Would anyone recommend applying for TRV for my parents while waiting for the super visa (as it's taking forever)? and around how long is it taking currently to get a decision for a visitor visa from Abu Dhabi?

hey I might have asked you this before, I don't remember to be honest. Was this your first-ever application? and what type of visitor visa was it? (study,work,visit)

I heard that this is happening sometimes. One of my friends had the same issue but they sent the second PPR couple of days after so I believe there is no need to worry.
MP received reply from IRCC last week abt my mother's application " all assessments are passed and application is in queue for final decision "
But Now it's more than 1 week but no response

Hello Everyone,

I applied for my parents and siblings in May and got a refusal today. The reason for refusal is not satisfying office to leave Canada at the end of the stay and the purpose of the visit is not consistent with a temporary stay. All the documents were provided. What should I do next? Write a GMCS note?

Hello,

I am planning to apply for a visitor visa to Canada from UAE, I have a friend there who can provide me with an Invitation Letter. My friend is on a work visa there, and she can provide proof of her rental lease (Ending November 2023).

I am hesitating between whether I should go with a normal hotel booking and go for “Tourism” option, or to submit an invitation letter and go for “Visit a friend”.

The reason behind my hesitation is that I have been told that it might take longer time to study the visa request as they must do background check for the person inviting.

Please advise.

I wanted to share that both my wife and I recently obtained our Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs). After that, I applied for TRVs for my 13-year-old and 16-year-old sons in the UAE on May 25th, and their applications have exceeded the normal processing time.

Here's a timeline of events:

May 25th: Submitted the applications.
May 26th: Completed biometrics for my 16-year-old son.
Background check: In progress.
Eligibility: Not started.

I'm curious if anyone has experienced a similar situation. I'm also wondering if the age of my sons could be a reason for the delay. Your insights would be appreciate
