Hi, after getting my PGWP I applied for TRV on September 17, 2023. I haven't heard anything since then. I raised a webform earlier and got a generic response about its still in process and I can check the processing time on their website. I raised webform solely because its been over 4 months which is over the processing time. Im really not sure what to do.

Are you inside Canada and applied for trv inside Canada?

Hello, any update guys? I am having the same issue, after my study permit for PhD was extended, I applied for TRV on 1st Feb. Been over 3 months, and processing time shows 17 days!! Don't know what's going on, raised issue through MP, they said it's a non routine application so they can't say for sure how much time it could take!! Really need to go to India, and nobody seems to be answering anything from IRCC.

You can go to India and can even get your visa stamped there but won’t be able to return back to Canada until your TRV application is approved and the visa is issued.

Yes, but as a PhD student there is only limited number of days I can stay away from the university. So, I really don't want to wait forever before my visa application is processed. Is there any way to expedite the process!? Does canceling the application and re applying make sense?
