Hi what kind of visa did you apply? did you apply for the Canadian visa on line for the person who lives in China?

sorry, klaustacy. my case is different. for myself, I'm working in Canada, so I applied the work visa based on my work permit. The application was processed in CPP-Ottawa within 1month.

Now I have to apply a visitor visa for my mom who lived in China as soon as possible, due to some urgent family issue.
Instead of asking my mom to submit the application in shanghai, I prefer to submit an application on line on behalf of my mom,
so I can manage it for her. In this case, I just don't understand where the application will be processed, in China? or in Ottawa?
Because the processing time for the online application of visitor visa, showed on CIC website, indicates the processing time in CPP-Ottawa.

All applications submitted online in the North America will be processed in Ottawa office I think. I would suggest you to submit it in person in Shanghai, because the processing time is way faster than online applications. I've waited almost three months till now...

Hi klaustacy,
I'm sorry to hear that you've been waiting long time. Did you try to contact CIC to see what's the status of your visa application?
just check if it's received but not in processing or it's in processing.

I would suggest your mother to submit it in the Visa Application Centre in Shanghai instead. They are more flexible and accept cash (rmb) payment.

Thanks blueagoon! I've sent them emails and received replies today. "Please note that your application is currently in process as per regulatory procedures. Please note that we cannot confirm when your file will be ready for finalization."

No helpful information. I'll just wait....
