I applied for a TRV (Temporary Residence Visa) for Canada along with my wife & son on 24 Dec 2018 to visit my wife's aunt in Toronto. The application was paper-based applied in New Delhi VFS.
On 15 Feb 2019, I received email from VFS that your processed passports have been received at VFS. There was a PFL (Procedural Fairness Letter) along with mine & my wife's passports along with standard content of the letter it stated that "The Bank Statement submitted by you is found to be fraudulent." Please reply to this letter within 30 days else your visa will be refused or you will be banned for 5 years.
On the next working day of collecting our passports, I replied to that letter on the email ID indicated in the same letter. Along with enough evidence from the bank to prove that the bank statement is authentic and has not been forged in any way [and that's absolutely true as well]. Today it's been 144 days since I submitted my application & 88 days that I replied to that letter I haven't received any response so far.
In between this period I sent a reminder email on the same email ID [delhiimmigration[at]international.gc.ca] on 5 Mar 2019 & 5 Apr 2019 and also filled case specific Web Form on 3 Apr 2019 but every time I only received auto-generated emails.
Till today on CIC account [GC key] the status shows that "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
I spoke to the Canadian High Commission, New Delhi once and they suggested me to either wait or reapply since I have my passports with me now.
What do you all suggest what may have caused such delay and what should I do next?
Much appreciate your help on the same.
Regards,
Param
