Hi,
I submitted Visitor Visa application for my parents on Aug 24th and they gave their Bio metrics on Sep 24th. I applied through the Old IRCC portal using GCkey,
No response or updates yet !

Should I re-apply through the new portal?
Anyone in the same situation?

Please let me know

the fact that most processing times are 625 days is stressing.
Honestly those times hardly matter.

I see Visitor visas getting approved in 3-4 days in some cases while cases are waiting for over 3 months on the new portal - which is way against the posted 14-30 days window.

Some Visa offices are processing decisions in as quick as 2 days. So it depends on the visa office handling your file + LUCK

I applied new application thru new portal on Nov 2021 so it’s seen when they withdraw old application probably they started looking at new one
Yea I think you should apply new application from new portal especially after thr sept announcement
