Congratulations! How much fund was shown for the trip and how long was the stay shown? V
Very lucky since Saudia Arabia processing time now shows 700 days!

I used the new portal for visa application. I have shown bank statement estimating CAD 32k for 3 weeks trip

Yes the processing time is over 700 days from Saudi Arabia as per the IRCC website. However, there was a suggested on this forum to apply for Visit Visa thru new portal for quick processing time.

Whats your status. @kittenlover

I want to apply for visitor visa for my mother. My father works in law enforcement and does not want to apply for the visa. So if I want to apply only for my mother, what are the documents that i will need to submit. She does not have any funds or property in her name. Can i show the funds and properties in that are under my fathers name. Any suggestions or recommendations please. Thank you.

I am an open work permit holder employed in Canada.

Hi All, we submitted the Visitor VISA application for my mother on Feb 16, but still there is no update on the file. The Progress bar still not showing any estimated timeline. It that usual?

I applied from the new portal. Not sure what diff it makes from applying via GC Portal. Also, there is a belief that Super visa approval is more guaranteed than visitor visa approval.

Can you let me know what is this new portal link? We applied through IRCC.CA. Was it a bad choice?
