Hi everyone,
I'm in need of some advice. I'm in a bit of a situation where my agent applied a new application through GC key on 10th September and didn't inform me on time. Not knowing this, I personally reapplied through portal on 13th September.
There has been no activity in both applications. Should I let this be? Or is it better to withdraw the 10th September application?
Please advice
Hi,
When was your first application made!
When you make an application via portal, all other applications (for the same purpose) prior to that get withdrawn with no gurantee of refund. That's what you agree on while filling out the form.
However, you can request for a refund.

My first application through GC key - 27th July
My second application through GC key which the agent applied - 10th September
My third application through portal - 13th September.

Let me check if they can give me a refund. More importantly, I hope this doesn't end up causing processing delays. That's what I'm more worried of

Congrats!

A few questions for you:
  1. In your first application, did you mention 'Purpose of travel' as 'Other - COVID-19'?
  2. Did you also submit a separate Webform for travel exemption?
  3. When did you provide biometrics?
  4. Did you submit new application using GC Key account or the new portal account?

For those who got PPRs after re-submitting the app - did you all submit vaccination proof showing applicant is fully vaccinated with COVISHIELD (only Canada approved vaccine available in India)? I am wondering if there are considering vaccination as major factor for handing out PPRs.

can anyone explain how we were supposed to tell them "you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption"?
I selected "family visit" in 5257E purpose of travel
