I submitted an application on March 31 and eligibility started May 10. I raised many webforms; however, the last one I sent yesterday, I got an immediate response (same day) saying "Kindly note that your application is currently with the officer for review. You will be contacted as soon as a decision is reached or if additional documents are required"... is this the final step? Should I be expecting a decision anytime soon?
This is a default message. Nothing promising here. Have u passed your processing time?

The previous messages that I received when submitting webforms are "your application is being processed" and things along those lines... those sounded like an automatic message, but I thought the one I got yesterday is different. I did pass processing times, that's why I submitted a webform and got a response on the same day! I guess I'll have to wait and see!

Applied on March 4th for my mother in law from Russia. She was born in Armenia, but lives in Russia. She had a visa before and came to Canada twice already. She also has a good tavel history. Biometrics completed on March 10th. No updates so far. I will wait until the end of the summer and then my mother in law will go to Armenia to live and I will apply for super visa, since with super visa you can stay for 5 years, not 2 like before.

Wait...they should approve it since she already travelled to Canada. Re apply may delay further

I don't see the reasons for refusal either, however what we wrote in invitation letter as purpose of travel doesn't make any sense anymore. It has been 4 months already, however the processing time was 40 days at the time when biometrics were done. Some people in this thread reapplied and got the response almost right away. I believe when you reapply, the old application gets cancelled automatically.

Applied for my parents visit visa on March 8. Biometrics completed on March 13. Haven't gotten a single update since then. Radio silence. it's been 134 days since they received the application. It's getting depressing now.
