What did you submit to get a passport for your sister (i.e. without a birth certificate)?

Does her school leaving certificate state your mom's name?
You can submit a copy of your sister's passport (which has both your parents' names) + your parents' marriage certificate

Do ration cards exist? Anyway

You can include a copy of your sister's passport which has your mom's name + copy of your mom's passport which has your dad's name as her spouse. That should work

Estimated processing times are in calendar days, not in business days. This is good because one does not have to check for weekends/holidays
Hi Brayyna,

I just checked status of my sister and brother in law’s visitor visa application status on VFS webpage.

It say that their passport has been dispatched today…

Processing time shows by CIC is 24 calendar days.

They have submitted their passport on Feb 2 2017 at VFS Ahmedabad.

And today is Feb 13th and they will have their passport tomorrow. Only 11 calendar days !

Bangalore visa office

Why it it so much faster ? only 11 calendar days ! How come ? Processing time says 24 days !! ???

Hi Raj,

Processing times are only estimates. Some cases could be decided faster, like it was for your sister and BIL.

Also, your sister's TRV app was marked as CAN+ by the VFS guys = faster processing.

Have you been able to link their applications?


Cheers

Thanks Bryanna for quick response.

I tried few times today as well but I couldn't found their application online to link it with my cic account. Don't know y ? why ?

Faster processing time for their application is good sign or bad ? ???????

Because she had Canada visa before for 2.5 years and she has used it to visit Canada only once for 90 days ?????

Positive sign or not ? Bryanna ???

I'm surprised that the applications cannot be linked as yet.

Quite honestly, time is no indication of a good/bad decision.

You've done your best. Now you can hope for the best.

Based on their strong ties which you had mentioned, I think they have good chances of getting approved. We'll know when they get their passports back in less than 24 hours.

Don't get stressed. Fingers crossed :)

It's good that you could link their applications.

Congrats. That's great news :) :)

I think their TRVs will be valid until the expiry of their passports

Hi All,

Wanted to share the timeline for TRV Tourist
Applied on 20.01.17 at VFS Delhi
Passport sent on 23.01.17
Linked my paper application with my CIC account on 08.02.17
Today the status shows Closed
Your Application has been Approved ie 14.02.17
What does his mean as I applied for my 2 children and wife for a tourist visa.
The VFS status still says it's under process.....
