Canada Visit Visa from Lahore

Most Canada files we handle are family visits — a son or daughter who has settled there, a wedding, a grandchild. That brings its own question: an officer sees close family in Canada and weighs it on both sides, as a genuine reason to visit and as a reason someone might stay.

The answer is not to hide the relationship. It is to show the life you are returning to, clearly enough that staying would make no sense.

• The IRCC online application and the account that goes with it
• Biometrics appointment and what to expect on the day
• Financial evidence, yours and your sponsor's, presented so it reads as one story
• The invitation letter, and what it must contain to be any use
• A client's own explanation of ties — employment, business, property, dependants

We do not advertise a number. Biometrics sit in the middle of the process and the queue moves at its own pace; the published IRCC estimate for Pakistan changes month to month and is an average, not a commitment. Any date we promised would be fiction.

What we will tell you is the current estimate on the day you ask, and that you should start earlier than feels necessary.

Request the officer's notes. They say far more than the refusal letter, and they are the only reliable guide to what a second file has to fix. We have rebuilt files on those notes and we would rather see them than guess.
