AOA,

Dear, if you are in Canada then you can get latest and exact status of your mother's visa case by approaching your MP. Raise this query to federal MP, then he/she will send email to concerned VO location. They will definitely help you as elections are coming.


I applied for my mother's TRV on July 4th, 2019, Via paper-based application. This was done through lahore VFS Global services.

Timeline:
July 4th : Application submitted with biometrics.
July 8th: application received (email)

At this point i checked using the tracking code:
End July: Your application is under process at the the Canada IRCC office, Islamabad.
After End July :Your processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, ISLAMABAD.

..
this makes no sense, as i never submitted the passport along with the application.

Present September 8th: Your processed passport has been forwarded to the Canada Visa Office, ISLAMABAD.

History

My mother has visited canada twice in the last 10 years.
no other international travel history.

Please, if someone can give me some sort of guidance, it will be much appreciated. It is a trv, the process should not be this long for a person who has visited Canada twice in the past. I have emailed them, chatted with them... they just dodge the inquiry and say we cant say much.. it is under process. I have received no email updates since that first email... which is surprising. its been 2 months... at this point i dont care if it is refused or not.. any update would be appreciated so we can try again or something .. and move on .. having 0 updates is ridiculous.

Visa is approved, need some guidance.
My mother is obviously an elderly lady, and it is difficult for her to travel. I have received a form requesting the submission of her passport. I will go on my own to do so, on her behalf. What do i need to bring with me?
It says, bring passport, pre-printed form that is requesting submission of passport, and if submitting on behalf u must bring a "duly filled vfs consent form granting authorization"....
What is this consent form i cant find this anywhere?
FYI, i am going to the vfs VAC in lahore.
Please help.
