Parents visitor visa under compassionate reasons with PHAC approval
- Thread starter imdsumit
- Start date
Do you mean as a single group member ?
The visa fee I see is 100 each for both parents + CAD 170 for family Biometric. Is that what it should be ?
I was making the payment but the session expired and the transaction was cancelled.
Now, on the home screen I see the Visa application listed but with pending status and no option to make payment.
How can I make payment now ?
The 'Continue' links on list got enabled again after 3-4 hours. I was able to submit the application and the payment successfully.
@canuck78 I finally submitted the application yesterday!
Thanks for your help.
We have received the Biometric Instruction Letter today, but the time frame for biometric is only 30 days.
My parents had booked the Biometric date in advance few weeks back, but the latest date they got was 12th August. Is this 30 days limit still valid with these covid delays in India ?
Here is the message from letter:
You must visit a biometric collection service point to have your fingerprints scanned and
photograph taken on or before August 09, 2021.
If you do not comply, your application may be refused. If your application is refused, you will have to submit a new application and pay the
applicable fees.

Wouldn’t worry about it. They are aware of the waitlist for booking biometric appointments in India. What you received is just a standard reply. Even before waitlist due to the pandemic there wasn’t an issue if you missed the deadline by a short amount of time.
Hey sorry to bother you but is it possible to share a copy of your Letter of invitation as I am pregnant and want to call my mother here but need to write a letter of invitation and very much confused what to write. Thank you
Here is the letter I prepared and submitted. Its pretty basic and might not be best. Just use for reference, I prepared what I can in hurry.
