I am a Pakistani national living in Poland on TRC.

I submitted a business/visitor visa application on April 6, 2022. GCKEY is used.
I previously held visas to Canada from 2014 to 2018 and 2020–2022. I also possess a valid US B1/B2 visa (two times)
No updates have been made to my application since April 6. On April 7, 2022, I received a ghost update as well. I need your advice on whether I should apply to the new portal.
Could anyone please advise me on this?

IRCC says we shall not do that as this does not expedite the process. So I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I called immigration Canada and since I am the rep on the file they told me that the application was transferred to Warsaw. But getting information regarding the hold up seems impossible. Biometrics was completed in February.

Hey, can you share the number you have called them, I mean immigration office of Canada?

Hope this information helps someone avoid being worried. For people who might get curious - I am a dependant, but I was responsible for everything, so do not hesitate to ask any questions here, I would be glad to help

P.S. The same day we submitted our passports (November 29) we also logged in to our PR tracker account and submitted new police certificates since we had stayed in Tbilisi, Georgia for more than 6 months, so, please, keep that in mind that if you live in some country for 6+ months, IRCC might request new police certificates and it can result in possible further delays in the process.

I want to ask the seniors a question.
I submitted a TRV application in April 2022. Due to backlog and delays in visa processing, the exhibition I wanted to visit Canada for was originally scheduled to take place in August 2022, but the dates were extended to November 2022. I sent the embassy numerous emails and posts on web forums during this time but received no response. After 11 months, I received an update on my application today, and the office requested a new invitation letter.
However, the dates for the show have passed, and a new exhibition will be held in June 2024.
What should I write to the office in this circumstance? Moreover, what would happen if no invitation letter was submitted?
Just to be clear, this was my third attempt at obtaining a Canadian business visa; my first two attempts were successful. I also have a valid USA B1/B2 visa that was granted twice.

I greatly value and look forward to your professional advice.

Anyone recently got TRV through Warsaw?
I applied for TRV in Nov. 2022 but still no any response. PA is an Uzbekistan passport holder. IRCC timeline shows 91 days but it has been more than 6 months. I called IRCC and they said my application in Warsaw. I don't know which timeline I should check but if there is someone who recently got Visa through Warsaw, it would be great help for me.
Thanks.
