I am a PR here and want to apply a visa here for my parents. I am confused between visitor visa and super visa as I am not sure when they will come to Canada and don't want to pay for health insurance yet which is required for super visa.
Single applicant (Ontario)
Applied on September 18, 2026
Passport request received on September 29, 2026
Mailed the passport on October 1, 2026 using Canada Post
Passport with counterfoil delivered back on October 9, 2026
Exactly 3 weeks
TRV is valid until 2032 (same validity with passport, not work permit)
Hope this helps
Hi everyone,
For those who have applied for a Canadian visitor visa recently, have you noticed any improvement in approval rates or positive decisions?
I’m especially interested in applications submitted in the last few months. Are more people getting approved compared with last year, or are refusals still very common?
If you were approved recently, please share:
Your country
When you applied
How long processing took
Whether it was your first application or a reapplication after refusal
Thanks for sharing your experience.
