New Instructions from IRCC for applications before 7th Sep 2021

[awb]

if am not wrong, passport request comes from Local Visa office. But an indication that they want to issue PPR, but they want a passport which has good passport validity.. you have not renewed? you will get visa only till expiry of your passport..

I have renewed it already and it is currently with the immigration office of my current country of residence for student visa extension.
is it better to wait until i receive the passport with the extended visa and submit the visa page and bio page together or just to submit the bio page now without waiting for the student visa then attach a letter to explain the situation.

They asked just the copy of passport right, better submit to avoid delays with an explanation letter...

My sister in-law submitted her visit visa application last August 2020 and until now she did not receive and response
Can you please advise us if she will re-submit her application or better yet to wait though she has no plan to travel .

I see the normal processing time for TRV is 190 days....so if anyone is planning.a child then need to submit visa application as soon as they got to know that they are expecting a child or plan family based on processing time ...ridiculous.
