Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[KKS123@]

Hello,
We have applied for my mother's Supervisa on February 17th 2022 on new portal.

We have got the medical request on 1st March 2022 but we have completed the medical upfront on 26 Feb 2022. Now, we have raised two webforms to update the medical as we have already completed medical but no reply from their side/update.

Anyone having same scenario or case. How to make sure that medical is done and completed and when will it get updated on portal?

Anyone?

It really doesn’t matter. It’s never too early.. in fact it’s good, if you get a refusal you’ll have time for notes, it’s rectification and reapplication

Kindly please clarify.
I am applying for my Parent's visa and am really confused about who should I choose primary applicant. My mother has a good travel history and has already been to Canada and US and never overstayed on the other hand my dad is financially supporting my mother but has one refusal from Canada. Who should be a suitable Primary applicant? also I am planning to write LOE, Do I have to write it from one person or can address it as "We"?

Any suggestion???

Hi, Did your parents underwent Medical test

 

[Shan121]

I am planning to apply visit visa for my parents and sister. Parents in early 50s, sister is in college .
Do I need to show medical insurance? I’ll apply for regular visit not super visa. I am a citizen

visit visa doesn’t require medical insurance…but its advisable to take when while you are actually travelling (not mandatory while applying for visa)because treatment is very costly without insurance

their bank balances, properties/home in their name etc can also be shown as strong ties…how old is your sister? does she have her own savings? if she is older than 22, she should put through separate application i believe (confirm this with other experienced members here)..you will have to be careful when putting through sister’s application, if she is unmarried(my guess) n doesn’t have a job& savings of her own, it will be considered only if application is strong (when shez travelling with parents n brother already in canada, her ties to home is very less)
