I am also applying for parents with in the next week. We can apply for visitor visa but from what i am reading here is only having problem with the biometrics.Hi I am going to apply soon for my mom and dad.
Are they approve TRV for parents ?
Have you already lived in Canada for several years? Or will you just be moving to Canada now?Hi there, I just became a PR and want my mom to visit me here. I see that processing time for Visitor Visa from India is 120 days.
Here is a brief profile of my mom:
My mom is single, she has very less assets in India and she is self employed as a Chartered Accountant but with less assets. She has no travel history. What are the chances according to you, of her application being approved/not-approved. Any suggestion for making her appl strong?
Has anyone succeeded in similar circumstances in getting a visit visa?
Thanks for your reply. I was CEC and have been living in Canada for 5 years. Any suggestions to make the application stronger? Anything I should be careful of.Have you already lived in Canada for several years? Or will you just be moving to Canada now?
If you are just going to be moving to Canada now, then the very strong recommendation is that you move to Canada alone and live in Canada for 6-8 months before your mother applies for a TRV. If she applies now, the risk of refusal is going to be much higher because IRCC will be concerned that she is attempting to move to Canada along with you. You should go first. Live in Canada for a while. Then she can apply.
A supervisa may be a better option if you meet the requirements.[

I have applied in mid of January for my parents too. Received the biometrics letter, however when checked on vfs india website, under Jalandhar vfs centre - it does not mention anything about visitors visa biometrics. Looks like - biometrics for visitor visa is on hold. Can you or anyone confirm?Hi,
I have just applied for a visitor visa for my parents today.
Regards
Yes, unfortunately it's on hold right now. Your options are to either wait or take biometrics in another country like Nepal or Dubai.I have applied in mid of January for my parents too.

Thanks @scylla for your revert. No they are in India and no plan for travel to other countries for this. What if vfs offices stay close for 90 days as we need to get biometrics within that duration from date of receiving letter?Yes, unfortunately it's on hold right now.

There is no time limit if there is no ability to do biometrics in the country.Thanks @scylla for your revert. No they are in India and no plan for travel to other countries for this.
