I did upload it under "proof of relationship" personally yes. In my case I knew someone who was a notary, if I didn't I probably would have searched online for someone who offers that service.

I read: Your sister's application is still being reviewed, and she does not yet have an approved visitor visa (the "travel document").

@Rhea Jose - great news, congrats! Her experience at the border was super smooth and easy. I don't think she even had to show the return ticket (though she did have it booked). They asked why she was here, where was she staying, when she was leaving, where was she from. I think they looked at...

Anyway, for anyone finding this in the future, it was no issue and they never asked, in our case. ✌️

My girlfriend will be visiting me here, and I've moved (same city) since submitting/approval of the application (including statutory declaration for exemption). Will they care? I don't see an obvious place to update this online or instructions what to do anywhere. Thanks!

Hi Sharkha, thanks for your kind words -- unfortunately I haven't seen any of our own GCMS notes and I suppose the process and timeframe varies by office. I can't really give you any answer to your questions but I hope someone else can!

Hi, I missed your reply for some time, sorry about that. Again I can only speak from my experience and what I've read, but definitely do not put 6 months visit. Everything I read tells me the most important factor in approval is "is this a temporary visit" and "will this person leave Canada at...

Once you start an application, you have like 30 or 60 days to complete it, so you can upload as you complete things, or reupload too. And it provides you with a few checklists. I'm gonna send you a dm.

These are all good questions. But I think I lucked out on a few of them and to be honest some of them might not turn out to be too important. As far as I understand, the travel authorization is only good for 6 months from date of issue. So you wouldn't want to plan too far in advance. In our...

In this case, only the statutory declaration!

Nope, I submitted it all at once for the VV application. I attached the IMM0006 among all those documents (can't remember where exactly)

Sorry if this is a hurried response. Definitely it involved the visitor visa application along with the statutory declaration IMM0006. The "exemption" is an exemption from the Covid travel restrictions, not from the visa process. This is all detailed on the government site...

I'm sure her job played a significant factor. But I might also note she is in her country of residence on a work permit and comes from a country marked by civil war and high unemployment.

Thanks for your kind wishes! I was amazed how fast the response came when applying under this extended family exemption, and honestly wish I done it sooner. I hope it also works out well for you. The supporting evidence was mostly just what was requested, maybe even slightly less in our case. -...

Well, upon receiving news of my partner's visitor visa approval, I asked the questions above and then read all the stories I could find here of those who were denied entry at the border (that is my worst fear, and I heard many others say similar). I'm writing this for my own benefit of getting...

Yes I read this as she would be exempt from arrival testing and mandatory hotel stay, but still subject to 14 day isolation and testing at day 10. But I'm just some guy on a forum...

I am still in shock, my girlfriend in a large Asian country that begins with C (working there, not her home country) received authorization for exemption for a visitor visa, based on extended family (committed relationship). I'm a Cdn citizen by birth. I never imagined this would be approved...
