i have 3 previous visas to canada and last december i went there on chirstmas holiday, my visa ended on march 2018

why do you think the reason for the delay in decision? before i had the visa in 12 days applied in beirut lebanon.

please note that i filled the web forum for ircc and they replied :


The application of Temporary Resident Visa is still in process. At this time, we are unable to provide an estimated date of when a final decision on the case will be made. If we require any further information/documents, or when a final decision is made, we will be in contact with the applicant immediately.

As background checks are in progress, the standard estimated processing times will not apply. It can take several weeks or months for these checks to be completed.

There's nothing else you can do but to wait for a decision.

Do you need your passport for any other travel? If yes, you can request the visa office to return it. But, you must specifically state that you are NOT cancelling/withdrawing your application + you will re-submit your passport whenever requested

You would get 30 days to submit your passport. If you're on a vacation abroad, you can request to submit your passport to the visa office in the country you're visiting

If you are unable to submit your passport within the 30 days of getting a passport request then your file will be closed as refused. You would then need to reapply from scratch
