Visitor Visa (from inside Canada)

[savaiz]

I didn't receive anything.
92 days passed so far.

Why do they even post that processing time is 75 days, if it's much longer?!

It is frustrating really. 96 days have passed and still waiting

Most offices in India are closed and the majority of Canadian staff returned to Canada so that is why there are delays in India. Most applicanta are unable to do biometrics adding to delays. There have been delays throughout the world due to covid. Canada is like any other country.

Well I’m actually an inland applicant so I was taking about the IRCC staff here in Canada. It doesn’t really makes sense that it’s taking them so long.

There was a lockdown period and then it took quite awhile to retrofit a large office complex to make it safe to work in. They’d also need to find cleaning contractors just for each bathroom. For privacy reasons immigration isn’t something that can easily worked on from home. Some may have had a secure connection to work on some things but the majority must go into an office.

Then how come the number of processing days are reducing?

Because the offices have now been retrofitted for social distancing and system have been put into place so people can come into the office.

[canuck78]

Ok dude

Just the truth.

 

[savaiz]

Anyone has any update please?

 

[savaiz]

I had applied on May 21 and received Biometrics Correspondence on July 22, very similar to your dates.
Also, going by the pattern of the other guys here that were approved, I am hopeful we’ll receive an approval and passport request before the end of this month.

Any update?

I don't.

I don't.

Called IRCC and talked to agent. Who said trv is not our priority. We are processing study and work permits right now. No clue now ... what is going to happen. Wanted desperately to travel back home

Me too.

Can I travel back to my country while my trv request is pending with CIC after extension of my study permit and can relevant visa office in my country stamp trv on my passport? Urgent guidance is requested if anyone has an experience of this.

You have to ask them about this. I had conflicting answers when I asked: some agents said yea but its up to the visa processing officer, others said no just cancel it and apply from back home

You can travel, but you will not be able to come back. You will need to apply again from your country.
