Can my father show support for my brother's family cos they all live in one house and also support for his visit to Canada by showing my father bank statements and everything?
No. Your brother is a married man with a wife and child. He is not a dependant (under 22). It would raise red flags that your brother really cannot afford a visit. Your brother’s issue as one applicant was not funds. It was not showing that he is financially established in his business. He could not prove income on his return. Showing business registration was not enough of a tie to return. They may get approved if they apply as a couple without bringing their child. Can say parents will look after him. This shows valid reasons to return but still may not be enough.

Hi, My parents have applied for visitor visas from India using the new IRCC portal, with my dad as the main applicant. My mom's visa got approved on 21st August, but my dad's application is still showing the latest update as biometric updated and background check in progress. They submitted the application as a group. Do you have any suggestions or advice on this matter?

My parents applied for a tourist visa and their biometrics and eligibility are complete as of Sept 04. The background check says in process.
Does it take about a month for them to get back to us now??

Applicant in India, and also has PR application without AOR..

but i have a discussion to make.....

I want to discuss an issue, I applied for TRV for spousal visit, and got a rejection right on 30th day.

I am not concerned about the refusal as much as I am about that I strongly believe that there was no human touch on the application at all (since recent news that IRCC some advanced data analytic, but says that final decision is always deliver by an officer.

I have certain points to neglect the claim IRCC makes about not issuing approvals on solely Advance analytics tools.

  • Application submitted on Aug 10
  • Biometric of wrong persons connected to my application on Aug 12
  • From August 12 to September 6
  • I sent some enquiries and calls, telling them the biometrics belongs to someone else
  • IRCC confirmed that is an error on their site and made notes to my application.
  • About 7 “enquiries received” updated on tracker, based on the forms I sent and couple of calls I made to IRCC
The fun part is I got refusal on September 9

  • Reasons are pretty common
  • Significant family ties
  • Stay not consistent with application details.


But with the refusal letter, we also got a BIOMETRIS VALIDATION LETTER,

  • Which is the same letter, I complained about to IRCC that it is not my biometrics
  • I have never given any, please correct it and send me a letter again, so I can do my biometrics.


I don’t know, how could the officer never see that there were so many notes on the application about wrong information connected to the file, yet stil I was given the BVL, which Is not initially mine.
THIS MAKES ME THINK THAT, THIS WAS SYSTEM GENERATED REFUSAL AND NO OFFICER EVEN TOUCHED MY APPLICATION, WHICH IS SAD
If you could guys provide any insight of what you think?



I could be wrong…

Hey everyone - I applied for my mother's visitor visa in August. My mother's USA visitor visa also got approved and stamped in August. But at that time - her passport was not stamped yet.

Now we got the US Visa stamped on her passport. Do you think I should inform this to IRCC via webform? I heard about Can+ program and having a US visitor visa makes process much simpler.

Need your suggestions please.

I applied for a Spousal TRV on June 5. Previously I had a Canadian TRV, and it was expired at the end of 2022. I also currently have a TRV for the US. I had an invitation letter from my Canadian brother-in-law. My VO is Ankara. I also have a PR application (timeline in the signature), and I also stated this in my TRV application. Short after I gave the biometrics for TRV, tracker status has been changed to following, and it's been the same since then:

Biometrics: Completed
Eligibility: Completed
Medicals: Not started
Background: In progress

So far, for PR, I have received AoR, SA, BIL, and medicals; but no updates on the TRV. I have even raised a webform, stating 'it's past the processing times and I want to learn the status of my TRV', and it's been received by IRCC on Aug 11, but also no replies so far... Anyone have any ideas, experiences etc.?

In the Portal account, the latest update is: Biometrics - June 8, 2023: Completed.
No estimated completion date.

Details about the application:

Review of eligibility
  • We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
Review of medical results
  • You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of additional documents
  • We do not need additional documents.
Interview
  • You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics
  • June 8, 2023 Completed.
Background check
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision
  • Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

experienced ppl pls help!!!
see my time line in signature,,

i called CIC and they said, eligibilty completed
said, background check is also completed
but still in progress!!
i asked, if u need any document, pls let me know, they said We don't need!
i said, pls let me know if this is not approved i will try to apply again.
they said, I don't see anything unusual on this account, everything seems fine so far, it just a workload that visa officer is taking time to upload the final decision.
i said, are u sure background is also completed?? she said YES I CAN SEE IT HERE!
I said, but i cant see background check completed in TRACKER??
she said, I CAN VERY WELL SEE IT HERE ITS COMPLETED!!
