Hi,

1. I have applied for a TRV on Nov 29 2020 and it was approved on the Dec 14 2020.
The Correspondence Letter is a standard generic reply for the biometrics I believe, I received it too.

"RE: validity of your biometric information

Thank you for providing your biometric information (i.e. digital fingerprints and photograph) in support of your temporary resident application to Canada. The purpose of this letter is to notify you that your biometric information is valid until (yyyy/mm/dd) for subsequent temporary resident applications to Canada."


2. I received the passport request on the same day I received my correspondence letter. I think this highly depends on the VO and how fast they work, it is really a case to case basis.

3. I sent an email to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca to prioritize my application.

I included my quarantine plan, sponsor and PA identity documents, and marriage certificate with the following information :

Principal Applicant full name

Date of birth

Application in Process

Application channel

Application number

Date Received

Passport number

Reason for travel

Proof of relationship

Planned travel date

Current country of residence



Hope this helps!
whats the nationality of the applicant?
