Super Visa 2021

[akheya]

To whom it may concern.

I finally got a reply from IRCC twitter for Super Visa applications submitted before September 7 2021

IRCC Twitter

this is very very helpful - I want my parents to come next month, but not sure what reasons are valid enough for them to expedite.

Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and looking to apply for my Mom's supervisa, could you please answer few question for me:

1) Could I apply for her SuperVisa while she is here with me in Canada on a visitor visa?
2) What do current timelines look like to getting a visa, is it a long wait ?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

1. No.
2. Depends where you live.

1)Supervisa needs to be applied from a country other than canada. when you check processing times for supervisa it asks for country from where you applied, it never gives canada as a option. Try that.
2)Supervisa is 46 days, i think visitor is 33 days

I was experimenting with the new IRCC portal. It considers Super Visa as a type of Visitor Visa. In the application there are specific options to choose Super Visa, Vistor Visa and family reunification.

The following are the available options in the IRCC portal.

I think that applications will be processed faster if the options in the above screenshot falls under the options listed in New applications post September 7. For me, choosing the following option automatically creates form for visitor visa.

• to be reunited with an immediate family member who is a Canadian citizen, a person registered under Canada’s Indian Act or a permanent resident of Canada

While choosing the following creates application for Super Visa.

• To visit my children or grandchildren for more than 6 months (super visa)

I might choose family reunification option (the first one) if I decide to resubmit application as that might expedite the process as it falls under the new rule change instructions.

My mom supervisa is finally approved but I'm quite shocked it is only valid for 5 years instead of 10 years! Her passport is expired in 2031 so I have no clues. Does anyone here know why they would not give 10 years?

Country is Hong Kong China by the way.

This is crap, first they said to apply using GCkey for super visa and now it seems like the new portal is the way to go?

Hi @swordenium, had seen your previous post about IRCC's reply in Twitter. The options in above screenshot confuse me because for SUPER VISA, it's always about reuniting PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS who are by default immediate family members.

My mother's application is in process for 350 days while current average processing time is around 212 days. I fear, if I apply for a new one, the new application will starts from 0 days and might be processed within next 212 days.

Also applications from BD are processed in Singapore and right now even EE applicants are in halt for getting COPR. So I will wait. Let's see. Please keep us updated on your new application. Best of luck.

I applied for a Supervisa for my parents on 5th Oct and received the biometrics letter today. However I only received it for my mother and not my father. Has that happened to anybody else also?

New portal or GC Key?
