Hi, What to do if my visit visa application for my father who lives in UAE has no update since Nov 2020! How do i check when they will approve it? Worth noting that my father took the visit visa twice before, visited me, and returned to UAE and the current application is merely a renewal for...

Thanks .. is there any estimate on how long this process usually takes ?

Hi, i used to have a very smooth and quick processing for the last 6 years of my TRV (visit visas) however, recently i re-applied for a renewal of my visa (July2016) and nothing has came up yet. The processing duration ways exceeds the estimated processing on CIC website for Outside Canada...
