Processing time: GSS stream

[pyramid7799]

I applied from Nigeria.

My spouse and I received separate request but same day. How many days apart before your friend's dependent request arrived?

Week apart.

Some encouraging news.
June 30, 2021

The instructions have been updated to align with previously published instructions on processing open temporary resident visa (TRV) applications during the pandemic:

• Open TRV applications for applicants who are not eligible to travel to Canada during the pandemic can now be processed to a final decision.
• Offices can determine to what extent they have the capacity to process these non-priority applications.

My spouse (open work permit) and I (Work Permit- LMIA Exempt) received our passport requests. There was no passport request for my 2 sons visitor visa application. We submitted our application as one. Any idea if this is normal or what next to do?


Below is my timeline:


Submitted: June 7th, 2021
Upfront Medical: June 7th, 2021

Any reference to similar case would be appreciated as well.

Happy to hear that finally, you are now in Canada. I am actually not hoping for an exact 2 weeks processing but at least make it priority processing than the normal 39 weeks processing in UAE.


Hows your travel going to Canada? Which airport? Can you share some details / experience? Which country you are from and the 14 days quarantine? How it's like from the airport to Canada?

My Employer filed for LMIA approval under GTS stream on 10th August, no response yet. Do you already have positive LMIA? If yes, then how long did it take?

Do you have any ideas about which visa office processed your applications and did you have to contact them?
