Hi,

I applied for Canada visitors visa (TRV) online from India on 26th Jan 2016. So far, I have received 4 emails from CIC as under:

Jan 26th: You have a new message in your MyCIC account. (Application Submission)
Jan 26th: You have a new message in your MyCIC account. (Application Received Confirmation)
Jan 27th: Your application(XXXXXXXXX) has been updated. (I can't see any update in my online application)
Feb 4th : Your application(XXXXXXXXX) has been updated. (I can't see any update in my online application)

I received these "application updated" emails from cic but I dont see any messages/updates in the cic profile. Please suggest what these emails mean and how long does it take to receive a decision. Thanks.

Its 18 business days, not calendar days. I think you should expect a response soon. 15 Jan applicants are waiting still. Please update when u get any response. Good luck!!

Everyone,

trust me...the actual processing time is depend on how quickly they verify your information.
My mother's tourist visa application was submitted online on Feb 6th, 2016 and she received passport request on Feb 10th, 2016.

Hello everyone

I applied for my mother-in-law online on Dec 2nd 2015 and there is no update till now. I have even raised case specific enquiry, but no luck till date.

I too got 3 emails after I submitted my application online and the third one looked like a dummy email with no updates found on CIC.

Im sponsoring my mother in law and she holds India passport and currently she is in Dubai staying with her elder daughter so I gave Dubai address on the application.

Looks like my application got stuck somewhere on the system. So please share your updates because im clueless whether to re-apply or to wait longer. Even the call center is not responding to my query.
