Hi everyone,

I am new to this thread. I am about to apply for visitor visa for my mom. I am looking for some advice based on the experience of members here.

1. What is recommended to apply for visa...online or paper based? Is there any difference in timelines for processing?

2. My mom currently has 10 year US visa. She also had Canada tourist visa and super visa in the past (both expired). Does it enable her for expedited processing? I heard about CAN+ program. How to apply for visa under this program?

3. Any suggestions you would like to make for online visa application? Any points which can be beneficial to everyone applying online.

Thanks and all the best wishes on your visa approvals :)

Cheers,

Applicants who applied on 22 july are still waiting. I applied on 28th july and still waiting. So you can't expect anything from Bangalore office any soon. Welcome to waiting line. :)

Also to be noted...
Banglore visa office was closed Monday and Tuesday, hopefully will get to hear something today..

SOURCE: vfsglobal website banglore..

""Canada Visa applicants may please be informed that the Visa Application Centre in Bangalore will remain closed on Tuesday, 13 September 2016 due to unrest in the city owing to Cauvery water dispute. Please call our call centre or check this space for further updates.""
All this are slowing down the process even further... :-[
