Hello Everyone,

Can anyone tell me What is the processing time for a new TRV if you have a valid work permit ? How can we check the processing times on the CIC website?


Thanks
Ravi

Hi, you can go here to check processing times: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/

Keep in mind, though, that the times listed are approximate. I've had a TRV application from the U.S. (submitted online) stuck for the past 35 days without any update (processing time says 17 days).

Assuming you're applying within Canada, and per the telephone prompts, paper applications filed before July 7 (?), 2016, and online applications filed before September 7, 2016, are being processed as of today.

I hope this helps. Best wishes.

Thanks for the reply @MooseNBooze.

I checked the processing times at CIC, there seems to be three categories Visitor Visa from Inside Canada, Visitor Visa from outside Canada and Visitor Extension. The times you mentioned seems to indicate that a new TRV on a valid work permit should be considered as Visitor Extension (50 days) and not Visitor Visa from Inside Canada (6 days)?

I had to travel back home(India) in December due to an emergency. Even If I apply for a new TRV right now it doesn't look like I will be able to get a new TRV by December since the processing time is 50 days. Is it possible for me travel to India and come back with my work permit and my TRV application under process?. Is there a way I can speed up the TRV application process like going to the border-flagpoling, or to Buffalo in the States etc?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ravi

Ravi,

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you. I suggest you ping other forum users who are more knowledgeable, like bellaluna or Bryanna etc. Good luck.
