Find Members of Parliament - Members of Parliament - House of Commons of Canada (ourcommons.ca)
You have to enter
FIND MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT
Search current and past members by name, constituency or postal code

Once you find the name of MP, click on it, and in Contact you will find email. Just email with details of application, as UCI No, Application No, date, name etc, and write how delay is affecting you etc etc, they might ask you consent for sharing information with MP office. If they do, fill details and submit via email back to MP office. Most of the time you will receive auto reply that due to lot of applications, you will be contacted within ????20 or 30 days. etc etc
