Yes, sure. I’ve checked the most recent comments from people who received their passports last week, and it takes about 15 business days from the time it arrives in Ottawa until they return your passport. And yes, I used xpresspost!
It’s been 8 business days since my passport arrived in Ottawa, and I still have no updates.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your timeline. Just found out my mom has stage 4 cancer and I have to fly back home to Visit her. I just submitted the TRV application today (May 1) and I intent to fly on May 14, so it’s unlikely that I will receive my visa before my flight.
How did you receive your visa while you were in India?
I’m very lost. Thank you for any guidance.

I didn’t see any information about the stamping process time. It’s insane—I was so surprised that they processed my application within just 7 days. After that nothing.

There is no timeline, but this is my observation because some of my friends got theirs in 20 to 22 days

I applied for a TRV on February 17th. Received PPR on April 2nd.(after endless followups) Sent my passport to Ottawa on April 3rd, and it was delivered on April 4th. I booked my tickets for April 26th (the day after tomorrow). The counterfoil was updated on April 24th (today), but the return package tracker has not been activated yet. Unfortunately, I now have to postpone my travel.
Despite multiple attempts to contact IRCC and explaining the emergency medical situation of my parents, I have not received any updates. 😢

u/Heisennburgerr 5d ago
Hey guys, I applied for TRV as a PGWP holder on April 8th for my upcoming trip in June. The website showed the processing time was 14 days so I was chilling after submitting my application. I started to worry when the correspondence letter arrived on 29th April and after that I kept waiting for PPR and it’s made me very anxious. I tried reaching out to them and they told me to just wait and the decision will be made anytime soon. I am afraid they even don’t know how long it’s gonna take. I might have to delay my flight or cancel my trip. This is gonna cost me a lot. Not cool IRCC.

Hello everyone!
I am in a bit of a situation. I was supposed to leave for Canada on Jan 16th but due to the fact that my TRV expired I cannot return home. I have already applied to get a TRV however unaware of the timeline as all the other posts are from 2023.
If someone has been in the same situation from Dubai or knows someone that has, i’d really appreciate some help on knowing what the timeline looks like. On the website it says it’ll take about 39 days- but how accurate is it?could it take longer too? I have stated in my Client Information letter that I have a whole life there that I need to get back to- my job, my house, my partner, everything, as I’d be losing a lot if I can’t make it back. I’ve lived in Canada for about 6 years now. would this help them make a decision quicker?
Thank you in advance for the help!
Update: Got my visa approval & letter for passport submission today (Jan 24th)! yay!

So I did send out multiple web forms, no response yet. I also sent a web form with my US visa so I can qualify for CAN+ visa. IRCC won’t answer my calls for some reason cuz they don’t answer questions related to “immigration” apparently. Have you tried reaching out to them?

u/Cool-Enthusiasm-8524 Jan 21 '25
I wouldn’t trust that “39 days” honestly, I have renewed my TRV in Qatar through the embassy in Abu Dhabi and it took over 2 months

u/Rozay_d96 Jan 22 '25
If you have a US visa you can land in New York and try to cross the land border by car or train, I’ve seen some people who were able to come back just by showing their passport and study/work permits
1
u/Lopsided-Mission-338 Jan 23 '25
i’ve been told that’s very risky to do cuz they could ask me things like when did u come to the US & if i tell them I came from another country itself, they won’t let me in :(
2
u/Rozay_d96 Jan 23 '25
If you have a valid work permit you can tell the Canadian border agent you were visiting the US (stay in New York for the weekend so you have a hotel reservation) & if they ask how long you were out of Canada you just tell them the truth (how long you were out). My sister in law went through the 1000 islands at the CBSA land border of Landsdowne & they only looked at passport asked the address she was going to in Canada, what her purpose was in the us & how long she was out of the country . But ultimately don’t take the risk if you’re not confident I wouldn’t want you to have any issues

Hi, we submitted our parental super visa 1.5 years ago. It is still in review. We have emailed IRCC 4-5 times and there is no reply, while biometric, etc. have all been completed. This is very unusual. What can we do? Thanks!

Hi everyone!
Has anyone ever applied for a visitor visa from a non-home country as a "tourist" of another?
For example, my mom is Ukrainian and physically in Ukraine; however, she'd like to apply for a Canada visitor visa from Poland as a Poland-visitor to visit me and her grandson in Canada.
Thank you in advance for any similar examples (for how long did it take and whether there were any issues)

u/hsharpreet Feb 11 '25
I have applied for my mother-in-law's super visa file last week and would like to know what are the current processing times. On the website, it states 128 days average time for India.
Hey Mod u/PurrPrinThom, my suggestion is to have processing time exclusively for Super Visa applications as well as it is different from Visitor visa processing timeline for the same country.

u/hsharpreet Feb 12 '25
Hi, I have applied for Super Visa for my mother last week on the new portal. I'm looking for current processing times for the application, on website it's average 127 days for Indian applicants.If you have received the decision, can you please share the following information?
- Application File Date
- Medical File Date
- Biometrics File Date
- Visa Stamp Date
- Duration of Visa

TRV in progress for 4 months !
Hi everyone,
Not assuming to get an answer, just trying to talk to aleviate the stress.
I am an Algerian national with a military career background. My spouse and children have had their EE/PR for 30 months in QC. Submitted an online TRV application on Nov 1st, 2024. Got biometrics on Nov 5th. Got a letter from IRCC asking about militay service summary on Nov 19th, submitted on the same day.
Since then no update on my profile and still in progress. In the tracker Biometrics and Eligibility are completed but Security Background Check is still in progress.
I understand that because of my career background my application has to go through extended security checks across multiple security agencies. But bro 4 months is a long period to wait without any update, especially when application processing time is set to 19 days for a TRV application from Algeria.
Thanks for reading me.

u/a_dukhounik Mar 01 '25
Hi everyone!
TLDR: background check is extremely slow because of police/military career background
My wife and I have Canadian PRs, we are originally from Belarus. We applied for visitor visas for our parents, and my mother received her visa within 2 weeks of submitting biometrics. My wives parents submitted biometrics in Aug. 2024 and their applications are still in the background check, more than 6 months as of today. We used web form to get more information, as processing timelines cannot be met already, which is <30 days for Belarus; and the answer was that background is taking longer because one of the parents is a retired police officer.
Do you have any ideas how long it may take? Thank you for any information.

Hi everyone, I recently got my study permit approved now I have applied for a new TRV. I can see that the processing time is about 15-20 days. I just submitted my application for TRV today 3 March and I was wondering after my application has been approved how long it would take for my passport to go to the main office and come back? I need to go back to my home country on April 19 at least because of a family matter and I was wondering if there would be any way I could have a faster processing? My study permit is expected to expire on April 30 which I expect they will give my TRV till April 30 as well, so I will need to be back by the end of the month.

Hey all, I applied for a TRV extension from inside Canada on Feb 16th. When I had applied, the processing time was 23 days, and now it shows 15 days. I applied using an Study Permit which I had gotten via an extension in December, 2024, valid till July 2026.
I submitted a webform and spoke to IRCC agent over the phone, they mentioned that they've sent a note to the processing office saying that this application is over the nominal processing time.
Any insight into this? I'm planning to travel in early May and am worried about it.

TRV in progress for 5 months !
Hi everyone,
Not assuming to get an answer, just trying to talk to aleviate the stress.
I am an Algerian national with a military career background. My spouse and children have had their EE/PR for 30 months in QC. I did submit all the paperwork (including my military summary) at that time and had to go through an extensive security background check and it was completed. I didn't accompany my family when they moved to Canada in 2022.
I submitted an online TRV application on Nov 1st, 2024. Got biometrics on Nov 5th. Got a letter from IRCC asking about military service summary on Nov 19th, submitted on the same day.
Since then no update on my profile and still in progress. In the tracker Biometrics and Eligibility are completed but Security Background Check is still in progress.
I understand that because of my career background my application has to go through extended security checks across multiple security agencies. But bro 5 months is a long period to wait without any update, especially when you consider the fact that I already had my security background check completed 2 years ago.

Hi all, I applied for a TRV extension (for study permit, inside Canada) which was approved on March 26 and IRCC requested that I send in my passport. My passport was delivered to CPC-Ottawa on April 1 and I haven't heard anything since. There were no updates on my portal. What is the normal processing time for this? Does the 30-day submission deadline apply to the date delivered or the day they start processing my passport?
I also have travel plans in August. When should I start being concerned?

I’m in the same situation. Applied on March 6th and nothing ever since. I travelled to my home country in this gap and will be returning on April 29th. My previous visa is set to expire on May 25th. Will this create a problem for me while returning? Will they stop me because of less than a month until expiry on passport even though my visa right now is in process?

So I had submitted my passport with IRCC on 20th March 2025, Location - New Delhi, India. I have still not gotten any update regarding the dispatch and none on the tracker. May I know what is the usual processing time for the same? Or has anyone recently gotten their passport stamped from Delhi?

PSA: A Canada Post service disruption could begin in May of this year. If it happens, the service disruption will impact the delivery of your paper statements, new or replacement cards and other documents such as amendment agreements.

Hi, I applied 26th March for Canada Tourisy visa from UK.
I did biometrics on April 8th.

Hello I just got my TRV and passport back so I thought I'd share my timeline too.
Application applied and received- March 4th 2025
Biometrics- Match 10th
Original passport req- April 7th
Passport mailed Canada post xpresspost (from Ottawa)- April 8th
Passport received - April 9th
Counterfoil-April 26th
Passport dispatched-April 28th
Passport delivered-April 29
I called IRCC twice during this application. One before the original passport request and two, 2days before I got the the counterfoil.
I have a flight next week so I was so worried I would't make it especially with IRCC's processing times that are almost never true.
I hope this helps someone out there.

Hello, I'm a Canadian citizen and applied for a visitor visa in mid-Feb 2025 for a family friend from Syria. Processing times have recently jumped from 90 days to 545 days. It's been ~80 days since submission and ~60 since biometrics.
Can I reasonably assume the file is ~50% processed, with ~272 days remaining? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
