Hi

I applied for visit visa 2 months ago & got refused with only one objection that i have weak ties in Pakistan as well as in Canada.
So i again applied for visit visa last month & yesterday i saw a message on my tracking ID page of VFS that my application is being processed at Canada Visa Office at Islamabad.

My concern is this that last time i didn't receive this kind of message when i applied 2 months ago. that time the only msg i used to see is *Your Application is in process at IRRC office Abu Dhabi. Now my application is in Islamabad from last week but when i deposit my docs last month then the email received by me about my application is under process at IRRC office.

kindly tell me or guide me what does it mean????

IRCC is the body that approves or rejects the visa application. Applicants cannot directly transact to IRCC. VFS acts as the mediator between the applicant and IRCC. Example when IRCC requires the biometrics the applicants submits it through VFS.

If VFS status says that your application is under process on IRCC, it means that the visa officers are already checking and verifying your application and the documents you presented. Once done, they will come up with the decision to approve or reject your visa application. Since you applied via paper, a decision envelope with your passport will be sent back to VFS. VFS will contact you that processing of visa is done.

I suggest, you link your paper application online so you'll be able to see the actual status of your application
and the result will reflect as well. If you don't link, you'll just receive the envelope without an idea if approve or rejected. Unless you open the envelope.

If VFS status says that your application is under process on IRCC, it means that the visa officers are already checking and verifying your application and the documents you presented. Once they come up with the decision the envelope will be sent back to VFS. VFS will contact you that they received your decision envelope.

Some VFS would collect the passport when your do biometrics. If your passport was not collected it is fine because once IRCC decides to approve your visa, VFS will inform you that you need to submit your passport.

If your visa was rejected, you will receive a refusal letter.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html gives the estimate days of processing.
The number of days may exceed if there are a lot of applications being processed.
