No updates. I sent emails to ircc.covid-travelexemptions-exemptionsdevoyage-covid.ircc@cic.gc.ca -- I also sent a webform, and I got a reply that it is under process -- standard reply.
Same for me, I sent a webform and it says still under process. I applied for the TRV on 16 Dec 2020. Biometric Request Letter on 17 Dec 2020. Since she is in India not able to give biometrics. Now the deadline for biometrics is over and I have sent another request for a new letter. DO we need a new letter or the old one should be fine as VFS are still not accepting biometric for TRV in India. Thank you

A lot of people goto Dubai or Nepal to get the Biometric done, it seems ridiculous that Biometrics can be done in Nepal, but its closed in India. I don't think you need a new letter when Biometrics open up in India. The TRV is taking far too long though.

@one541 That is absolutely true. I am now getting my spousal PR documents ready and will submit that soon. Atleast for that we have biometric open in India. Can't wait for TRV as you said.

TRV Applied for my spouse from Kuwait
12th Oct
Biometrics Done 14th Oct
Since then nothing and my spousal application is in process too since 6months,
will it be added advantage or not.
spoke with IRCC Agent molly and she said everything seems to be fine and security checks are going on with both.
Yesterday got standard reply from ADIMMGRATION CA Stating everything seems to be fine however if we need anything will revert back to you it’s in process.
Ig they want to say no and there is rejection why are they taking 6 to 7 months just say no.
idk entire system it’s too shady and slow.
God bless all and they should expedite all the applications
Why dont you email them on given email address on this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html#existing

Hi I am also in the similar situation. I applied for my wife's TRV on Dec 16th 2020. But we could not give biometric yet and when we submit webform we get the same template reply. Could I apply with the required documents to the above mentioned email ID as my wife is eligible to come as a immediate family member. But since she has not given biometrics would they reject it. Kindly advise. Thank you.

I think they wont reject or approve it. As biometrics is the important step for application. You have 2 options
1. Done biometrics in dubai and email them to expedite
2. Wait for biometrics to start in india and then email them which i think not will happen soon. Rest is in your hand. But remember emailing them does not mean you will get only approval. I hope this help.

can you share your spouse's current situation status like employment, familty ites so someone can give you idea about chances of approval.

You read that wrong. There are two different context. That sentence is lil confusing. You Just email on that address with mentioned details. You can write "Covid-19 family reunification" as a subject.

can you suggest what to write under detail reason for travel?
1. is writing family reunification is good enough as the other main documents are already submitted originally with the online application.
2. does spouse needs to send the email or sponsor can also send the email.

I think email is only to tell them you are exempted from travel restriction so they can prioritize application. If you have already mention the details of travel then don't need to provide same details again. However, it up to you if you feel you can provide extra details. You can add quarantine plan if you want.
