    I applied for Canadian Visitor Visa for my Parents who are Indian citizens and currently visiting USA on 04/07. Both of them completed their biometrics appointments last week. However there has been no other update to the applications. Has anyone applied for canada visitor visa recently? Any information on timeline for Candian visitor visa would be extremely helpful
    I applied thru IRCC portal and am able to check their status. It does mention that the application is in progress, does mention that interview and medical exams are not required.
    Any information would be extremely helpful​
    Many applicants for Canadian visitor visas experience varying processing times. It's common for the application status to indicate that it's in progress without further updates for a while. Typically, processing times can range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on various factors such as the volume of applications and individual circumstances. Rest assured, if no interview or medical exams are requested, it's a positive sign. Keep monitoring the application status through the IRCC portal for any updates.

    Hi..How long does it take for TRV stamping approval, if we applied from USA (Indian passport) and have a valid work permit.
    Already worked in Canada and have extension approved now in January.
    Had to step out of Canada due to a family emergency.Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am trying to submit my Canada visitor visa application online, but experiencing some issues (screen shot attached). I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing any issues with uploading the imm5257e form. As the instructions say, I downloaded the form, completed it, did not sign, and validated. It gave me the barcodes as well. But every time I try to upload it, I get an error saying" The version of the document is no longer acceptable". I've tried this multiple times, using the form from the checklist. I even double-checked for Adobe 10 as recommended. I've submitted a technical problem as well, but in the meanwhile wanted to check if anyone already dealt with this issue.

    Any thoughts, ideas or help would be very much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Hi all,

    For IRCC to approve visitor visa, is it required to have US visa stamped on passport for latest approved I797 validity?
    Or just I797 and I94 with future expiry date are sufficient even if visa stamp may be expired? Thank you.


    Regards,
    Rajat

    Hi All,

    I am an Indian Citizen and currently on a H1B visa in USA. My H1B visa was recently approved, I have the I767 approval notice in hand, but I have not got the visa stamped on my passport yet. I want to apply for Canadian tourist visa to visit my family. Since I do not have an H1B stamp yet, will I767 approval notice be enough to prove my immigration status in USA? Is it safe to apply for a visit visa with just the H1B visa approval notice? Also, can someone please help me with all the documents to be submitted to prove immigration status in USA (since I do not have the H1B stamp). Your help/advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
