Hi Guys, applied vist visa for my mother. She did her biometric on the 24th and got refusal on the 29th stating: We are not convinced that she will be leaving Canada.

However on the 30th morning I again received an email stating your profile has been updated, but no changes in GC Key. Is there any remote possibility that they can reverse their decision?

Hard to digest coz she is 55 and retired government teacher and receving healthy amount of pension.

Unfortunately, it is a refusal. You can try to email to have them look at your application one more time and send it all the proofs make sure you prove she will go back. She is retired that is probably why she got refused

We applied SOWP for my wife from Nepal (processing in India).

16 Sep - Submitted paper application including biometrics from VFS Nepal
20 Sep - Received alert from VFS that the application has been delivered and is processing
27 Sep - I linked the paper application online
1 Nov - Received request to do medical exams
4 Nov - Submitted medical report
7 Nov - Status for medical changed to approved
11 Nov - Received correspondence about biometrics

No updates after that. It has been over 5 weeks since Medical request and 4 weeks after correspondence of biometric. We sent a webform about the application on Nov 20. No replies. We don't know what to expect.

We are hopeful about approval since we have received medical and biometric correspondence, but the unusual delay is causing us doubt. Has anyone experienced such delays or knows what it means?
