Hello All,

I am looking for much needed advice on below query

I am planning to apply for visitor visa application for my brother from India. There are two portal which gives us the option to apply for visitor visa .

Old Gckey portal :-

Advantages :-
More option to upload all the supporting documents
Larger file upload size limit ( 4mb )
I have read somewhere in this forum that visa application success rate is higher.

Disadvantage
Read somewhere that processing time is unlimited . People waited for 7 months to get initial response which is not seen if they apply from new IRCC portal.

New IRCC portal

Advantages :-
Read somewhere that processing time is faster
Filling of the application is faster

Disadvantages
Not have option to upload all the document as there are less fields and file upload size is 2 mb . This not enough to upload all the supporting document
It is based on Artificial intelligence so , visa decision is based more on software rather than human.

Please suggest which one I use.

No valid proof on success rates
Both portals are good and you could use either

If I were you, I would go with GC Key

Good Luck
