1 month. Submitted passports on 5th December. Got them stamped on 9th January.

45 days is too long IMO. And that is also why insufficient funds have been mentioned. Also, are you in Canada? If so, your brother and his family is likely to be rejected again.

Approved recently - Applied on November 19th and TRV granted on 3rd December. Passport received with visa stamp this week. But we have valid US visas apart from other extensive travel history, from Gujarat, doctors and MBA, applied for the purpose of tourism strictly (cruise from Vancouver to...

I think you should get it by Jan 30.

Yup the next mail will be the received and ready to pick up mail.

I got the pickup email the next day. The previous emails came on 9th Jan. The pickup from VFS (Ahmedabad) email on 10th Jan. Going to pickup right now. You should get it today or tomorrow.

About 4 weeks from the time you submitted

It means the visa has been granted till June 2025. The visa number and expiry date gets updated on the tracker very quickly

Yes. This is exactly what happened in my case. The very next day I got the dispatch emails and in a few hours, the tracker finally showed Background Check completed and application closed. The IRCC Portal was updated a day before like you have mentioned.

What duration of stay did you give for the visitor visa application? I hope it wasn't several months long.

Names of parents are mentioned in passports. So as long as they are the same it should be fine. Or else you get a notarized affidavit that xx and yy are the same. It is generally inadvisable to get the name in passports changed especially if you have a valid US/Canada visa on that passport. My...

By 17th or 18th Jan. It's taking 4 weeks right now.

I just checked it now after I saw your message. LOL. And it is finally showing completed. I guess it changed after I got the dispatch messages. The Application Status has also changed to 'Closed'. Coz the day before yesterday, everything else including Eligibility was completed while Background...

The sequence is VFS center where you applied - Canada Visa Office Delhi - IRCC Delhi. So when the passport is returned it follows the reverse order. I received 4-5 emails for each applicant since yesterday. Dispatched from IRCC Delhi - Received by CVO Delhi - Dispatched from CVO Delhi - Received...

Application for CAN+ is the same as regular. We don't have to do anything. It's just that they may process it faster. Once visa is approved and you submit the passport, the process is the same as everyone else.

Received the dispatch email. Passports submitted to VFS on 5th Dec 2024. Passports received by IRCC Delhi on 9th Dec 2024. Visa Type: Visitor Visa Exactly 4 weeks to the date. ps: Didn't opt for SMS service despite VFS guys saying that I will not be getting any updates via email. I received...

Not yet. Submitted on 5th December. Received and under processing at IRCC from 9th. Based on other comments, I think it is taking about a month. Expect ours by Jan 1st week. Will update.

I found this YouTuber the best - . He explains in detail the whole process of a group application.

I was confused as well initially about the two new portals. Glad it helped.

Hi, I applied for my myself, my parents and my aunt. We are Indian nationals with a valid US visa. If your parents have had a prior Canada visa, like us they will qualify for CAN+ (expedited processing and no proof of finances required). Just Google CAN+. Purpose of Travel: Roundtrip cruise...
