Hello,
I am a Canadian Citizen while my wife is PR. In October 2020, I submitted application for Visitor's Visa for my Mother In-Law to come help us out for few months as we are expecting our new baby. In October 5th she had her Biometrics already done in Lagos Nigeria.
As at when her application was submitted, the processing time on CIC website then was about 248 days if applying from Nigeria. From then till now, she has not been issued visa. On her online account with CIC, it's been showing application is in process in the past 4 months.
Please can anyone in this forum advise me on what to do to expedite action for her to get her visa ASAP. We really need her support immediately as this is our first baby. And we’re both stressed already coupled with the COVID-19. Some body advised me to flag her application as meeting travel exemption. Please how can I do that? I just have no idea on how can do that.


Secondly, Are mother In-Laws, siblings also classified as IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS?
Thanks for all the help.

Since your wife is a PR, your mother in law is considered as an immediate family member, while siblings are extended family members.

To expedite processing of a submitted TRV application, IRCC suggests to fill in the below form.

Yes, that's correct. Add documents like certificate of birth to prove relation, pr card, passports, tickets, etc.

In the place to enter text they want the following:
Include information such as

• a detailed reason of how you meet a travel exemption to come to Canada
• your passport number
• the dates you plan to travel
• where you live now (current country of residence)

If you’ve already booked your travel, provide your travel itinerary, including your

• flight number
• departure time and location
• arrival time and location

They say not to book tickets before the visa is issued. So it is not necessary.

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has provided a written authorization to IRCC regarding admissibility of a sibling. How long did the process take and what are the chances of it being approved?

Any information regarding the above topic would be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I have been trying to log into my CIC account to check my application update, but to no avail.
Has any of you been able to log into CIC account today? Are they upgrading their system? Tried calling them but to no avail.

 

[jeenu123]

I sent one on April 20, then another one on May 11. they dont reply at all do they‍♀. I dont know, i probably will contact my MP if he can help.

Right. They do not reply now. I sent exemption webform on June 15 as an immediate member of PR. No reply till today. But they replied to my previous email request for authorization last year on Nov 29 & this year on may 07.

 

[PrasadRks]

Did anyone get a response from the IRCC after submitting webform to prioritize the application? Or is there any other way to prioritize the application?
