For All VFS Chandigarh applicants -
My wife applied through paper application on April 15 with upfront medicals. My application was prepared by a lawyer here in Canada. My status says" visa is being processed..............as chandigarh" on vfs tracking. I contacted them regarding my status a couple of times. First time i called them myself, they said its under processing. That's it. The second time, i had my lawyer contact vfs, they said they will be able to reply after 2 months ONLY. NO reply regarding status before two months. :-X. So, i guess... wait then...... It sucks. Does anyone have any update on this?

If your husband has applied online, he must have account on cic. He can check application status there.

I had submitted a cpl of docs later on via CIC's Case Specific Enquiry about 20 days back. Received a mail on 28th May from Delhi Visa Office with a cc to Chandigarh CHC saying that the file is being processed at Chandigarh office and the same documents have been acknowledged.

They did not request for any documents Sunny. We merely submitted an updated pay stub for my wife. Addressed it to both New Delhi and Chandigarh's CSE page (my last application was processed by New Delhi Visa Office).

New Delhi Visa Office just reverted that our file is being processed at Chandigarh VO and the same documents have been forwarded to them.

Hi @tann

I applied on 23rd of april. I also called the vfs chandigarh people and they told me the same thing as to you that it takes min 20-22 working days for processing and rest all depends on case to case.

Hello Friends


I am on PGWP with with skilled job. I want to apply for SOWP. He is an Indian citizen however staying in UAE from last 2years.
My questions are:
1. Can I apply online for his sowp within Canada? If yes how long does it takes
2. Or If we have to apply from outside Canada, how can he apply? From UAE or India?
3. What is the processing time for SOWP applied outside Canada?

Thanks!!!
