We actually applied last weekend for trv. So fingers crossing too! My thoughts on new trv? Well, it is more on hoping that with this new policy the visa officers will be more considerate in processing the proofs and documents of the file.
With the minister streamlining the faster, within 30 days, and highest percentage so far of approval rate for trv if you already have a current family class sponsorship so that families can reunite with their loved ones.
Like for example in the Philippines timeline for trv processing, when we applied last week it’s only 28 days but now it increased to 31 days. I do not blame them since with the new announcement, a lot of people with current family class application will be more let say brave to apply for that trv.
I understand only time will tell if this new announcement would be really enforced. Like if the likelihood of getting a pr visa is enevitable and with using new advance analytics(almost like AI) for this current policy of family reunification we will see if it will actually work for a lot of people. But of course the final decision still lies at the discretion of, guess who, visa officer.
There is a lot of volume of application for trv coming in IRCC’s way so we will see the 90 percent approval rate and the 98 percent approval rate for people with current application.
Im just hoping for the very best actually..
