Visitor Visa Application May 2025

[canuck78]

You can attach the current bank statement and balance certificate and your income source write a strong covering letter answering these questions and you will get the good response.

You can’t attach new information for reconsideration. They should reapply.

I applied for my sister and her husband and son on may 13 , biometrics were already on file. no update since then if they are taking this long is this a positive sign?

Can't say anything. 10 me visa milta bhi hai aur 30 days k baad refuse bhi ho jata hai. Its such a hassle. I really wanted to meet my sister

 

[canuck78]

Can we go for reconsideration in visit visa case?

You can’t attach new technically ask for reconsideration for any application. It is an informal process. You’d have to show that an error was made based on the application IRCC received. If you want to submit other information. You should reapply. Would suggest ordering GCMS notes and address all concerns in your next application. Assume your husband’s military service may also be causing a problem

Either you get processed fairly quickly within weeks if AI is primarily involved. If manual application is required it can take months. Processing time is not a predictor of approval/refusal. Slightly better I guess because you could have been denied quickly but otherwise just normal processing time which could take a few more months

Husband military se ha iss liye time lag jata ha processing ko. But apka is sure by AI. Humne reconsideration daal kar visa liye ha. Ye jo baki bol rahe ha inko practical experience nahi ha. Reconsideration me koi fee nai lagti extra. Ye try karne me koi risk bhi nai ha as it is already denied. Baki aapki marji. Hope you will get the visa soon and meet your sister.

Thank you for the kind words. I will surely try this option. Additionally we haven't received the decision yet for my husband who is retired from military

Hey guys

I applied for mother’s visitor visa on May 14,2025. No updates since then.
Looks like their processing timelines are not accurate.

Hello all,

Can I please request for the suggestion for one the scenario I am stuck in. I will be thankful for any helpful suggestion. I have applied for spousal sponsorship PR (Mar 2025) and applied for visitor visa (May 2025).

So far update on my PR is:
- Biometrics Completed (14 April)
- Medical Completed (14 April), Passed Medical (17 April)
- Sponsorship Approval Letter (18 April)
- Pre-invitation letter (18 April)
AND Background Check in Progress since then...

So, now I was wondering to bring my spouse on visitor visa, but what to do if incase we get PPR for Sponsorship PR and still plan to come to based on Visitor visa (just to come sooner as it might take longer to send passport again for stamping for Sponsorship PR).

So in this scenario, how can my spouse apply for PR card after coming to Canada on Visitor Visa and having PPR (or Sponsorship PR approved) after landing in Canada?

Thank you again for your time. Any help would be much appreciated.
