Visitor Visa (from India - outside of Canada) applicants of October or November 2020
- Thread starter sb0821
- Start date
Dont use family visit it might delay your application, rather use other options and select Covid in that..it will expedite your application
Hi
I applied for my parents visitor visa in Nov 20. They have faced 2 rejections in 2019 so we waited for almost 1.5 years to reapply. Their biometrics are already done in 2019. I haven't received any update on visa application till today. Anybody in same situation? Or anybody who can help me over here on how to get an update ?should I send an email on exemptions email address or fill the webform given or just wait rather? I was blessed with baby in April 2020 but due to Covid couldn't invite anyone that time but really want to have them here now as it's been 2 years not seen them. Thanks

Email them on that exemption email to prioritize application if you are PR or citizen. You get an update in 2 weeks.
Hello Everyone, I am pregnant and my due date is may 26, 2021. I have applied visitor visa of my mother from Nepal on december, I have not got any update yet, I really need help. I am a permanent residence. So i heard if i go through phac my application will be priotrize. I dont know how it works and how to apply to phac.

Can anyone please make me clear about the process completely step by step, I will have to apply as soon as possible. I really need help from you guys. Thank you so much.

Untill somebody give you full details, you can read previous posts of this thread. You will find you answer for sure.
Hi, You have few options
1) Try to send an email to them asking to prioritize
But without valid reason we cannot tell them to prioritize the application. I have send them an email last month and got a reply after one week. So they used to check the emails, but i think they will reply only for valid reasons
2) PHAC route - this requires doctors note. not sure how you can show medical reasons since the baby came already last year
3) Keep waiting - You can keep waiting till you get a response. Due to Covid they are mainly approving urgent cases first. If there is no urgency it may get delayed.
I think there is nothing wrong in sending them an email requesting for an update about the application.
Hi, you can try few options
1) Try sending them an email to prioritize. We cannot guarantee that they will reply but they used to reply within a week if the request is valid. You can attach the doctors note in request. I got a reply from them after one week (but I was having PHAC too)
2) PHAC route - the downside of this is that you will be mostly getting a one time visa instead of 10 year visa.

From the above URL you can get more details on this. You need to download the "Letter of required Support" form and doctor should fill it

Once its filled you need to upload it here

Thank you so much for the quick response, I still need to be clear on some points. can you please help.?
1. For sending them email to priotrize, i just need to send letter of support.? or do i need the phac approval letter as well.?
2.. After getting letter of support signed from my doctor, and to get approval from phac, i have to submit here https://border-frontiere.powerappsportals.com/en-US/.?
3.After submitting here , are they replying on their own, or do i have to contact them again.?
>> 1. For sending them email to priotrize, i just need to send letter of support.? or do i need the phac approval letter as well.?
if you dont have PHAC you can try just with " doctors note regarding due date". if you are getting the "letter of support for PHAC" too from doctor you need to upload that form for approval in https://border-frontiere.powerappsportals.com/en-US/ . PHAC will get approved only when you upload the "letter of support" to https://border-frontiere.powerappsportals.com/en-US/
>> 2.. After getting letter of support signed from my doctor, and to get approval from phac, i have to submit here https://border-frontiere.powerappsportals.com/en-US/.?
yes. that is correct.
>> 3.After submitting here , are they replying on their own, or do i have to contact them again.?
while applying for PHAC they will ask if you need a VISA. at that time you have to give the UCI number. Once PHAC is approved visa decision will come faster if you have given UCI number. Emailing them after PHAC approval is not required but there is nothing wrong in doing that. I did that in my case.
Which IRCC office (Delhi, Chandigarh, etc) did the passport reach and when did they start processing?
I did the shipment this week. Not sure its going to which office. it took time for VFS to give the payment link
