Hi Everyone,

I applied Visitor Visa from inside Canada online on Oct 24th. At that time the processing time from cic website was 7 days. It is now Nov. 6th, 10 business days has passed and the cic website shows that they are now processing application received on Oct 28th. But my application status is still the same as what it was on the day I applied (application submitted successfully). No passport request, no final decision made yet, no further request or updates.

Is there going to be any problem with it? I am super worried now. I have been in Canada as international student and worker for years. I always extend my permits and apply visas myself and had no problem before. The only thing different this time is that I applied PR last year and the PR application is now in progress. I have valid work permit and study permit though.

Anyway, does anyone have the same experience when applying visitor visa online? Does it mean that my application will be refused?
Thank you.

Posted times are estimates, not commitments.

One out of five applications take longer.

You will have to wait.

Hi I'm on the same truck. I have applied on 19th October, 2016. I have contacted o CIC and they emailed me back that it needs additional verification (don't know what is that). My PR application is also under process. Do you have any update?

I got the reply last Tuesday. It was written "Your file is currently under review and requires additional verifications. As a result, the assessment period will be outside of our posted processing times. Unfortunately at this time we are not able to determine when your application will be finalized, but our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or if any additional information or documents are required."
Don't know what to do. I'm waiting for PR application from long time.

Hello Tuki,

Could you please let me know how long in total it ended up taking CIC to send you a passport request for your TRV? I really appreciate your response, as I am currently in the same boat (I have been in Canada for 4 years, never had a problem. I recently applied to TRV from inside Canada which is taking too long. When I inquired, I got a response from CIC that it needs additional verification !). I appreciate your response.

Thanks !

It took almost 90 days to get the passport request for my TRV.
