My parents filled out this form the way I have written above. Hope it helps. Please note: We opted for the courier service, and that's why we filled this 'Indirect submission' form. I don't know if you need to fill this out if you don't opt for it and send the passports on your own.
Super Visa 2021

IRCC portal vs. GCKey.
I don't understand why there are 2 ways to apply for the same visa. I, and a few other people that I know, applied through GCKey account for our parents' super visa. The process was smooth as butter and the visas were approved within the time limit (2-3 months). GCKey works fine.

I am on the same boat, recived BVL on Nov 23rd, almost same time line. Do you have any updates?
Thanks @angel1719 for your response 
. Do we need to upload anything in portal, once the biometric is done or just wait for it to get updated in the backend?

I applied for my parent back in April 2021 and they got the biometrics done in August 2021. But no update after that. I think one would have to re-apply from IRCC portal again because they were not vaccinated before Sep 7, but now they are.
Vaccination status doesn't affect the visa application. It's required when you travel.
But, yes if you are planning on reapplying, it is a good idea. Considering their biometric has already been done, you can reapply and get medicals done upfront. This might speed up the process.
Hi, did you apply behalf of your parents? what were the steps, can you please share
no updates yet. But I wrote to my local mp to help on getting the updates from IRCC. (thnx for the suggestion in this forum.)
The response from MP is 'The update is that Mrs. XXXXX application has been finalized. She may receive correspondence from IRCC this month. '
I enquired again to confirm what does finalized mean and response is that it's not 100% confirmed approved but very likely. Need to wait for official update.
Hi it's usually a long process to apply for super visa. Not practical to describe all the steps here. I'd suggest you watch youtube videos on how to apply. There are dozens of videos available. You'll get everything you need in those videos. If you have specific questions, then you may ask in this forum. I'd suggest you go through this forum. It's one of the best resources available out there.
P.S.:
Yes, you can create an account online on behalf of your parents. Most people do this. When you apply online, it doesn't matter what part of the world you are applying from. You gather all the documents and apply online.
For the super visa insurance, you will have to Google insurance companies. There are dozens of them. Or you may also contact one of the insurance agents for super visa insurance.
I just figured after reading through multiple threads that - we only need fill and sign on page 2 of consent form. Page 3 needs to be filled only if someone else on the applicant behalf is submitting/receiving the documents (Courier service doesn't count as applicant behalf). So Page 3 and 4 are not required to be filled.
