Hi, Please let us know how long VFS takes these days for Visa Stamping, once you get your passport back..

It took about 2 weeks.

Hi HkCaptian,
Did you get your mother's passport back? Just wanted to check if you received multiple entry visa or single entry one.
I am in similar situation as you, waiting eagerly for mother's visa processing as she is alone there.
Really appreciate your help.

Thank you.

I submitted my Mom's visitor visa application last year and her biometrics appointment is in a couple of weeks.

Should I update the Visitor visa documents like Travel Itinerary, Invitation Letter, Bank statements, and travel date as they all have the old dates? And, do I have to do it through the web form?

My dad gave Biometrics on July 23 and I raised web form for prioritization on Aug 03. Its being more than 14 business days and I did not hear back anything from CIC. Shall I raise another web form to check the status of the application? Please suggest if there is any other way to expedite the processing.
