I APPLIED as a principal applicant for a Canadian visit/tourist visa along with my daughter and grandchildren in March 2015. Four months have passed and there is no feedback on the application status.

I have repeatedly contacted the tracking and Canadian immigration website via email but receive an automated reply.

I have repeatedly contacted the Canadian high commission but no one is listening.

The Canadian high commission has the right to grant or refuse a visa as it deems appropriate. However, four months for a visit visa is rather inappropriate.

I would, therefore, request the Canadian authorities to return our passports so we can avail our US visas.
