Hi, We had applied visitor visa on April 25, 2019 online from New Delhi India. Biometrics completed on May 1, 2019 and updated in system. have received visitor acknowledgement letter on May 10, 2019.

Review of eligibility: In progress;
Additional documents: Not needed
Background check: Processing
Final decision: In progress

Website states processing time as 13 days; just wanted to ask whether its counted from after biometrics date; if yes, its still 9 working days. We have flight on May 31, 2019. Does it look within timelines?

The processing time doesn’t include:
  • the time it takes to send an application between a VAC and CIC office.
  • the time you need to give your biometrics.
CIC clearly states not to book flight tickets until stamped visa passport received back.
However, I guess you have good enough time with you.

Good Luck

What to do now?
Sorry to hear that your visa was rejected, but it's not the end of the world you can definitely try again.
Quick question, did you attached a confirmed flight ticket with your application?

Also, in future when you apply by paper or online, make sure you buy a Travel Insurance from a reputed Canadian company (e.g. RSA, Manulife, GMS, Blue cross Canada), and then attach the proof of insurance purchase with your application. You do not need an insurance broker for this, you can easily buy it yourself online.

The insurance should cover your stay period/ days mentioned in your application. Even if it's not a mandatory requirement, it does help. And just in the worse case, you do not get a Visa, these insurance companies will refund you your money.

There are many mom&pop insurance companies also in CANADA, just avoid them, even if they offer cheaper insurance, because immigration officers are fully aware of the credibility of the insurance companies; and off-course do not buy it from your home country, buy it from a company with offices in Canada.

The other suggestion is to save more money in your account to demonstrate your financial stability. There could be lot other factors which might have caused the rejection, but at the end of the day if you are able to demonstrate that you are a serious traveler and are not intending to stay in Canada, you will get your Visa.

Please note that I am not an insurance broker, above suggestions were on the basis of my experience.
