Hi ALL,
The new update is so much confusing. I applied visitor visa for my sister on August 7th 2021. She doesn't require biometric. I submitted form 0006, "Application for authorization and statutory declaration" with her application.
I received the following information letter on August 27th:
Subject: Request for an Authorization for Exemption from Canadian Travel Restrictions for the Purpose of Family Reunification
We have received your enquiry and can confirm that a review of your application remains in process. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be in touch with you when a final decision is made or if more information is required. To obtain more information, please fill out the IRCC Web form in order for it to be sent to the responsible Canadian visa office directly.
Due to the ongoing situation, IRCC offices are experiencing processing delays. Rest assured that they are making all the necessary efforts to process requests as soon as possible; however, having to respond to status updates on applications will affect the processing times
The new update says "If you applied before September 7, 2021, and you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption, You do not need to submit a new application or write to us again."
I wonder what the above RED part of the new update means. In my sister's case, does submitting Form 0006 mean that my sister already told
them that she qualify for a COVID-19 exemption?
Thanks
