Hi. Sadly, not yet. The processing time today went down to 51 days bringing us to 119 days past the processing time. Very frustrating. To be honest if it will take a lot longer or be denied we'd be better off submitting a spousal sponsorship application (once we get civilly married as soon as...

Hi. I don't really have any answers to your questions, but I can give you my gf's TRV timeline so far. We applied for her to come to Canada under family reunification. I'm living with her now and our 11 month old daughter, who already has a temporary CAD passport valid for two years (we are...

Also, how can I find this webform? I wanted to give my daughter's Canadian and Filipino passport to Canada.ca a little while ago, but I've had no luck finding it so far.

Alright. What kind of proof can I provide to show we are common-law? Also, I looked at the suggestions provided by the IRCC to prove my gf wants to return to Manila. I provided what I could, but the problem is she doesn't have a job right now because we have a baby we are busy taking care of, we...

Will I be able to get the passport request letter on Canada.ca (where we submitted my Filipino gf's tourist visa application) or could it be sent to us only by email (I'm wondering if it accidentally got deleted)?

I could be mistaken, but I think tourist visas can only be used for the six months following when they are given out.

It seems to me like this isn't a good time to visit Canada unless you really have to. It would be best to wait until the pandemic is over.

Isn't it just people going on a computer and checking detals about tourist visa applications to decide if they should be pproved or denied? I don't see why Covid is impacting the time it takes to process tourist visas.

Yeah. I don't get why the covid situation should make it harder for them to process travel visas. I dont know what the job entails, but I wouldn't think their employees would have to meet together to examine the applications and decide to accept or reject them. Maybe I'm wrong. If anyone...

Ah I guess I missed that in the title lol.

Oh interesting. Maybe it'sa lot faster inside Canada. Right now the processing time is 76 days for TRVs applied for within Manila. The processing time goes up about 6 days each week for awhile. I'm hoping it won't taketoo long till my gf gets her TRV if approved.

Congrats. If you don't mind my asking what country did you apply from?

Yeah. That's terrible.

Too bad they can't provide the prices for individual hotels. That wouldn't be too hard to do.

My Filipino gf submitted her biometrics on the 29th of Dec. We cobtacted the visa application center about how the application is going, but they told us to email the CAD Embassy in Manila. The CAD Embassy told us to email Canada.ca, but when I sent an email to the Canada.ca email they gave me I...
