Hi All,
I have a question. I applied visitor visa for my parents via the new portal (https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/). The application was submitted on the 20th of Feb 2022 and the biometrics were done on the 23rd of Feb. Since then there has been no update on the application. Has anyone else faced this issue? What can I do to move the application forward?
An update,
Finally, got the passport stamped. I'm sharing the timeline here.
Application: 20th Feb
Biometrics: 23rd Feb
RFP: 17th Nov
Passport submitted: 21st Nov (VAC Lahore Pakistan)
Passport returned: 25th Nov

Overall it took over 9 months for the complete process.

Hello! My parents who applied for visitor visa in August received their PPR on Nov 27. They need to submit their passport (Bangalore) and have it returned by Dec 12th as they have tickets booked to travel on 13th. Does anyone know how long it takes to submit/receive back passport with Bangalore VAC? Can the process be expedited?

the whole process takes 7-10 days
Suggest don't use courier services and personally submit and pich up the passport from VFS

Hi folks. Applied for my parent's TRV from India and my father received the passport request email this morning. Do the passports have to be submitted in person? Is there no courier service to submit the passport in India? Not able to find it on VFS website - could someone please throw some light on this? Thank you!
