It took about 2 weeks.
Hi HkCaptian,
Did you get your mother's passport back? Just wanted to check if you received multiple entry visa or single entry one.
I am in similar situation as you, waiting eagerly for mother's visa processing as she is alone there.
Really appreciate your help.

Thank you.

I submitted my Mom's visitor visa application last year and her biometrics appointment is in a couple of weeks.

Should I update the Visitor visa documents like Travel Itinerary, Invitation Letter, Bank statements, and travel date as they all have the old dates? And, do I have to do it through the web form?

Hi, Once you have visit visa for your parents, how are you booking flights for them to Canada? Will they be traveling the same routes as the students, in chartered flights?

My dad gave Biometrics on July 23 and I raised web form for prioritization on Aug 03. Its being more than 14 business days and I did not hear back anything from CIC. Shall I raise another web form to check the status of the application? Please suggest if there is any other way to expedite the processing.
