New Instructions from IRCC for applications before 7th Sep 2021

[adlu]

After several webforms to CIC. They finally responded, and recommended sending another application via IRCC Portal, even though they initially said if nothing has changed, don't bother sending another application.

So if you have been waiting like me, just send another application and hope for the best.

Can someone share the link to the IRCC portal? The link from CIC is invalid. Smh.

Thanks

Hi all,
The date we could book for my parents is Dec 14 but the deadline given is on or before Dec 10th. I raised a webform and the response I got is ' Have forwarded to the responsible officer' and nothing else. Has anyone submitted biometrics post the deadline? Any information on this situation? Thanks in advance

BVL - Biometics Validation Letter, it is typically issued before you get a final decision on your application. However, I am not sure if they send BVL for IRCC portal applications.
Since your biometrics info is already showing up on the portal application means that it is already linked, hence the message " we do not need your biometrics".

Yes, my mom got BVL with her PPR letter in the new portal.

Is this BVL a term conjured by the forum? Or is it something new introduced by the IRCC? I can't seem to find any information online about BVL. I can only find information about Biometrics Instruction Letter (BIL) online. I have never received any such letters while I submitted my biometrics to come to Canada and while applying for PR - both were approved without this BVL.

Thanks!
Sign up requires an invite code. How do we get that? Or does her the already existing GC key details work?

BVL is just an abbreviation maybe it's not used by IRCC.
IRCC issues biometrics validation letters for temporary resident applications (TRVs for a study permit, work permit, visitor visa applications) submitted outside Canada. I'm not sure when they introduced this.
As far as I know, there is no BVL for PR applications.

I am applying for super visa application for my parents using new portal. Appreciate if some one can address my queries :

- In the new portal, do we need to create two online applications for the parents i.e one for father and one for mother. I completed the information for single person and it is only asking the documents for one person even though I indicated that the second person will be coming.

- In the list of documents, there is no option to upload invitation letter, medical insurance etc. So, do we not need this information in new portal?

Hi I submitted my mothers visitor visa on the 17 Aug 2021 via Gckey and then again on the 22nd Sept 2021 via the ircc portal and both applications has her previous biometrics updated ( she had a valid visa for 1 year but couldn’t travel due to the pandemic)but I haven’t heard anything from ircc. Do I need to send a webform as it’s passed the 30 business days via the portal? Thanks

That's great! Congrats!
Is your spouse working in India? How did you prove that she'll return after her visit?

Yes, she's working in India. we got a letter from her employer stating she has to return back to work on a particular day to kick-off a new project.

Oh ok, that might have definitely helped!
Any previous travel history to countries like UK, US, Australia? And did she show her own proof of funds or was it just your bank statements?
