I applied on 24th June Online ,, Wanted to travel on 28th Aug but No Updates on the visa yet .
I have few questions
1) Can I upgrade to CAN+ . I did not know about CAN+ visa while applying, I hold Valid 10 year USA visa and have visited USA multiple times in last ten years ..
2) If the Visa is not processed in time , is there a method to 'Cancel the VISA' process ... or give up and wait till the final results .

My parents, who applied for visitor visa online from India in the 3rd week of June, got passport request on Aug 4. Passports sent to CIC Bangalore on Aug 5. No news since then.

I don't think either that CIC operates as per the travel dates mentioned by applicants. For instance, when my parents applied in June to travel in the first week of Aug, the approximate processing time as published on the CIC website was 23 days. But now it's almost 60 days and well past the travel date mentioned in the covering letter.

Sorry man I just saw your answer by chance. I am completely frustrated. American have guts these guys don't. My mom applied for US visa on the 2nd Aug from Delhi got appointment on the 16th Aug and passport given back on the 19th. Canadian are so risk averse. BC. I don't know what security check are they doing.

You could raise a request through case specific inquiry to withdraw application. They will acknowledge saying we have attached a copy on your file if the officer has not started working on your file you will get your money back.

One speculation is that CIC offices, at least in India, are busy with student application for the session that begins in the first week of September. Not sure if that's true.

Yes I can think of this as one of the excuse. But why always me. When I was a student I submitted my application on 24th Feb 2014 got application approval on June 24th after so many emails and visit to the embassy. :(

Hi what i heard about CAN+ Prog is that it is available for Indians and Mexicans who had been to US/Canada in past 10 Years, they have to submit less of the papers and there outcome of the visa application usually comes before others who applied normally... But this really depends on the officer who assess your documents.. Hope i will be of some help

Thank you :)

I applied online. I have been asked to submit passport. Could I mail the passport to the VFS (VAC)? But according to VFS website they accept cash only, so how can we mail the passport to VFS (VAC)?
