It shows 13days for mumbai. Does it mean 13 working days after application reaches vac?
The processing times are just estimates, as I have been reading. But as per CIC's website the time between VAC and IRCC and otherway and the wait time to submit the biometrics, does not count as processing time.

Visitor visa (from outside Canada)

India

13 days ?

You may need to give biometrics with your application.
This processing time doesn’t include:

  • the time it takes to send an application between a VAC and our office
  • the time you need to give your biometrics

what did you attach in the purpose of travel, just the ticket?
I don't think "not having a ticket" would reject her visa because my mom got her visa and we didn't book any ticket in advance. But also, in the purpose of travel section we attached my brother convocation invite.
In the purpose of travel, we attached a letter from her stating that she will come only to spend some time with me. Since shes a widow, she will have to return to India to manage her property. We attached her property details. Also she has all her 6 siblings and my elder sister in India . And that she's financially sound to take care of herself.

Okay! So that sounds good in the sense, she has ties back home. Did you provide the proof of her property in her file?

Ya... That's really ambiguous. Can't infer anything from 13days quote.

So for my mom, it took 22 days in total but IF I see the working days and ignore the transit between VAC and IRCC and her wait time to get the biometrics done, it was under 13 days.

Yes i did.
Then you are good! I applied for my grandmom's visa (father's mom) along with my mom. My Grandmom is a widow, no siblings alive. And all she had as home ties was her house and her pension. She has got her visa. :)

Great. That's sounds motivating.
By the way, is there any issue if we do not apply for Super visa, and instead for visitor visa for parents? I've heard people's visa getting rejected on those grounds too.

I would wait to apply for my mom's super visa, for the reason;

1. She's still working and cannot take long leave anyways
2. Since I just got PR (Jan 2019) I didn't want her to get Super visa rejection, as read in forum this has happened.

Sounds logical.
