Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[keji caroline]

Hello,

I submitted my parent's visit visa application last September 7, 2021. I used the new IRCC Portal. If anyone is on the same boat, let's share insights and updates.

September 7 - Application Submitted
September 10 - Biometrics done

No request for medical as of the moment. Intended to stay for less than 6 months, but hoping to travel this november 2021.

you need to include medical ,police clearance

We applied via the new portal, and purpose of visit was for my wife and I to meet her sister's family as they had not met since the pandemic. Duration 3-4 weeks.

good luck

so long as they demonstrated ties and explained Purpose and can show financial ground, should be ok.

If you got PFL, the decision can take as long as IRCC wants. PFLs are serious and require a thorough response. Post the PFL. Did you get a PFL and a ban?

Spouse is in India.
SOWP - if this means Open work permit, we are not interested in this and i believe approval for open work permit will take much longer anyway.. (please correct me if my understanding is wrong)

So your spouse just wants to visit for up to 6 months, and has no intention of coming to Canada to work. For TRV, she is showing strong ties to return (job, property to oversee etc.). Processing for TRV averages 5 months so within timelines.
