To determine if your Canadian visa application has been approved, you can follow these steps
Check your email
After you submit your visa application, you should receive a confirmation email acknowledging that your application has been received. This email may also contain important information and instructions. Make sure to check your email regularly, including your spam folder, for updates.
Use the Online Tracking Tool (if applicable)
If you applied for a temporary resident visa, work permit, or study permit, you can use the online tracking tool provided by the Government of Canada to monitor the status of your application. To use this tool, you will need your unique client identifier (UCI) and application number, which can be found on the receipt you received when you applied.
Check your physical mail
In some cases, the Canadian immigration authorities may send you a letter or document by postal mail to inform you of the decision on your visa application. It’s important to regularly check your physical mailbox for any correspondence.
Contact the Visa Application Center (VAC)
If you applied through a Visa Application Center (VAC), you may be able to inquire about the status of your application through the VAC’s customer service. They can provide you with information if your visa application has been approved or denied.
Check your account on the IRCC website
If you have an account on the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website, you may receive updates there. Log in to your account and check for notifications or messages regarding the status of your application.
Consult an immigration consultant or lawyer
If you’re unsure about the status of your application or need more assistance, you can consult an immigration consultant or lawyer who can help you with the application process and provide guidance on tracking your application status.
Wait for the decision letter
In some cases, the official decision letter may take some time to arrive. Be patient and allow for processing time. If your application is approved, the letter will contain information on next steps, such as issuing a visa, port of entry (if applicable), and any conditions or requirements.
Please note that processing times may vary depending on the type of visa you applied for and the volume of applications being processed at the time. If you have concerns about the status of your application or if you receive a refusal, you may consider contacting the appropriate Canadian immigration authority or a legal expert for further assistance.
