CAN+ visa application process 2024

[calgary17]

Hi
The biometrics need to be repeated for Visitor visa or they are valid for some years
Also, if we haven’t heard on the application for 7-8 months, when the online processing time shows as 31 days, can we withdraw the app and submit again?
Or should I reach out to Mp?

You have to read carefully what CAN+ is for. Nowhere it is mentioned on Canadian Commission website that you will get visa for Canada 100% just because you got for USA. It says it may expediate your application ; processing time, your application might be processed fast but that does not mean it will be approved. Therefore, you should have attached all relevant documents considering you hold a Pakistan passport . In some cases , this expediated processing is not even fast. For example, in my case, I also had a valid US visa but I am stuck at background processing for the last 11 months. There is no consistent criteria when it comes to evaluating applications. It is better to be safe than sorry and to be honest it is not a good idea to have another person sponsor your trip that also negates your application if you can not sponsor your trip then how can you buy a ticket back to Pakistan. Just my thoughts i might be wrong

I didnt say my friend is sponsoring my trip, I just mentioned that I will stay at his home.

The processing time and outcome is same, so dont stress on CAN+. I have seen people with valid USA visas and multiple USA trips getting refusals. So relax.

already informed
there is no CAN+ pathway.
All applications are same, if you have a valid USA visa, you attach it with your application and input the visa number in your form.
The system itself mark it as CAN+.

Relax, there is no difference in application input and no effect on processing or outcome of the CAN+ application.

will be sent to the visa office for expedited processing. But will the visa office process them immediately?

Ok tell me
where do you mark your application as CAN+? Is there any special field on the application form to say "This is a CAN+ application"
what is the difference in CAN+ and non-CAN+ applications? in terms of processing and outcome?

Let me answer you now
where do you mark your application as CAN+? Is there any special field on the application form to say "This is a CAN+ application"
You do not mark it as CAN+. You just input if you have a USA visa or Previous CAnadaian visa and SYSTEM mark it as CAN+

what is the difference in CAN+ and non-CAN+ applications? in terms of processing and outcome?
In practice, ZERO difference. I have personally applied twice and my application was CAN+, there is no difference in PROCESSING TIME and OUTCOME between my CAN+ application and a casual non-CAN+ application. Both took same time and same outcomes.

In conclusion, The CAN+ is a dead scheme and Visa offices are not honoring any CAN+ application in their regular practice!
The visa offices are processing the files according to their workload not according to CAN+ vs non-CAN+ files.
This is what happening on the ground, so this is the practice. Peace!
