Hello All,
I'm a Permanent Residence,
I've applied for my mother-in-law's Visiting Visa ( immediate Family) since February. But currently, we are stuck at "Biometrics completed" since March 19th.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be the issue or what I can do? Thanks
Your mother-in-law completed biometrics? and the reason for visiting is pregnancy?

for those who are on the same boat..OWP and dependent child’s Visit Visa processing timeline

July 2020 - submitted online appln for OWP and Visit Visa (1 yr old)
Oct 20 - PPR request for OWP, Visit Visa still on process
Oct 28 - OWP approved, still VV on process. Send email to IRCC (the one they gave to send an email for authorization) requesting for authorization to travel of the dependent child under Visit Visa. At the same time, sent an inquiry to webform on the status of the VV. Documents attached are; OWP approval, WP of father in Canada and Birth Certificate.

Hi All,
