Good day,
We have received your enquiry and can confirm that a review of your application remains in process. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be in touch with you when a final decision is made or if more information is required. To obtain more information, please fill out the IRCC Web form in order for it to be sent to the responsible Canadian visa office directly.
Due to the ongoing situation, IRCC offices are experiencing processing delays. Rest assured that they are making all the necessary efforts to process requests as soon as possible; however, having to respond to status updates on applications will affect the processing times.
Also note that during the review of your file, you are not considered to hold a valid Travel document. As such, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada until you are advised.
We thank you for your patience in this difficult time,
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada

Good day
We have received your request for a written authorization under the travel restrictions exemptions.
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.
While we are unable to provide an update on the processing of your visitor visa application, please note that if you applied before September 7, 2021 and need to travel to Canada now for one of the following reasons, we recommend that you submit a new application through the IRCC portal. If you require written authorization, your request will be processed as part of your new visa application.
For more information about who is eligible to submit a new application, please refer to the following website, Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and visitors to Canada: Visitor visa applications. Please note,
- If you are not travelling for one of the reasons specified or choose not to submit a new application, no further action is required from you at this time and your application will remain in the queue for processing.
- If you no longer wish to travel to Canada, you can request a withdrawal of your application through the web form. Please note that there is no guarantee that you will receive a refund.
For more information on who can travel to Canada, please visit the Travel restrictions in Canada webpage.
For the list of mandatory requirements currently in place for visitors travelling to Canada, visit the COVID-19: Travel, testing, quarantine and borders webpage.
Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada
