Hello,

I submitted a visitor visa application for my parents living in India online in April 2021. In August 2021 they were asked to submit biometrics and since then there has been radio silence. I am unable to get any updates from either VFS or the Canadian Consulate office in Delhi. Besides, the standard response "It's in process and we will request passport at the appropriate time" I am unable to get anything meaningful.

What can I do to expedite this? Should I file another application on the IRCC Portal? Appreciate the group's advice.

Thank you
