Same with my mom's application. Biometrics completed on 19th April and Biometric Number got update but status still shows "
  • We have not received your fingerprints. Check your biometrics request message below for details.
I've tried to contact IRCC multiple times but no luck. sent webforms as well, again no response yet. I did apply VV application from Canada only and no update after Eligibility review.
Don't worry same thing happened to visitor visa application for my parents. There was no updates whatsoever but then BVL and PPR came same day.

Hello Dear Members,

I really need your help in reviewing the purpose of travel & letter of invitation for my parents' visitor visa application. A few important things about their application are below -


1. Father is a retired teacher and pensioner. Mom is a homemaker.
2. They don't own any property or vehicle in India. Everything is under my name.
3. Father gets a monthly pension and he needs to be present in India for the bank to release the pension to his account. (Life certificate)
4. My sister, brother-in-law, and their son are in India and they keep visiting them regularly.
5. They have around $24000 in their saving account and a $12000 fixed deposit which will be used for their travel.
6. My wife and I are expecting our first child in Oct 2022. Family unification and celebrating the birth of their grandchild is the main purpose of their visit.

I am struggling to write convincing content to prove their strong ties to India. Below is my write-up.


Purpose Of Travel

To,
Visa Officer,
Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)

Sub: Purpose of Travel



Dear Visa Officer,



My Name is ABC (Passport No: ABC, DOB: April 0, 1955), and I am an Indian Citizen living in the city of ABC, Punjab, India. My spouse, ABC , (Passport No: TABC, DOB: Nov 0, 1954) and I are applying for a visitor’s visa for Canada.

The main purpose of our visit is to meet our son and daughter-in-law and to celebrate the birth of our grandchild expected to be born in Oct 2022. We will stay with our son’s family at their residence located at ABC, Brampton, ON – L7A ABC. The duration of our stay will be approx. 3 months and tentative travel dates are Oct 01, 2022, to Dec 30, 2022.

We are genuine visitors, and we assure you that we will leave Canada at the end of our visit. We are financially self-sufficient with access to each other’s funds and will pay for our travel. In addition to this, I am a pensioner and I need to be physically present in India for the bank to release my monthly pension funds to my account. A note from the bank is attached in support along with proof of funds. Moreover, our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are in India, and they keep visiting us every now and then. (how to rewrite this line to leave an impact)

We have attached the following documents with this application for your perusal.

Bank statements (proof of funds)
Pension document and bank’s note for my physical presence in India
Marriage certificate
Income Tax returns (last 2 years)


Please feel free to contact me in case of any questions. Our contact info is undersigned.


Thank you for your time and consideration.


Regards,
Father's Name and Mother's Name

Don't worry. Parents visitor visa has the least refusal %age. Just mention in the invitation letter that you are sponsoring trip completely and show your canadian funds as proof.
My application was similar.
Visa will be approved under family reunification.
Good luck!

Nothing since biometrics update on 10th april 2022.

Process days has increased from 38 days to 54 days. I'm on the 60 th day now
I have seen people in similar circumstance as you that reapplied and got PPR pretty much instantly. You can alternatively send in a web form.
