Has anyone re-applied for the visitor visa after Sep 7th and gotten a passport request as well?
I applied for a visitor visa to reunite with immediate family in Feb 2021, provided all docs for travel exemption but haven't heard any response yet.

I called the IRCC, they say if your situation has not changed, implying that you already told us you were exempt from covid-travel-restrictions, you don't need to submit an application again, we will process the same application. But I am seeing few responses in forum where the new application re-filed got a response in just days. I don't understand why my application is not being processed and prioritized then.

Can anyone share their experience if they initially filed visitor visa providing proof that they are exempted from any travel restrictions and then recently submitted a new application after Sep 7th, have you heard back anything yet?

Hi. My mother got her biometrics done around August 14 and it got updated on her application in 2-3 days. Not sure why the biometrics are not updated in your case! You should call the IRCC to understand the reason.

After the biometrics, we were also waiting for the medical request which did not come till now. However, after the new recommendation from IRCC post Sep 7, I have submitted a new application for the Super Visa. Again there is a lot of confusion if that is required or not but I had called up the IRC and the agent told me to do that to be on a safer side. I submitted the new application using the same GC Key account and hence the old biometrics are being shown in the new application as well. I am still waiting for any updates on the new application.
Any updates yet?
