Canda visitor visa

When did you do your biometrics? Your case has started to be processed now so you should hear about refusal/approval relatively soon.
confused what about the 14th of September? If you applied in April how did you do biometrics on the 1st of April?
Applied in March end got Biometric done in VFS on 30 March 2022 and received Biometric validity letter on 14/9/2022
Now that you have the BVL it means that processing has started so you should get a decision in September or October.
But some say that once u have a BVL and there is no Rejection in 24-48 hrs then there is a high possibility of getting it approved. Is this right ?
Hello everyone,I applied for a Business visa(for a business conference scheduled for September 27th-30th) online on April 29th,2022,Biometrics was done on July 4th.No update received until August 22nd which reads "Biometrics Completed" and nothing else has been heard from IRCC.Now that I was not able to attend the conference because of the delay,does anybody have a clue of whether the visa will be approved or not? Your advice is highly appreciated.
If you meet the requirements, the application can still be processed, regardless of whether the event for which you applied for a visa is past.
But why did it take you 9 weeks to get your biometric done after submitting your application. The date you do your biometric is considered the date of submission of your application or the date your application was complete. Processing would not commence until after you have given your biometric information. So, if you are counting how long it has taken to process your application, you should start counting from July 4.
Makes sense. The application can still be approved, if you meet the qualifying requirements regardless of the fact you didn’t make it to the meeting in Canada.
@Alwayssuccessful! I appllied for my husbands visiting visa june 8th and biometrics was doneon june 15th...can i raise a webform for him,do you think it will affect his application...pls i need your advice,Thanks
You can raise a web form form if you are the one who submitted his application and if he signed a Use of Representative form in your favour. If he didn’t sign a Use of Rep form but you used an email address that you have access to, you can send a web form as if he is the one sending it in his name.
Raising a web form will not affect his application. But you would be lucky to receive a reply from IRCC. June is still too recent in my opinion. I have one for a spouse that is pending since April 5 and it’s not even being reviewed for eligibility.
You may try with a web form, but it doesn’t affect anything in terms of expedited processing. If you are in Canada, you can apply for the visa officer’s GCMS notes under the Access to Information and Privacy Act (ATIP) to know what they are saying and the stage where the application processing is. It takes minimum of 30 days to process an ATIP request.
Good luck with your application!
