When I applied for a visit visa for myself, the processing times was over 300 days, but now it's 73 days! Should I be following the recent processing times or the one when I submitted the application? I know processing times on IRCC isn't that accurate, but at least I would have an estimate since they are not giving us any updates regarding my file!

I raised multiple webforms and sent weekly emails but no response at all! Just have to wait I guess
Hello Dear Members,
I really need your help in reviewing the purpose of travel & letter of invitation for my parents' visitor visa application. A few important things about their application are below -
1. Father is a retired teacher and pensioner. Mom is a homemaker.
2. They don't own any property or vehicle in India. Everything is under my name.
3. Father gets a monthly pension and he needs to be present in India for the bank to release the pension to his account. (Life certificate)
4. My sister, brother-in-law, and their son are in India and they keep visiting them regularly.
5. They have around $24000 in their saving account and a $12000 fixed deposit which will be used for their travel.
6. My wife and I are expecting our first child in Oct 2022. Family unification and celebrating the birth of their grandchild is the main purpose of their visit.
I am struggling to write convincing content to prove their strong ties to India. Below is my write-up.

Dear Visa Officer,
My Name is ABC (Passport No: ABC, DOB: April 0, 1955), and I am an Indian Citizen living in the city of ABC, Punjab, India. My spouse, ABC , (Passport No: TABC, DOB: Nov 0, 1954) and I are applying for a visitor’s visa for Canada.
The main purpose of our visit is to meet our son and daughter-in-law and to celebrate the birth of our grandchild expected to be born in Oct 2022. We will stay with our son’s family at their residence located at ABC, Brampton, ON – L7A ABC. The duration of our stay will be approx. 3 months and tentative travel dates are Oct 01, 2022, to Dec 30, 2022.
We are genuine visitors, and we assure you that we will leave Canada at the end of our visit. We are financially self-sufficient with access to each other’s funds and will pay for our travel. In addition to this, I am a pensioner and I need to be physically present in India for the bank to release my monthly pension funds to my account. A note from the bank is attached in support along with proof of funds. Moreover, our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson are in India, and they keep visiting us every now and then. (how to rewrite this line to leave an impact)
We have attached the following documents with this application for your perusal.
Bank statements (proof of funds)
Pension document and bank’s note for my physical presence in India
Marriage certificate
Income Tax returns (last 2 years)

I suggest you contact a good lawyer. Since he has no ties to india, and daughter (your sister) is also married, it will be difficult to show ties. Pension "Life certificates" can be provided via email or submitted online so it's not really the only deal maker here.
