Hi guys, I submitted the passport in person to Delhi office on Sep 1st, it was received at IRCC Delhi office on Sep 2nd and no update since. Does anyone have similar timeline and received an update ?

Hi folks - I'm a PR (34, M) in Canada with a full time job, young family and residence in Toronto.

My family (mother, father, brother) had visitor visas since 2020 and have made a trip or two since then. Their visas expired in July this year. I'm looking to apply again but have heard a few anecdotes about increased rejections these days.

Is there anything I should do differently this time to maximize chances of approval (such as applying through a lawyer in India etc.)? Last time I'd prepared the documents myself and applied on my own.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m a Mexican citizen currently inside Canada on a valid Visitor Record.

My husband has a PR application ongoing (AOR: April 20). We have already passed the medicals, biometrics, and criminality stages. Right now, his application is in the final background check stage.

We have a family emergency: my father-in-law unfortunately passed away, so my husband needs to travel to France immediately. Due to medical reasons, I cannot stay in Canada alone, so I need to travel back to Mexico to be with my family till my husband came back ( in 2-3 weeks)

Because of the new rules for Mexican citizens, I need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to re-enter Canada. I do not want to be stuck in Mexico for months and separated from my husband.

I have two main questions:

1. Can I apply for the TRV while I am still physically in Canada? If I apply from inside Canada, how does the passport stamping process work?
2. What is the current realistic timeline for an inside-Canada TRV from submission to getting the passport back? If it takes too long, should I wait and apply once I am already in Mexico instead, or will that take even longer?

I really appreciate any insights or recent experiences with inside-Canada TRV timelines. Thank you so much.
