My parent did visit Canada before and their application was done thru an agency. But this time I did it myself coz my parent cant communicate in English well.
I thought representative was someone from an agency that why I didnt choose this option.
So what do you advise me in this case?
Thanks

No need. In 2019 I applied for my father in law as I was him and it worked. I used GCKey and uploaded all my applications and docs online. He got his visa without any issues. When you applied, did you verify how many days was the processing time at the time when you applied?

It won't be an issue. Border has nothing to do with the Visa officer in the Embassy who makes the decision about visa. Airports receives thousands of people every day who don't speak the language, so it won't be an issue, they use google translators if they don't have a translator who speaks the language on place.

If processing time is 44 days, then you have relax wait 44 days after biometrics are done. After that time is passed, you can start worrying.
