Hi all Pakistanis.. please help a Pakistani sister in need.

I applied for my parent's visit visa on 22nd of August. My father is the primary applicant and mother is secondary. They got the confirmation and biometric form and they went on 28th to submit their biometrics. Then I didn't receive any update. 2 days later My mother's biometrics got completed but my father's didn't. and still it has been 14 days but no update. I know that biometrics are being delayed a lot these days I've read on other threads. But how is it possible that the finger prints taken 5 minutes apart didn't get through at the same time. What should I do? If 30 days are past their application will be rejected.

P.S. my parents told me that on the day they submitted the finger prints the VAC servers were down and they had to wait 2 hours just to give the prints.

AOA Hassan,

I am sorry for delayed response. Yes it is positive that you have strong ties with your home and host country as well. It will definitely help you regarding your trv.

Hi all, i am in usa right now in E2 status and wanted to visit to canada as a tourist. Do i need letter of invitation?
AOA,

If you want to visit as a tourist then it is not necessary. Hotel booking doc is enough for your visit.

AOA,

You do not need to worry regarding the status of your father's biometrics. CIC will definitely update you. It is possibility that there can be some technical issue from CIC end. You can also email them for this issue. It is fact that now a days delay is being observed in applications from Pakistan.
Why are you saying that after 30 days, your parents applications will be rejected???

AOA Asiagilani,

Dont be worry. your paper based application is still in under process and under review.

There was some technical error or system bug on CIC central website (Ottawa) and you received the message about your application refusal mistakenly.
As you said that you got email on 10th September (Sunday) and we know that staff members in federal immigration office Canada do not work on saturday sunday and their offices are closed on weekend. Kindly note all online status/applications are handled from federal immigration office. So the message you got on sunday was basically system generated message which was actually an error. Moreover, as you said also that you got updated message on very next day i.e Monday 11th September. It means they are working on your file and you will also receive such messages in future if your file is still in process.

Thank you.
