10 days to effing stamp a passport? Wow these guys are really something. Most countries process the entire application in under 10 days.

Bright side of the gloomy scenario, you have your visa.

Applied for a visitor visa for my spouse on Feb 16.

Today it has been 61 days since the application was submitted online.

Requested an update regarding the status of the application using the IRCC webform on March 21. Haven't heard anything regarding the enquiry.

I guess they are way too busy going through the hundreds of refugee claims for people crossing into Canada illegally to even reply to a request for just a status update.

Medical not required for Visitor Visa. It is mandatory for Super Visa.

Visitor Visa application for spouse submitted: Feb 16, 2017

62 days application still in process.

Requested a status update using the IRCC Webform: March 20, 2017

Finally received an email from CIC today stating that there are no updates, application is in progress and thanks for the patience.

Waited for a month to receive a generic email from CIC.

After going through this process I am never going to complain about waiting in a line to submit my paperwork at the BLS office in Surrey or Vancouver whenever applying for a visa to visit family in India.

Hi guys !! I submitted my visitor visa application (paper) at vsf Mumbai through a travel agent on 19th April for myself, wife and my 4 year old daughter. However inspite of specifically mentioning my email id on the forms, I haven't recd any confirmation email for the acknowledgement of the documents recd by vsf. When should I expect an ackno Mail? Also is there any chances that my travel agent has given a special request for mentioning his mail? I have been demanding a tracking no from him but some how he has been ignoring since 2 days. I am sure he is not a cheat as he is a family friend. But now I am suspicious. Could someone help me out? Just want to be sure about my application recd by the vsf.

When you printed and signed the application forms, did it have your email address?

Did you appoint him as a representative by signing the 'Use of a Representative IMM5476' form?

My parents applied on 17th March 2017. Been over a month now.. Still waiting.

Yes It had my mail id and I did sign the IMM5476 form.

 

[Bryanna]

Yes It had my mail id and I did sign the IMM5476 form.

The IMM 5476 form would overwrite your contact details. IRCC will contact your travel agent as you have appointed him as your representative. You will not be contacted by IRCC through email or otherwise.

FYI, your travel agent would have received three separate emails from VFS (on behalf of the visa office for each applicant)..... the next day after you applied.... which state that your applications have been forwarded to IRCC. These emails would also have Tracking Numbers (which don't really work on the VFS site but are helpful nonetheless)

If you are getting stressed out.... or if your travel agent is not giving you any updates, you may want to consider cancelling his appointment as your representative.


Here's how to do it (check the 'Change or cancel your representative' section):

Apart from sending these requests to IRCC through the webform, you can also email the Bangalore visa office (address is available on the IRCC website)

Thank you so much Bryanna for your quick response and clarity regarding the contact details which would overwrite the agents details as I was worried why didn't I receive any mail. I dont think I would require to cancel as I will follow up with him and get the tracking details. As you said the tracking details would not be of any help so how would I track the application?
