I had filed for visitor visa renewal for my 9 year old daughter on 16th March 22. Till today I haven't got any reply on the same. Visa renewal is because her passport was renewed. It's been already more then 45 working days. Could someone enlighten here?

 

[Travelerinc]

Yes, March 4, 2022

Hi, have you got any updates on your application. Today I visited VFC global for my biometrics enrollment and their feedback on processing time is not encouraging as it may take more than what mentioned in IRCC website and they also said processing time on website should be counted by business days

Which country/ location did you visit?

March 10th will be 2 months since biometrics were completely for my mother in law and today exactly 2 months since we applied on the new IRCC portal. No movement at all on the application, no estimated timeline, no updates. I am not sure what this processing times website is for, but it is not related to real processing times.

Its a rough estimate when i phone they say they are delayed because of covid, ukraine and Afghanistan

Hello all. It has been 45 days since it's showing Biometrics Completed and no update after this. I have applied for my mother in Law trv visa on new IRCC portal. What should I do next? My mother in law lives in Russia. It was showing 40 days in processing times at the time when we applied.
When I contacted IRCC though the web form, for some reason they replied from Warsaw:
