Hello everyone
I'm writting on this forum because I've been reading your comments about TRV process and I want to share my experience.
I applied for TRV on July 3/2019 on paper directly in VFS Global in Bogotá, Colombia. I went to Canada in 2012 but my visa expired that year however I was able to apply for TRV in CAN+ Programme so I did not have to present financial support.
My time line was like this:
- July 3 : Applied on paper in VFS Global - Bogotá / VAC
- July 4: VFS sent my application to IRCC
- July 10: Received an email from IRCC with the Biometrics Correspondence Letter (13:50 hrs)
- July 10: Linked my paper application to my online account and saw the Application Status: We are processing your application and we are processing your background check. (15:00 hrs)
-July 11 (today): Updated status in my online account. (14;00 hrs)
Final decisión: Your application was approved!.
Then I received a message from VFS that my Passport is ready for collection.
I'm very surprised that this process only took 9 days, but I guess its because CAN+ Programme
I hope this information is useful for someone. As many people have said in the fórums, after receiving biometrics letter, the final decisión is very close. I could verify it!
