We applied for a Visitor visa online on 29th September from India. Biometrics were done for previously refused applications.

GC shows eligibility and background in progress
The tracker shows page was updated on 13th October and eligibility shows Completed in Green color,

Is this a good or bad sign? :(
Our visa got approved on Nov 26th and we sent the passport to Delhi for stamping.

Salams Saida. Firstly please note, this is a forum where all of us are either Current, or Past Canadian Visa applicants. We can only share our experience or accumulated knowledge from this forum with you. So none of us can tell you with any accuracy about what specifically is going on with your case.

Generally speaking - TRVs for Spousal PRs, were promised initially to be completed within 60 days. This may have been true in the very beginning, around May/early June 2023, but after that there was a pause. So much pause, that I was about to start a campaign through this site to encourage everyone to send MASS REFUND REQUEST...But finally, i can see things have started to move. Forget 60 days, applicants from May and June are still waiting to hear about their TRVs - and also their Spousal PRs.

From the recently completed TRV, it seems you might see an update in your tracker, where Eligibility will be changed to "complete". Then within 15 days, you will get the email for Passport Request - they will give you detailed instructions how and where to send your Passport. After a week or so, you will again get an email that your Passport is on its way back. And at the same time, your TRV tracker will be updated to Medical - complete ; Background - complete. But the main question is when will Eligibility be turned to complete? I wish i could tell you that.

Hopefully, you'll hear from CIC soon. I wish i could give you an estimated timeline. Have a little patience. Dont make any plans, dont buy tickets or anything that sort. Wait for the email or updates in your tracker.

Hi, just wanted to say a big thank you for taking the time to give me such a detailed answer. I really appreciate it! By the way, I've been hearing about more delays lately, especially for Pakistani applicants. It would be great to get an idea of the timeline. Thanks again for your help
