Processing is an average and there is a backlog. You can raise a webform but honestly, nothing will come of it. All you can do is wait.

What people get TRV in 2 weeks? And from what country? Have not seen anyone on this forum have 2 week processing times.
One of a known friends in-laws got it in 2weeks time. They had an Invitation for their house-warming function. If there is a real occasion the applications are getting approved quick. Not to forget, their in-laws also had a US visitors visa. On the other hand their parents didn't get it yet for the same reason, both were applied at same time(thinking of the reason coz, their US visa is expired).

If a person has a US visa or previous Canadian TRV then a person is eligible for CAN+ processing. However that is the decision of IRCC.

This has no value in approving visitor visa applications.

There is absolutely no correlation / causation relationship between this and VV approval. You are using one incident to project a causal relationship and it doesn't exist.

Not to forget, their in-laws also had a US visitors visa.
THIS has a correlation for faster visa approval as some applications are picked by IRCC to be processed under CAN+ if applicants have valid US visitor visa. But again this does not happen for all applicants.

I am 100% very much present and know what i am talking and its based out of few applications that i have observed closely. I dont wanna sit here and make you believe, if you talk as if you are in the current situation! However, I am talking considering our applications too and a spousal VV application of a friend too. Nowhere i have said, its the only reason and you guys do it, i just gave one scenario.
