Hi All,

I have applied for Visitor Visa on 27-Mar-2018 to myself, mywife and my two kids, of which my elder kid is US passport holder. Applied at VFS office Hyderabad. Just two days ago I have received an SMS and email stating that They received the application and forwarded to Canada office for processing and mentioned the date as 28-Mar-2018.

Can anybody say when can I get the update from Canadian office about the Status of my Visit visa. Also, as per my undetstanding for any US passport holder they don't need a Canada visa to travel to Canada. But, when I enquired at VFS Office they insisted my to pay the FEES in order to get the VISIT visa for my elder daughter who is US passport holder.

Can anybody reply on my above two queries...
Thanks in advance.

It is strange that you received the message so late. May be due to year ending on 31 March. Not sure though.
Yes you are right, a USA citizen doesn't need Canadian visa.
