Hi!
Request them an authorisation letter and tell them that your TRV application is in process. Attach required docs and details in your email. I raised a couple of web forms after my application crossed processing times but didn’t get any reply. This is when I decided to request authorisation letter hoping that this might expedite my visa application and I think it worked as I got letter and visa approval today after just few days of my email. So I would suggest, if you are already in Canada and your TRV is already in process, email them and request them for authorization letter. Hopefully it will work for you as well.

Refer to the link below and read their instructions carefully before you send email to them (scroll down to “What to do if you’ve already applied for a visitor visa”):

Congrats dude.

May I know what's your status in Canada & whether I can ask for an authorisation letter since I'm on WP? Coz I read somewhere that it's only for family members or PR/Citizens.

Hey @Josh13215
Thanks!
I am on spouse open work permit in Canada. My wife is here on study permit. So I requested an authorisation letter based on family reunification. Even I was a bit reluctant to request for this letter since my application was not yet approved and I was still in Canada. Generally, authorization letter is requested once you get your visa approval and from your home country, like I did last time when I came from India to Canada initially. But I read somewhere that you can ask for authorization letter while your visa is in process. I thought to give it a try and it worked I guess.
So if your case is similar, request them the authorisation letter and let them know that your TRV application is in process.
Have shared the details regarding this in my previous post. This might speed up the process a bit.

We have requested for AL, under family reunification, but were refused. You are lucky I must say.

Hi,
It depends and varies according to the situation of the applicant case by case.
As far as my case is concerned, I am on Spouse Open Work Permit residing in Canada (came here last year), my wife is on SP.
I applied for TRV to travel to India and be able to re-enter Canada. Hence I requested for authorisation letter which I would need to board my flight while returning back from India.

Hi does anyone know if I can apply for TRV just with the approval letter of work permit ?

I haven’t received the work permit (hard copy) from IRCC yet. They said they have mailed me the work permit. Not sure when it’s gonna be delivered.
