Hello everyone!!! I have applied TRV for myself and my parents. With my service in defence (left in Mar 17) and my mom's previous rejection history seems it would take some time. Fingers crossed and all the best to the fellow applicants.

Applied : 17 May 2017
Application Type: Paper
VAC: VSF Hyderabad
Status: In progress

Regards
Still in progress?

Hi Bryanna,

I applied TRV for my 3 year old daughter who has been living in India for the past one year with her grandparents. My spouse and I are in Canada (My spouse is a student and I am on sowp). I am on NOC A job for the past 8 months. We still have 8 more months on our visas so I thought we can spend that time as a family here.

I didn't go through the forums before I apply so could you explain how do they assess a toddler's visa documents?

How can we show travel history, back home ties, employment prospects etc etc?

The purpose of visit for my child is to stay with parents during the . Is that a valid purpose of visit ?

Unfortunately, there's nothing to get your hopes high. Not as yet.

It's still in the 'application processing' loop.... at the Background Checks stage. That explains why a decision is taking longer

It's a tough guess. I guess you got your TRV on the basis that you're leaving your 3-year old daughter behind.

With only 8 months to go on your visas, it's possible that IRCC may not grant a TRV to your daughter.

Nonetheless, I hope I'm wrong. I hope your daughter gets her TRV as she is too young to be separated from her parents

It's difficult to guess whether you will get your TRV by 24th June. However, as you applied for a Business TRV, it could be possible.

No, your previous travel may not impact a TRV decision because except for your UK visit, the other countries do not count as Travel History for a Canada TRV

Thanks for the reply bryanna

Could you please tell me how long can 'background check' takes and is it Normal In TRV or they're just doing my background check since my spouse is Canadian ?

Thank you

Bryanna - Does the Visa Officer process TRV application based on the purpose of visit (Business or Tourism)? I mean are there in department within where Business Related Visa gets processed on earlier? Will sending a request email to New Delhi Centre for processing it quicker help?

It's difficult to say how long background checks could take. That said, as you have been living in Australia since 2009 + you have a valid US visa, my guess your background check could be completed pretty soon.

No, background checks can be done for any TRV applicant regardless of a Canadian spouse

For Question 1 (Details of Visit to Canada), did you select 'Business'?

While filling up IMM5257E it was provided with only 2 options. 1 as Transit and 2nd as Visitor Visa. I did select Visitor Visa. Although Company Request Letter and Invitation Letter mentioned the purpose as business.

'Visitor visa' is correct.

However, you should have selected 'Business' for the 'Details of Visit to Canada'. Anyways

Hope for the best

Hello Bryanna, thanks for helping out the forum members. really appreciate your time and intent. I too have a question, can you please help me know what all proof of relationship documents to submit for grandparent TRV (under visitor's visa not under super visa)? not financially dependent because of rental income but no ITR, aged 81, my father deceased so no direct linkage, have a house deed (owned by grandmother) which mentions the name of the whole family as legal heirs. visit for 3-4 weeks.
