In a day or two , you'll receive a letter asking for your Biometrics. You now need to request a slot from the Canada Visa Application Centre where taking the Biometrics takes place. Once Biometrics is submitted, processing and checking of your application/background takes place. Then you need to wait for the decision.

I have already submitted biometrics a week ago . I got biometrics requested letter after a day of submission of my file. Is it possible that i got this acknowledgement email after biometrics.

I mentioned above the link for number of estimated days of processing. But this can vary depending on the influx of applications. I think you just have to wait. If you want to enquire about your application you can contact IRCC via their web form http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Thanks Kat3onah for the swift reply. but it is normal that background check is taking that much time?

Yes as they need to check the validity of the documents you sent and the facts written on your application form. Unlike getting a US visa, you go to an interview. The officer can right away see if you are lying. For TRV, some even get a ban for falsification of documents.

There is no falsification of documents all the documents are genuine.

There is no falsification of documents all the documents are genuine. I have read some where that Abu Dhabi embassy are updating all the updates at once and the massage will just come for final decision.

This is not about you. I'm referring to some cases who did this.
