Hi,
I am a PR in Canada and I applied for visitor visa for my parents from India on October 23 2021. Biometrics were completed on Dec 1 2021. But the file hasn't moved yet. I applied through the new portal

Earlier I was hearing stories of getting passport requests two weeks after biometrics. Is that still the case now ? Are there others in the same boat as me ? Can somone give me a timeline ?

My timeline

Visa Applied : 23-Oct-2021
Biometrics received : 01-Dec-2021

Hi,
Sorry, not an answer for your question. May I ask if you submitted financial information even if optional? If so, did you use your income or just your parents? I want to apply visitor visa for my parents (under 6 month visit) but my T4 is lower than LICO.
