If you applied on paper, link your application online to see the actual status. VAC status does not tell much.

Here are the steps;
Create a new GC Key account. On the link https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html, click "Sign in or create an account to apply online" on right and go down a little to "continue to GC Key" and click it. Now click "Sign Up" on the right and create a new profile. Remember the answers to the security questions that you'd be setting at this time.
Once that's done, login again and click "Add (link) your application to your account " on the User's account page.
Select category as "temporary residence" and sub-category as TRV. Under "Application details" select last option. Enter UCI, no hyphens and no space. Enter Family Name as last name on passport (upper/lower case matters). Next, select passport form drop down.
Enter all other fields as filled in application form. And click "search my application". If all fields are correct it will give you the application and you can proceed with linking it. If not, it give you 4 more attempts in 24 hours and then it would ask you to try again after 24 hours.

Hi Amber,

you're not alone here, I have submitted TRV application for my parents and younger brother, and there hasn't been any movement in their application since 11th April except for my father and brother biometrics information got updated and for my mother it never updated, though they have emailed me saying it has been received and updated in the system but still as of today it doesn't reflect on her profile.

I submitted online on 10th April
Biometrics instruction letter 11th April
biometrics done for my brother 12th April (information updated same day on cic/ircc profile)
biometrics done for my father 16th April (information updated same day on cic/ircc profile)
biometrics done for my mother 19th April (never updated :)

My current status is PR, full-time job, have added itinerary, medical insurance, both of them due to start from 21st May :), which is just round the corner.

I could have applied Super Visa for my parents but I wanted to try my luck for my younger brother, who is 2nd year student at LUMS (attached his transcript, character certificate from HOD/Dean).

Let's see, I am just waiting and being optimistic :)
Don't forget we are Pakistanis (white glove service :), I mean it when I say that, the moment a visa officer see a single doubt in your application, he/she refuses it right away.

have a look at this article:

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-visa-rejections-frustrate-efforts-to-bring-in-more-international-2/

when I moved to Canada in 2013, it was very east to get student visa, now I hardly see any Pakistani coming to University of Victoria, University of British Columbia or Simon Fraser University.

even after getting their admission here, their applications are being rejected. And it has been the case with Spousal work permit, PR (express Entry) and different types of TRVs.

So, just hang in there and be optimistic.

Good luck.
