its confusing
processing time link showed 6 weeks
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html

But if you check the other link - to check application status - it says thy are still processing applications from Dec 2020.

we’re currently finalizing most applications we received between

December 6 and 12, 2020 ?

If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.


https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

So this contradictory

Which link should be refer for ICT VISA. Can someone help confirm

Hello Vijay - Yes, I have heard that they will request for passport even though you have visitor visa. They will just review the passport and return it back. Did you receive the passport back ?

Below Process applies to INDIA VFS Only.

If you are from INDIA then they have changed the process a bit.

You can't book using normal process. (By creating an account on Online Portal)

You need to raise a WebFrom (VFS WebForm) for Biometrics and Passport Submission.
(And for Biometrics, they will provide you the date for which you need to be present at your selected location, if you are failed to do so you won't get a new appointment or you can't rescheduled that.)

Biometrics : https://vfs-cic.mioot.com/forms/appointments/

Passport Submission : https://vfs-cic.mioot.com/forms/PS/

Hope this would be helpful.

  1. Check Processing Times : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/application/check-processing-times.html
  2. Check Status : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

Check Processing Times will give you general Idea about the Processing time for Newly Submitted application.

Check Status will give you an idea about What IRCC is currently processing - The dates indicates the Submission date of your application.


I believe both the links are not Up to the mark and we can't get proper idea about ICT Application.
It is better to check Online Account.
