If you are applying for yourself without using any family/friend invitations, sole purpose is for tourism then GCKey is where you need to apply. The new portal is for applicants with certain criteria like, joining family, visiting friend, business purpose etc. (see image below) wherein someone/family with a PR or citizenship is inviting you.

Thanks for the info. I have applied to Attend an exhibition which is rescheduled in November due to late visa processing. so is it wise to re-apply again in the new portal as its been more than 180 days since the previous application?
 
Hello,

For the visitor visa,

Any idea how much time it takes in "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.". ?

Eligibility review started since 2 weeks but no further updates.
I need my parents in canada ASAP due to some medical urgency.
I have not any idea how much time it takes in Eligibility review.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Medical is not required for visitor visa. Is IRCC send you letter of to provide a Medical.
 
Guys I need your opinion. Now myemployment contract is set to expire next year June and I was planning to visit Canada for a friend's graduation. I just realised that I had attached and submitted my employment contract as one of the supporting documents for my visa application. Now I'm wondering if this will affect my TRV. I'm afraid IRCC may feel that I don't have strong ties back in my home country.

Hi Friends,
If a person gets married while his visitor visa application is in progress, do we need to inform IRCC about the change. What documents would be required - in case of my acquaintance, they don’t have a marriage certificate and to add spouse name to passport, one would have to go for updating passport so their passport number would change. Please guide the best or recommended way forward in this case.

it's around 6 months they take. I applied 21 June so I need to more wait. Did you send any web form between your parents visa application.
