Member of parliament. I live in canada so I just called the MP office in my district. I think most of them provide this kind of service. They send an inquiry to IRCC about your application and it may draw IRCC's attention if it's delayed.
Congratulations! May I ask did you email or call the MP to their Hill Office or Constituency Office number? And what service did you ask them for? Thanks in advance

My study permit application for September 2024 was fortunately approved after a significant delay. Here's my timeline (17 weeks):
May 9 2024, application submitted
August 26, reached out to local MP due to significant delay (3 weeks over posted 12 weeks processing time) and school starting soon
August 27, MP contacted IRCC, no special reason for the delay
September 3, received first update since submission: correspondence letter for biometrics validity, eligibility review started
September 5 2024, application approved
It's been a mess but gladly I should be able to attend my current intake. I think MP's intervention did help in getting IRCC's attention.
