Visitor visa urgent help

[Drhitz]

Hello all,

We need some help / advice.

We submitted an application to the Canadian high commission for a visitor visa. I hold an Indian passport and my spouse is British, I live and work in UK. We are applying from Uk via the online process.
The full application was submitted on 21st April 2019 and completed the biometrics on 29th April.
We are due to fly out in 10 days time and we’ve yet to hear any progress on the application since the completion of the biometrics.
The application progress tracker just states the application is in progress, no change since we submitted the application.
We've chased online using the web form however no response received. There is no number we can call to chase them.

please help, what should we do?

Expect the possibility of having to reschedule or refund your flights, and next time don't buy plane tickets until you get a visa.

Apart from the web form, which you already did, there's nothing else you can do.

Your wife can still travel if she has her ETA.

Ok thanks all for your inputs. Our flight unfortunately is non refundable / non amendable so we are told by the travel agent. I think we will lose out on this occasion

Hello all, we have an update.

This afternoon the visa status changed to Approved. We’ve posted out the passport, hopefully we receive the passport back and stamped in time for the trip next week. Will update you next week
