You can check the current processing time here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/inFORMation/times/index.asp

The processing time posted on the IRCC website is only an estimate. It can take longer/faster than this

@ilsa

When did you apply?

Did you prepare a separate 'Travel History' explanation or only attached your passports?

Although you cannot submit any additional documents until the visa office requests it + your application has not crossed the processing time mentioned on the IRCC website.... you can send a Case Specific Enquiry (CSE) requesting the visa office to consider the following additional documents:
1. Not just business registration documents..... but evidence that your business is actively trading (chamber of commerce certificate, audit statement, company bank statement, POs, 2 years ITRs, etc)

2. Property ownership documents + latest property tax receipt + self valuation/valuation by a CA

3. Financial investments: FDs, RDs, mutual funds, shares, LIC, etc

4. Family ties: Marriage certificate + birth certificates + any other dependent family members + an explanation that your family is not accompanying you

5. A day-by-day itinerary with expense estimates.... and prove that you have the finances for your visit


You can prepare a combined PDF for these documents.


In case your TRV has already been processed, these additional documents may not be considered. You'll have to wait for a decision based on the documents you have already submitted

@ilsa

This is normal. BTW it could take up to 30 days to get a reply to a CSE.

Yes, you are right. TRV applications from Pakistan are processed by the Abu Dhabi visa office. So you have sent the correct CSE. You can also send the same information/details, by email, to the Islamabad visa office

Hi,

1. will i have to inform to the canadian high commission about my trip to uk?
I am assuming you are going to the UK on a short visit of a couple of weeks..... and not for a couple of months/longer.

No, you do not have to inform the Canadian High Commission about your UK trip. If you are going to the UK for a long duration which means a change in your address then yes, you must use a CSE to inform the visa office.


2. if i got approval and they request my passport while i am in UK, can i submit my passport in london or i have to submit passport to Abu dhabi office and what time they will give me for submission?
If you get a passport request when you are in the UK then send emails to both the Abu Dhabi and London visa offices requesting them to let you submit your passport in the UK for visa stamping


Cheers

If you get a passport request when you're in the UK then do not submit your passport to the London VO. You may not get it back in time to travel back to your country.

You'll get 30 days to submit your passport to the nearest VAC after you get a passport request
