Visitor's visa - online application

[Maplicito]

Quick question. I've been helping a friend apply to visit Canada. She was previously denied a visa - that was an online application, and all that happened was that the application updated to "denied".

This time - her current application status indicates that a decision has not been started. However, it was updated (while still saying not started) with a request for visa, and that document indicates that a decision has been made, and that they need her original passport.

Are we getting way ahead of ourselves, or does that mean that the visa was approved?

In most cases, it means an approval. A decision will be made only when the passport is submitted.

If a TRV is issued then the update will change to 'Approved'

Very likely it was approved; for me it was!

Thanks for the responses!
