I am on bridge open work permit and plan to visit India in Dec for some weeks.
I was thinking of applying online for Temporary Resident Visa. Unfortunately
there is no processing time set for in-Canada applications.

Has anybody applied for the same and how long did it take?

I am on BOWP. I applied TRV online on September 23, 2014. They requested passport on September 26, 2014. Passport was sent on September 30 by courier and I got it back on Tuesday, October 14, 2014.

Hope this will help.

I applied for a TRV paper version around mid Sept (with BOWP).

Mailed via Xpresspost on Friday, arrived the following Monday. The return tracker was activated on Friday and I received my passport back with the TRV the following Monday. So it was a total of 5 days processing time for me.

Its very annoying I applied for TRV on 29th Oct 2014 and today it completes 5 working days but still CIC hasn't requested my passport. Credit card got charged on the same day though. Hope they haven't gone in holiday mood. Seems for me they will use whole 14 working days. :'(
