I am Canadian citizen and wife is permanent resident
Job letter both from me and my wife

The posted lines are a courtesy and in no way are they a commitment.

The TRV can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months.

Longer process has no impact on result.

If it is taking closer to two months then she will have no time to visit. Her son school summer vacation will start on end of June for one month. Hope it will not take so long and positive

I would suggest that she creates a GCKey and links the paper copy to her GCKey account. This will give her up to date information about what CIC is doing. VFS only shows transit information of your documents and/or passport.

Any on have idea what could be ?

At the beginning had plan to apply for visit visa using online application. I created account, submitted eligibility, was left to upload forms but i did not.
Then my sister-in-law send paper application using VFS Visa application .
Time line
May 10 submitted paper application for sister-in-law and her son application
May 13 Singapore visa office received the application
May 27 new update your decision has been dispatched from Singapore visa office,

Still waiting for passport.

On online account i was trying adding her application of her it was success but her son application could not find it.
Here is the issue after i linked the application it shows
Application/profile status Closed Help
Review of medical results Help
Review of submitted documents Help
Scheduling an interview Help
Review of biometric information Help
Final decision This application has been refused
And on message it shows
Application number (VXXXX82723) has been linked to your account. - May 26, 2016 12:37:14 p.m. EDT May 26, 2016 12:37:14 p.m. EDT May 26, 2016 12:59:50 p.m. EDT
when i was able to linked her application using the information, on VFS tracking shows under process for both. After one days update on VFS decision has been dispatched from Singapore visa office.

Why i was not able to link her son application.

MyCIC shows This application has been refused means visit visa was refuse but there is nothing for which reason or i have to wwait until she receive the passport at Dhaka VFS application center

I am confuse :(

Unfortunately, it does seem like the visa was refused. The letter will indicate the reasons.

Finally received refused letter :(

They gave those following reasons
You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay...

Travel history ( She never travelled any country)
Family ties in Canada and in country of residence (shows the proof of both my sister-in-law and my wife birth certificate and marriage certificate )
Current employment situation ( she is house wife and defend on her husband income)

I would like to reapply, what i could change the situation that i can improve . We had plan to visit between June to August.
We requested 5 weeks , whole time of her son vacation time.

If we do reapply again to get another chance what is the best time again. i want them to be visit before mid of July.
