There's no reason not to contact them. If they don't make a decision in a week or two, my whole application will be worthless. If people pressured the government as much as they tell us, who are helpless, to be patient, maybe things would be moving faster. I'm not waiting in line for a...

I have. Never any replies. Do you really think he cares?

Responses like these are infuriating. Are you a CIC employee? Nothing has moved in 6 months. Almost everyone is back to work except CIC and they don't even have a dangerous job. Please stop telling others to be patient. I'm guessing you're not facing 6-12 months without your closest family. CIC...

I applied June 20 for a TRV. It's July 5th and they still have not even begun to review it. Is this normal? I see others getting theirs processed and/or refused within 1-2 days sometimes. Obviously I don't want a refusal, but why are they not even beginning to review mine? When I applied it said...

With the recent June 8th announcement (https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/news/2020/06/changes-to-travel-restrictions-for-immediate-family-members-of-canadian-citizens-and-permanent-residents.html), I think you should be fine. Since your spouse is American, there is no need for...

I applied for a TRV for my wife on June 20. Still zero updates. Frustrating.

My wife applied for a TRV from the USA on June 20th [her citizenship is Brazil]. No update at all on her TRV. Going to send the webform today because it is past their normal processing time for the US. I don't understand their reasons for rejecting some people and not others. Is it GOOD for...

What does that mean exactly?

First of all, if today is June 30 and they say current processing time is 10 days, then that should mean they are currently processing applications on June 20 or sooner. Otherwise their processing time metric is useless. So if you are past that processing time (i.e. applied June 15), you are...

Unbelievable that they are this slow returning. They aren't even public facing. Pretty much everything else has already opened to some degree but immigration, which to some is as essential a government function as you can imagine, is opening last. Maybe this should make them consider going to...

We applied for a TRV for my wife on June 20. All online. Have a GCKey and everything. The status has not changed: "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." My wife is Brazilian but living in the US. The...

This is what I am doing now. I'm in the US but wife is Brazilian. Some biometrics places have recently opened up here. I don't know about India.

Hi, my situation is a bit unique so I was not able to find an answer in other threads. Apologies if I'm duplicating anything. I'm a Canadian in the US with my wife who is Brazilian but we are moving to Canada. She has a US visa but it expires at the end of July. I applied in March for...

Whether a call centre rep is working from home doesn't say much about whether there's people opening and processing our applications. Until this happens and biometrics places open, most of us are still screwed.

Wow, how did they know he had done that travel? Of course if he flew they would know, but how would they know what address to check? I am just frustrated by the quarantine because I live outside of Canada in an area hardly affected by COVID and wanted to visit to make arrangements for a...

But Montrealer flying to Winnipeg has no quarantine? The assumption that foreigners no matter where they're from are higher risk than domestic travelers is ridiculous.

Has anyone arrived to Canada and been asked about their "quarantine plan"? The assumption that all foreigners are high risk spreaders is dumb, since if you were to fly to Winnipeg from Minnesota, you'd be less of a health risk than someone flying to Winnipeg from Toronto or Montreal (both COVID...

I think the magic words to use are "family reunification", as others have stated.

I was on the March outland application sheet and also just see Indian applications on it now. What gives? Can it be restored accurately? I have not heard ANYTHING back on my application sent in March. It's absolutely ridiculous they are not making progress. It's just paperwork and it's clearly...

Thank you canuck_in_UK. Does anyone know the email address and/or 'name' of who sends the email? Just want to make sure it doesn't split through to spam. Thanks again.
