My father entered Canada on Visitor Visa on July 18, 2021. His Supervisa application which was submitted in Feb 2021 is still in process but he could not complete Biometrics as VFS were closed.

What should be next step to request further processing of pending supervisa application now that he is in Canada on Visitor Visa. The Biometrics letter is expired.

He needs to complete biometrics. This cannot be done within Canada to the best of my knowledge. It can only be done at a point of entry (i.e. when entering Canada through immigration at the airport or through a land border crossing).

I live very close to the US border (<4 kms) and Port of Entry....Can I take the expired letter there and request biometrics...any idea ?
He has US Visitor visa but US Land border is closed for non essential travel.

Hello,
Actually I submitted my mom’s supevisa application today and the invitation letter I submitted isn’t signed. Will this create any issue?
Please respond so I can correct this.

his forum has helped me a lot throughout this journey so here is my post to help in return.

Details:

1. My father had a visitor visa that expires in Aug 10 2021
2. I applied for Supervisa in Feb 2021 when he was in India, however, due to Biometrics suspension, the case basically went on hold.
3. On July 18 2021, he reached Canada using his existing Visitor visa instead of waiting for Supervisa given IRCC had a huge backlog. He successfully landed in Canada with few days left for visitor visa expiry. Keep in mind, even if the Visa expires - the entry is granted for 6 months (unless otherwise told or stamped on passport) - Read

4. July 29, 2021 - My father was able to complete biometrics within Canada at one of the Designated Service Canada offices

7. August 20, 2021 - Using Webform, I explained and attached a cover letter explaining IRCC about submission of Biometrics/Medicals within Canada. I further explained about my father's US Travel history and how he should be granted Supervisa within Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds
8. August 30, 2021 - PPR: Passport Request and the same day we sent passport to CPC Ottawa
9. Unfortunately, my father had a brain stroke and could not live to see his Supervisa
