Hello all, Does anyone got PPR for kids TRV applied in Nov2021/post that?
Is anyone still waiting?
IRCC should have the option of filtering the kids application and processing them at the earliest.
Kids won't be traveling alone for some tourism they are dependents and would be accompanying their parents with active PR/WP.
Hope IRCC will understand that parents with approved PR/WP can travel only when their kids TRV is getting approved. Till then most of the parents won't be able to travel without their kids and join their jobs and Canada government would also be losing the tax and revenue.
Hope someone from IRCC will look into all these threads and process the pending kids applications.

Most apply well in advance knowing they will be moving or have their children in Canada. Not sure why children of PRs would be given preferential treatment. Many have one spouse GP ahead of necessary. There would be arguments that every group should get preferential treatment. One could argue that spouses with WPs should get preferential processing because they are likely to provide more economic benefit than children. Only people who are given preferential treatment are emergency situation like medical emergencies, funerals, etc. Like everyone else you’ll need to wait and hope that children get TRVs because they aren’t guaranteed.

I agree with you.. There should not preferential treatment of any applications. But I see in some forum that parents TRV got approved which was applied in Dec and Jan22. Not sure why and how kids TRV applied before Dec is not processed.. Anyways hope IRCC will process the kids TRV too along with all other applications and clear the backlogs, without any preferential treatment apart from emergency conditions.

Looks like there's a technical glitch in IRCC processing, where the kids (minor) TRV Visitor files are not getting picked up for processing. I know many parents are waiting for their kidsTRV approval for a long time.
Mainly gckey applicants are not getting any results. Not sure whether webform enquiry is of any use.
How to bring this issue to IRCC notice?

We are in a similar situation as yours both me and my prtner and PRs and applied for our infant daughters TRV on 17th Feb 2022 since we are moving back to Canada in Aug 2022. No movement in the application despite Singapore visa office showing a 32 days processing time. IRCC's webform responses havent been particularly useful either and at this point I am worried if the application will be processed by August.

I can confirm I have the same issue. My family of 4 are PRs, residing in Singapore. I applied for my fifth baby's TRV using the GCKey portal (my personal account) stating all the reasons for travel etc (we are moving permanently there in June). I applied on Feb 20, 2022, but still waiting. Sending an inquiry using website form did not result in anything (just keep waiting, we will let you know if we need anything). Our flight is on the 4th of June 2022, does anyone have any suggestions? Or am I panicking too early?
