July 2022 Visitor Visa Applications

[faisalmughal]

Hello, I have applied for Temporary Resident Visa(TRV) through GCKey and I have yet to receive any update. Note that I have a valid B1/B2 US Visa and I have used it to visit USA.

Application submission date: 09 July 2022
Biometrics Completed: 22 July 2022
Point of origin: UAE
Review of eligibility: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements
Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information

Is this normal or at least the review of eligibility should have started by now?

May i know when review of eligibility started? Regards

I'm not sure, maybe one or two weeks ago. How long does it usually take to complete the review of eligibility?

In my opinion

I'm not sure, maybe one or two weeks ago. How long does it usually take to complete the review of eligibility?

As understood after analysing the moderate data on this forum, sometimes background & review of eligibility starts almost together, in this case it will take 3 to 4 months approximately as per current processing trends. However, sometimes review of eligibility starts after 2 or 3 months of background processing then it should be around few weeks, may be 2 to 4 weeks. This is based on my understanding which may be wrong. Regards

IRCC doesn't care that you had a reunion. Your application will continue to be processed.

Hello Naturgrl

I absolutely agree that IRCC has no correlation with anyone's circumstances. Can I however seek your opinion on whether I had done a mistake in applying on GC Key for a reunion with my brother in Canada. I have seen many people get processed in less than 15 days while I m still waiting for my July22 application to be processed/ opened.

Should I have applied in IRCC portal?
Should I switch from GC Key to IRCC portal?
What will be the procedure for me to withdraw gc Key application and use IRCC portal instead. Thank you.

How many people are getting processed within 15 days? They may be eligible for CAN+ processing. Where is he applying from because you have only been waiting 2 months. I honestly don’t think changing portals will make a difference. Your brother hasn’t been waiting that long.

I have seen tons getting approved in a group chat within 15 days.

Brother applied from India and the processing times are 136 days but our uncle got approved in under 14 days.

Has your uncle been to Canada or the US? Your brother is within the current processing times so don’t understand why you would start again, but his choice.

I once again thank you for your reply. The uncle wasn't eligible for can plus.. however was this a mistake on my part to apply through GC Key?

Thank you again

Ok if your brother made a mistake then reapply. Your uncle may have a strong profile - travel history, his own funds, strong ties to home country - so approved more quickly.

I think I didn't explain well. I was asking whether

Was it a mistake to apply through GC Key instead of IRCC portal?

Is there any procedure to withdraw GC Key application.


Thank you so much

You will read both sides of whether to apply through one or the other. I don’t know why you would withdraw when he is within processing times. But it is your choice. Send a webform and withdraw application and resubmit. Remember it takes weeks to process webform requests so he may have two applications at once.

Don't withdraw/cancel anything. There are processing times mentioned. If you still have not crossed the processing time, then why to interfere and get in the que all over again. On another note, I heard of other people who applied another application through new portal and go their money refunded for the previous one.

But then again, you will come across 100 stories out here on various threads!

I have applied from UAE, I'm not sure exactly when the eligibility review started to be honest.

 

[Satz26]

I submitted on 5th July. Let's stay in touch. What type of application have you filed and your Visa Office?

Hi Ysiraj, any update now for your Visitor Visa application ?
