But it states that a non-discretionary reason is when you are coming to live with your spouse. So they may refuse if they think you are just coming for a few months and will then return. Still seems weird to me that family members would have to provide a reason other than being family members -...

That seems really weird though. You are an immediate family member of a temporary person living in Canada, it is one of the exempted categories, why would you need to provide any reason at all? I am not that well versed with the temporary resident's scenarios but from what I have read, it didn't...

I wasn't talking about the automated message. I was talking about requests for biometric exemptions or workarounds; they refer you to IRCC or they just send the same info that is available on the CIC website. But I just saw that you don't need a biometric exemption and are looking for just an...

The Delhi visa office cannot do much. Their replies are usually just a copy-paste of what is already mentioned on the CIC website.

On the CIC site, they just said that for immediate family of PRs, we need to let them know about the application so they can put it on priority (if someone has not already submitted the application, they ask for it to be indicated in the application by selecting travel reason as "Other" and...

I don't require an authorization letter, I need an exemption for the biometric. And honestly, I am in no immediate need to have my parents here, but they plan to be here in Summer and with the current processing times, I don't think waiting for biometrics to open in India is a feasible option as...

I am not sure what would happen if they provide an exemption to the biometric, if at all they do. As a backup, I booked an appointment for them at Nepal VFS. The biometric deadline is moot right now as they knows VFS centres are currently closed. It is indefinitely extended in a way for all...

From what I have gathered searching in this site, it seems like earlier this used to be sent 1-2 days after submitting the application, but lately a lot of people have not been getting it (approx from Dec applications). In the last 2-3 days however many of those applications have been getting...

Congratulations!! And best of luck for your Dad's appplication. Where did your parents get their biometrics done?

My mother and mother in laws visas were applied in late December and I sent an email to ircc.covid-travelexemptions-exemptionsdevoyage-covid.ircc@cic.gc.ca asking for biometric exemption just couple of days ago. Just now for my mother in law's visitor visa application, I got a new message on...

I sent an email to IRCC asking for biometric exemption couple of days ago (application was submitted in Dec), and just now for my mother in law's visitor visa application, I got a new message on my CIC account and it is a "Submission Confirmation message" and it says something like "This...

Hi all, quick question. I sent an email to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca The email included information about my Mother in law's visit visa and my mother's super visa (both my wife and I are PRs so our mothers are immediate family members). First question...

So, basically their response was that till the VFS centers open in India, they cannot do anything? Or did you ask them for an exemption to be made in VFS centres, so your parents' biometric appointment can be scheduled inspite of having a Visitor visa application?

I am a Permanent Resident and I have applied for a super visa for my mother and my wife (also a PR) has applied for a visit visa for her mother. Given that they are immediate family members of a PR, I don't need to send any additional emails anywhere for approval or to get their application...

Hi All, I have questions regarding two applications: 1) I applied for my mother in law's visitor visa. Given that she is an immediate family member, we won't require authorization letter from IRCC. However we received request for Biometrics submission and she is in India where all the...

I was referring to the link shared by Appar. However, as someone pointed out earlier, for FSW class, CPT can be considered. However, it needs to be for at least one full year as a full time employee.

The way you need to look at this is - You gained skill set, and you got paid for your services. That's a job. Unpaid internship as part of gaining credit for degree is not seen as a job, but this is. The fact that you needed to do this for credit doesn't discredit it from being a legitimate job...

I don't see this as an issue at all. I showed 8 years of work experience while I had 5-6 years more experience in other fields. CIC is only interested to know about the experience you have in the field for which you intent to pursue while in Canada (whether or not you actually do that is...

No I didn't. My wife contacted CIC on phone and they said her photos request is due as well, and they asked us to include a letter that informed them of her UCI number and the fact that she had a photo request as well but the letter/email was never received by us.

My previous company told me they will not give me a reference letter as it is not in their policy. I could not ask my current company for a letter as I could not tell them I am applying for PR. So, for my previous company I sent them a table which included all the information that CIC asked for...
