This forum has helped me a lot throughout this journey so here is my post to help in return.

Details:
  1. My father had a visitor visa that expires in Aug 10 2021
  2. I applied for Supervisa in Feb 2021 when he was in India, however, due to Biometrics suspension, the case basically went on hold.
  3. On July 18 2021, he reached Canada using his existing Visitor visa instead of waiting for Supervisa given IRCC had a huge backlog. He successfully landed in Canada with few days left for visitor visa expiry. Keep in mind, even if the Visa expires - the entry is granted for 6 months (unless otherwise told or stamped on passport) - Read

hi All,

I applied for my parent's Supervisa below are the timelines. My father got the PPR request after a few days of Biometrics, however my mother didnt get any update related to PPR. Her application status is still in progress and biomertic date is updated. Is this normal that 1 parent can get PPR earlier than other? also there was no request for medical for my father.

Application Submitted - November 2, 2020
Submission Confirmation - November 3, 2020
Biometrics Collection Letter - November 4, 2020
Biometrics - October 4, 2021 Completed.


For Father -
Correspondence Letter - October 4, 2021
Original Passport Request - October 4, 2021
Final decision - Your application was approved. You need to send us your valid passport to finalize your application. Check your messages below for details.

For Mother -
Final decision - Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

Both applied together under same email and IRCC account , just curious why only 1 got PPR and other didn't.
Also, My father is just under 60 years of age and my mother is 60+ does that have anything to do? as my father didn't receive any medical request either?

thanks in advance.

I applied for my parents in Sep 2020. Got delayed due to biometrics which completed on Aug 2021. Still it has been more than 60 days now and no update on Medical request or anything. Now thinking to re-apply. Very frustrating

Guys,

My mother applied for SuperVisa in November 2020. Although Biometrics Appointment Letter was received soon after the application was submitted, yet the process of registering biometrics was completed in July 2021 due to COVID-19.

The background check has been in progress since the information related to biometrics was updated on the file in July 2021. A message has been sent to IRCC via webform, seeking an update. However, just a generic response was received in return.

I am not sure what else can be done to have the matter expedited. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to share. This is a really frustrating experience.

Hello everyone,

I was looking for information on super visa that was applied on September 15, 2020. Biometrics have been provided and application is still under process. Parents are in India. I have followed up with IRCC and they have said application is under process but efforts have been transferred to more urgent applications.

The application was done online and I have not been receiving any updates. The only send info when I ask.

I understand due to covid things are taking longer but it has been very long now. I didn't expect the process to be this long.

Does anyone know how much longer it may take?

Does anyone else have a situation like this?

I hope to hear your thoughts.

Thank you very much

I agree it is very frustrating. I am in the same situation and don't know that else to do. I applied in September 2020 as well. Still waiting until this day for updates

applied for mum
Nov 4, 2020 with upfront medicals
medicals passed -Nov 20, 2020
ghost communication
sent several web forms .... no response
medicals passed removed from profile in September 2021
currently on"we are processing your application" to date
sent exemption letter to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca today
this is super frustrating, hoping for the best
I reapplied for my mom's super visa on October 23, 2021 and got her PPR today. I suggest to reapply because the method of sending travel exemption letter did not work. IRCC withdrew the old gckey application as the new one got processed.

My mothers old passport and her visitor visa expired in Aug 2021

Applied for my mother supervisa and time line is as follows( its really ridiculous and sad ):
- application uploaded 29 Nov 2019 with upfront medical exam report attached
- Biometrics enrollment 5 Dec 2019
- Biometrics uploaded/completed 15 January 2020
------ passport renewed and notified IRCC ------
- new passport copy uploaded may 2021( IRCC acknowledged)
- Priority request submitted 2 July 2021
- After numerous enquiries figured out that application was closed, apparently they requested new medical examination(although no sign of it on the portal)
- New medical exam request received on portal 23 sept 2021
- Medical took place 30 Oct 2021
- no sign of report until 23 November, looks like they mixed up old and new passport number
- portal updated with Medical exam passed 23 November 2021
- still waiting ...........................................
it is very scary time and have general anxiety about it. My thoughts are with Strongbull1 and family, for their loss and terrible experience.

processing time for us is 749 days and counting as compared to published processing time of 49 days for this visa category
