My mom has received a letter one week after medical was done, in Chandigarh, she will collect the letter on monday as she lives in Punjab. will let you know
I have a question regarding my parents' super visa. They applied to New Delhi VAC on July 18th 2014 i.e. today.
In the VISA application they have mentioned their date of coming to Canada as 15 Aug 2014.
The VAC representative checked all the documents and was happy that all are in place but she also told my parents that the supervisa processing time is 8 weeks and the date 15th Aug 2014 is not even 4 weeks away. She suggested my parents to write an email to delhi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca requesting the immigration/visa officer to grant visa before 15th Aug 2014.
It is me who actually helped my parents gather & and fill all documents/forms after taking help from forums on CanadaVisa.com and before applying i even checked for the processing time for TRV -Supervisa on www.cic.gc.ca which is just 9 days for New Delhi. Please refer http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/temp/visitors.asp#asia
But she also accepted the VISA application.
Please let me know:
1. Should my parents actually write email as suggested by the VAC representative?
2. If they write or do not write email, in such circumstances can the VISA officer reject/refuse the VISA or he will grant the visa for a later date (provided all other conditions are met)?
Do not worry about what the VAC people say. They do a good job by checking the application forms and check list and things.
I recently applied for my parents and they received their passports today.
Their timeline:
They did pre-medicals on 23-Jun-2014
June 30 2014 - Applied visa in VAC Chennai.
July 16 2014 - Online status was updated as Passport dispatched
July 19 2014 - Passport received by parents at home as we requested courier service and not pick up from VAC.
They got the visa stamped for 10 years.
So do not email Delhi office unless you have passed 15 days.
Processing time differs for each case but wait till you pass 2 weeks and then shoot an email.
If your papers are good then you don't have to worry.
