Online applications are processed by the visa office responsible for your country of residence. It is basically just a week or two faster than the timeline posted for visa offices on cic website. Hope this helps.
 
Hi guys..

According to my VFS global tracker :: my PROCESSEd application has been forwarded to ABU DHABi on 12-05-2014


I have been checking my cic account everyday . It still says app status open and final decision not yet started.

I applied online on 15 April
Biometrics given on 12 may( late because I had to travel to another country to giv biometric)
 
Hi guys,

i have applied visitor visa from NY (online application) on APR 10th and haven't heard anything till date. I had two status updates on 23 and 24th of April which I see no update actually in my cic account.

Last week, I emailed new york office for inquiry and they replied me that my application is open and in queue and if I want to withdraw? (!!)

I have a J1 visa in United States and I will travel canada for a conference on 22th of June. I also submitted an invitation letter from the conference organizer. The thing is some of my friends already got their visa.

I actually got a very quick Canada visa in 2011 from NY office. i don't understand why it takes that long now? Should i worry? Any thoughts?

No need to worry. Search for my post here on why some online visas in the US take few days and others take about 2 months. My "urgent" visa took more than a month. My husband's "urgent" visa took almost 2 months. Your friends got lucky. you still have about a month. You will get your visa on time.
 
I do see know applicants from the forum who applied in april an are still waiting..i m waiting for mine too. so please update us when you do get any update about you application. will be very helpful
 
boniteellada and rise01 thanks for your replies.

I just come back home from work and see the email from the cic requesting my passport. Because post offices are closed now, tomorrow I will send the passports. (I think I should also attach my old passport which includes my US visa)

I will update you about the process.

CIC was specific "send the passport". No room for interpretation here. Send only one.

Are you sure about this? I just got my new passport in March and there is nothing in it to confirm that I am in US.
