I was wondering, if the process is so long, should I apply for a tourist visa for my parents in the meantime? We've been rejected twice for a tourist visa, and once for a supervisa.
 
Hi - I will suggest you exercise a little patient -you are almost there - Just wait for the right timing .

It will take another longer time to get the Tourist Visa approved and may not worth the Hazzle
 
Praise the Lord for an update - Today Dec 12th received email that we have 30 days to submit biometric for both parents.
 
I'm unable to link my application to the the IRCC account. I have tried all options and have provided the accurate information for the primary applicant. Is there a phone number I call?

if you have both parents. under number of people, you need to enter 3. include yourself as well.

I wouldn't. We applied for tourist visa in May 2024 and still nothing. despite the processing time officially saying 50 days
 
Please can you share your time line please, I am waiting for their update.
