TRV From Inside Canada - Normal Processing Time Has Passed

[Usama Chaudary]

I applied Visitor Visa from inside Canada online on March 24. At that time the processing time from cic website was 7 days. It is now April 25 almost 30 business days has passed and the cic website shows that they are now processing application received on April 12. But my application status is still the same as what it was on the day I applied (application submitted successfully). No passport request, no final decision made yet, no further request or updates.

Is there going to be any problem with it? I am super worried now. I have been in Canada as international student and worker for years. I always extend my permits and apply visas myself and had no problem before. The only thing different this time is that I applied PR last year and the PR application is now in progress. I have valid work permit and study permit though.

Anyway, does anyone have the same experience when applying visitor visa online? Does it mean that my application will be refused?
Thank you.

no worries, processing times are only estimates not commitments

you can raise a CSE to ask about your application

TRV usually comes back very fast. I got my application approved and passport request letter sent to me within 24 hours. I was really shocked by how fast it went but then again I'm not complaining.

hi folks,
I need to renew TRV for my 10-year old daughter who got her Visitor Record/Temporary Resident Permit valid till 29 Jan 2019. I am in Post Graduate Open Work Permit, waiting for PR.

After answering questions in my CIC account, it kept generating application to extend stay (IMM 5708); I know we need IMM 5257 for TRV.

Anyone can tell if I made mistake somewhere or online TRV from INSIDE canada is no longer an option.

Your instruction/sharing are greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, any update on your application? I applied on April 12th and the website said 7 days when I applied, still no response at all.

Hi there, I have a question, if you are already inside Canada, why do you still need to apply for a visitor's visa?

Visa can expire before work permit does, and you need a visa to return to Canada if you go out for vacation or something.

Hi Sneha,

I’m in the same boat. Please tell me if you receive any thing so far. I’m very worried. I have already booked my tickets. Any info will be helpful

I am on the same boat. I applied on 16th September, it says that they are processing requests from 17th september.
Avg processing time is 5 days.
I dont know what to do. Customer care never picks up, it is literally the worst customer service i have ever seen in my life.
Do you think i ahould wait or withdraw? I have booked my tickets for 9 nov

I’m really out of mind. I just wish that it should be before the flight dates. All we can do is wait
