Hello! I saw a few individuals report an application status change after the site maintenance activity. Wanted to chime in and say that my mother's application also had the same "ghost" update. Nothing has changed on the application; it was just the status that reflected a change and then upon...

Hi there! I have similar timelines as you for my mom's TRV. We applied on Aug 20, 2021, and completed biometrics on Sep 14, 2021. I had raised a webform asking IRCC to clarify the new guidelines. I heard back from New Delhi VO and they told me that I should reapply only if my situation has...

Oh perfect, thanks so much!

Thanks for sharing your updates. :) Can you confirm which webform you submitted twice? I have already submitted the crisis webform once and still waiting for the 14 days timeframe to be over.

Hi there! Can you share the visa office you applied through?

Hi there! Can you share which visa office you applied through? And what is AOR for biometrics? Do they send that to everyone who has applied for TRV or is it for spousal applications only? My timelines are similar to yours. Just that we did the biometrics on Sep 14, so a week after you. I was...

Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi there! I am in a similar situation. Can you share what was the reply you received from IRCC upon submission of priority web form?

Congrats! A few questions for you: In your first application, did you mention 'Purpose of travel' as 'Other - COVID-19'? Did you also submit a separate Webform for travel exemption? When did you provide biometrics? Did you submit new application using GC Key account or the new portal account?

Thank you so much for confirming! :) Appreciate it.

Thank you! I did see this update. However, I'm confused about the part that says "you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption". By "already told us" what do they mean? "Told us" how? Is this about selecting the purpose of travel as "Other - COVID-19" in the main application...

Hey @destiny2016! Our applications are similar. I initially submitted my mom's TRV application on Aug 20 and have the biometrics scheduled for Sep 14. Given the new announcement this week to resubmit applications (for those who submitted prior to Sep 7), are you planning on doing that?

Question for those who have submitted visitor visa applications and provided biometrics: Typically, how long did it take for your biometrics to reflect on your online account? Please mention VFS location if/when you reply to this.

Originally, THIS was the link where instructions were provided regarding filling "Other" and "COVID-19" as Purpose of Travel on the main application form. However, with the September 7 update, those instructions are no longer available online (I tried searching on the CIC site but couldn't...

I have the same questions - it would be helpful if anyone shares their personal experience. Additionally, I am stuck in a unique situation because I've submitted my mom's TRV application but we haven't provided biometrics yet. The biometrics appointment is early next week. To everyone here: Any...

Hi folks! I wanted to request a few minutes of your time to read through this message. My name is Nerissa and some of you might know me (virtually) from the blog post that I published a while ago - https://newgirlincanada.wordpress.com/2018/03/17/a-z-of-first-landing-in-canada/. I am...

I applied online for multiple entry TRV on 14 Apr 2014 and today I received a request to submit my passport at VFS for stamping. So, I guess it is possible. As far as I've heard, in-person applications submitted in Bombay VFS are processed in about 3 days and people do end-up getting the visa...

Hey! Hi there! I just happened to read your post and had a query. You mentioned your application reached CIO on 17th Aug and that you've received an email from CIO. Was this email from CIO in reply to your inquiry? Or did they voluntarily send across an email to you? My application reached CIO...

Oh Ok! So basically you got an email from CIO after you sent an inquiry. I wanted to know if they're proactively sending out any emails before mailing out your entire kit to you, back.
