Hi Everyone,

My brother flight is next week, and we submitted passport last week. It seems we can't get it in time. Is there a way to expedite it or get the passport back. He needs to travel to Australia as lives there.
If we cancel the application, can we get the passport quickly.

I recently applied for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), and I wanted to check if my case is progressing as expected or if anyone else has had a similar experience.

Here’s a quick summary of my application timeline:

• Application Date: 23-12-2024
• Biometrics: 24-12-2024
• Background Check: Started shortly after biometrics completion.
• Eligibility Check: Has not started yet.

Now, I’m concerned because it’s unusual for the eligibility check to remain pending while the background check has already begun. I’ve submitted a very basic and fact-based set of documents, and I’m a resident of Saudi Arabia with Indian nationality.

Is this sequence normal, or should I be worried? Has anyone experienced a similar situation where the background check started before eligibility was even reviewed?

I’d appreciate any insights or experiences others can share, especially those who have applied from the Middle East or with a similar background.

There is no clear directive, both can be in parallel or on after the other. Sometimes even after decision, they are ongoing.
In short does not seem worrisome

Thank you for your response, I understand that the process can vary and it’s normal for these checks to happen in parallel or one after the other.

However, my concern stems from the fact that I applied for the TRV without much prior knowledge of the documentation required. I made sure to provide accurate information on the form and submitted the basic documents that I thought were necessary, such as:

• Passport
• Saudi Resident ID
• Bank Statement
• Credit Card Statement

My plan is to visit Canada for only one week. However, after doing some research, I was informed that these documents may not be sufficient for a TRV application and that my application could be rejected as a result.

Is this true? Should I be concerned that my application may be rejected due to the limited documents I provided?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Or they may ask additional documents or may straight way reject if purposes not made clear
