April 2019 TRV Timeline!

[myra20sharma]

Yes that is the exact message i got, could be that the biometrics have reached VAC New Delhi and the processing may begin today 23rd April considering the easter long weekend here in Canada.

That's a generic reply! I also got that for a my mom, she has received her acknowledgement but that VFS status still shows "In transit to IRCC". Her online account is also updated to say eligibility in review. I am not sure how synced is VFS with the CIC website. If you filed online, check what says there. And if you/they did paper application then you can link it to cic.gc.ca and then see what gets updated there. And yes CIC was closed till Easter Monday.

I am a PR holder currently residing in Canada and am planning to apply visitor visa applications for my parents. @Bryanna and others please help with below query.

Which of these would be a better option - Adding my parents' application into my CIC account or creating a new CIC account with my father as the principal applicant and my mother as the secondary one? Are there any pros / cons with one option versus the other?

A new account with your dad as the principal applicant and your mom as his dependent

Thanks for the reply,

do you have an estimate on when the biometric acknowledgement is received? They submitted biometrics April 16 and no movement on CIC account since then.

I am really not sure. My mother got her done on April 15th and he has just received an acknowledgment email (PASTED AT THE END). And then her online account got updated to "Review of eligibility - We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements." And also the biometrics info got updated; No update ever since.

Hi! My parents account looks like that now, their eligibility has started also... does it mean the embassy in our home country received their biometrics already?
