Applied in Jan 2022, received request to submit passports for parents in India. Any idea how much time it takes to get passport back after submission?

Yes they had another application since last year wich has been withdrawn so they already had biometrics done. Automatically showed biometric passed in this new application

Hi.. Did you apply the visitor visa for your parents as a representative on their behalf or they filed themselves ?

Wont do that for now as it might be expensive if ever u need to change the travel date afterward. I think they will send a tracking number on its way back...then u may book your ticket

NOTE:
this was the first application in Jan 2022, since then my father came to the US as a visitor and we sent a new application because it was 2 months over the normal processing time In India. Here is the status for that: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...m-usa-june-2022-timeline.771161/post-10131805

We have also surpassed the normal processing times in US as well.

He has held visitor Visa before and travelled to Canada. This is a renewal.
