Looking to apply for a visitor visa for my parents - Checking the IRCC site, it looks like the processing time is 250 days if applying from India and 74 days if applying from the USA. Anyone thats applied recently, can you please let me know if these processing times are accurate.

I created this thread cos i saw someone from pakistan post their processing time and it was done in 45 days (started in Sep and wrapped up sometime around the first week of october) - Even though the IRCC website lists similar wait times for pakistan (around 200 days)

But the difference is - VFS have re-opened in Pakistan. They are still closed in India.

Oh, didn't know that... This is super annoying.. I guess then my only option is to have my mom fly into the usa and then apply from there

That's a good idea. But is USA allowing people on tourist visas to come in?
