Application submitted on Sept 2020 for super visa (for Father in law and mother in law)

MP checked with Immigration and Immigration informed that the criminal check completed and just waiting for the decision to be made.

Congratulations. Was your mother's reasons for traveling discretionary? Apparently, they denied my mother's travel exemption despite being an immediate family member who is fully vaccinated just because they thought her travel is discretionary. Post September 7, fully vaccinated travelers are allowed to come to Canada even for optional purposes, I don't know why they did. Any advise would be appreciated.

As i mentioned , i just got the generic reply that they cannot issue travel exemption to me. To clear the air here my guess is travel exemption form is of no use now.

travel exemption form was for in mid 2021 , when they had travel restrictions on. so if somebody already had a trv and wants to come to canada to meet immediate family member despite of travel restrictions , then they were allowed to come post their approval of travel exemption. But when now border is open to all , that form looks obsolete to me , but still worth trying no harm. anyways i submitted the application no with vaccine certs for the webform but as i said they replied that i am not eligible for that.

Just checked again, It isn't obsolete. That form is meant only for non-discretionary travel, it's my mistake that I didn't notice.

The requirements through IRCC portal for family reunification for immediate family members is a bit different. Here's a snapshot of what the portal says.

You must also meet one of the following requirements to enter Canada:
  • You qualify for the fully vaccinated traveler exemption
  • You’ll stay in Canada for 15 days or more.
  • You’re travelling for a non-discretionary purpose.
This means, the travel exemption request for family reunification for immediate family members through IRCC portal is least restrictive, it allows you to travel for optional purposes only if you qualify as fully vaccinated traveler, or 15 days + stay in Canada for the unvaccinated whereas the web-form mandates that the reason must non-optional, being a fully vaccinated traveler won't exempt like IRCC portal based submission allows.

Please note that IRCC will only issue written authorization to an applicant who holds a valid Canadian travel document (i.e. electronic travel authorization [eTA] or visitor visa). Based on our review of your enquiry and the information in our system, we can confirm that your application for a visitor visa is in our processing queue. However, since you do not yet have a valid Canadian travel document, we are unable to process your request for an exemption to the Canadian travel restrictions. As such, your request will not be processed.


this is what they replied to me.

Applied for Super Visa for my parents from Mumbai, India on Sept 29. Got bio metric request on Oct 19.

I don't see any slots at VFS Mumbai location until the end of the year. The bio metrics has to be completed before Nov 19. Is there another way that people can suggest ? I need a slot for my parents in November.
