Hi All,
After going through lot of posts here, I got skeptical in applying Super visa for my parents. I am now applying for visitors visa and have two questions. Could someone help me with the details.
Question 1: How long does it actually take for a visitors visa application? (as per the processing times listed it looks like 160days)? Is that accurate and is there any chance of expediting the process?

Question 2: If visa got approved and parents are here in Canada. Can I apply for Super visa when they are in the country? or can I extend their stay on Visitor's visa if in need?


Thanks in advance for the help

1. More or less. If they have an approved US or Canadian visa, it may be processed more quickly.
2. Supervisa must be applied from home country, not in Canada. They can extend once in Canada and it may or may not be approved.

Question 1: It only takes 1 to 2 weeks. uno online
Question 2: No, they must apply for a super visa from their home country as required by the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) rules.

Thank you so much that is a relief . 2-3 weeks should be good. because, I wanted to spend XMas with them.
Is it better to apply Super Visa or Visitor for them?

It is NOT 1-2weeks. Not sure where u got that information. Right now most offices are delayed, it is taking months even that is considered fast.

A travel itinerary is not mandatory but is a general overview of what the person will do when in Canada. The letter of invitation can include an itinerary. Doesn’t need to be day to day.
