Hi all,

I am applying for regular visitor visa to my parents. I made my father primary applicant and my mother as accompanying. I filled 'purpose of travel' for my father as 'to visit friends/family' . How to answer this question for my mother?

1. Why is your family member visiting Canada?
Should I select "Visit - Tourism" or "Visit - All other types"?

I selected Visit - All other types.

What should I upload for 'Purpose of Travel - Other (required)'? They are coming here to visit me and will be here for 3-4 months. Should I just prepare word doc and say, purpose of travel as "To visit daughter and her family". I didn't book their tickets yet and will book only after visa is confirmed.
 
Bryanna,

I noticed my visa was given for 6 month n single entry. My wife will apply for her extension of permit tonight. Do u think if fhe secures her permit then ill b able to extend or change my visa to open work permit within canada?

As the Bangalore VO has already forwarded your email to NDVO (things are moving) + you have sent three CSEs so far. I suggest you do not send another CSE/email to NDVO

Hi Bryanna,

Yesterday, my Father's passport got dispatched from Bangalore and his application status has changed to "Approved"

Still no update to Mom's application. :(

Your mom will get her TRV. It's just a matter of time. NDVO would have noted the changes after receiving the email from the Bangalore VO

Don't worry :)

SGA,

processing time really depends sometimes it takes a week to 10 days sometimes a month. I applied feb 7 and was called for an interview on 6th march and usually the officer if satisfied will ask u to collect ur passport the same day from the reception. INterview only takes abt 10 mins unless u keep raising their doubts. gudluck
 
Hi all,
I have a quick question. Do we need to have a medical test done upfront for tourist visa.
Is there a form or something we need to submit to the doctor.
Please advice
TIA

Hi all,

I have applied on Feb 24th for my Mom. Haven't got any update as of now. Anyone got any update?

And what is your application Status? Mine used to stay "Open" a few days back but now it has changed to

"We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."

So is this a system update or the Status has changed showing there is some progress.

Hi Jin,

There's a lot more that both you and your mom must submit. I suggest you go through this forum + the Visa Office Instructions/Document checklist posted on the IRCC website for India applicants.

Do post specific queries or the list of documents which you intend to submit, and I will surely help you


Cheers
