I submitted visitor visa application for my son (1 year old) on September 22, 2022. There is no update as of now. Can somebody tell me what is the processing time for visitor visa application by the IRCC recently?

it depends what country, for Philippines the estimated processing time is 56 days but I knew someone that the application was approved for almost 5 months.

Hi All -
I will be applying for visitor visa for my parents this week. I was wondering if I need to book their tickets in advance and include with the application or just prepare a itinerary and include with the application? Would that suffice?
thanks much

Visitor refusal for mother - shes is 64 year old house wife staying with me. Father is retired from private company. Sister invited her to see her family for 4 weeks and she is PR there. Her account balance was CAD 5K in saving, my account balance was CAD7.5k. Property valuation on my name. She doesnt have anything on her name in terms of assets. So I sponsored my mother, I am only son and sister living in Canada as PR. I have submitted my pay slips, bank statements etc.

Refusal
I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR (https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/ section-179.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will leave Canada, based on the following factors: • The purpose of your visit to Canada is not consistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided in your application. • You have submitted documentation that lacks authenticity as part of your application. This has diminished the overall credibility of your submission. • You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your or your host's income and assets

No need of tickets and even itinerary for visitor visa just mention tentative travel dates and period of stay “mention it shorter like 2 months”. It’s tentative remember .

further apply using new portal

I am sorry to hear that. It is so sad :-( Can I ask when did you apply for your mother's visa?
