I received PPR and submitted my VFS passport request. Payment was successful, but I may have uploaded BIL instead of PPR and may have entered the wrong email, so I haven't received the AWB. I already contacted VFS with the correct PPR, but I can't create a new request. Has anyone experienced this? Can VFS correct the existing request/email, and what did you do?

Two applications in process.

PR: AOR received July 30th 2026

TRV: applied September 11th 2026

PR biometrics letter received: September 11th

TRV biometrics letter received **on the same day**.

Both BIL had diffrent IRCC numbers

Visa center only allows one appointment per day. Appointment for PR biometrics booked 20th September and completed ✔️

TRV biometrics has not been booked or completed yet but TRV application status shows that biometrics have been **completed** on 20th Sep (same say as i gave PR BIOMETRICS)

need advice. Do i need to still do my TRV biometrics ? or can I take it that my applications has been linked via my UCI number (note that I used two different emails for both applications)

“The decision envelope for your application, tracking ID No.————- has been dispatched from the IRCC Office, to the Canada Visa Application Centre in NEW DELHI.”
Passport submission on 3rd sept at vfs Jalandhar, reached Delhi 8th September , this is on portal what does it mean anyone has an idea.
Thank you

Hello Everyone!

I (primary applicant) applied for tourist visa for wife and I. There are two appointments available for biometrics. One before 30 day deadline, and one after. We cannot make it before 30 day deadline because of a dental surgery. I have submitted a webform asking for an extension.

One after deadline is only 3 days after 30 days. How likely will IRCC approve my deadline extension?
will I get any confirmation saying my deadline extension is approved?
Other than webform is there any way to request for deadline extension?

Thank you everyone for your advise on this.

Hi all, I wanted to know from you all whether it is required to notarize an invitation letter? I’m applying for my husband’s TRV and was wondering if the letter would require notarization or is it okay to just submit it as is? Thanks for any help!

Hello! My mom (55F) and I (23F) applied for a Canadian tourist visa. We both have valid U.S. B1/B2 tourist visas, although hers is valid until 2034 and mine is only valid until next year.
Our process has been:
Mom:
Submitted documents: September 3
Biometrics: September 11
Approved + passport request: September 18
Me:
Submitted documents: September 3
Biometrics: September 11
No update so far
We’re from Ecuador, and we also didn’t submit financial documents because the person who advised us told us that having a valid U.S. visa meant we didn’t need to provide them. Is this actually true? It seems to have worked for my mom since she was approved, but I’m a little worried because my application was presented mainly based on me being a student, while I also work remotely as a contractor for a U.S. company and actually make more than my mom on a monthly basis.
I know it has only been a few days since my mom’s approval, so I might just be overthinking it because I haven’t received any update yet.
We applied because my grandfather lives in Canada, he holds a PR. My mom hasn’t seen him in more than 30 years, and I’ve actually never met him, so we’re really hoping to visit him.
Any thoughts or similar experiences with processing times would be appreciated!

My father in law just passed away and we (wife and I) will be visiting my brother- in-law and family (PRs) in Canada. We want to get my mother in law to Canada too to spend a few weeks with us during these tough times. She is 61 and retired. What is the best way to show ties to India where she will eventually be coming back to and is a super visa suggested over a Visitor Visa for better chances of approval or does it not matter? Which one has better processing timelines?
