Hello Guys,

What is the processing timeline under this category from sending an application until getting a passport received? hopefully, with a visa stamped.

Any users who got their visas under this category can share their timelines? are 20 days mentioned by another user the maximum visa processing time under this category?

Thanks.

Austria

applied: 25 april 2023
biometrics letter: 28 april 2023
biometrics done: 2 may 2023

waiting for decision. my case is applicable for CAN+ processing. However, it is supposed to be a faster processing category. i watched somewhere on youtube it is supposed to be 5 days at maximum processing time but I am not too sure with iRCC strikes and all.

someone wrote 20 days in one of the other posts so I am kind of hopeful. i am traveling on 25 june.

Has your file started eligibility review? IRCC decides whether it will be processed as CAN+. 5 days is not realistic but can be 20 or so days for approval. All you can do is wait.
