Hi, would like to know if you have selected the purpose of travel as visiting family/tourism or others and then entered COVID-19 as description?

Out of interest why would a COVID 19 be a reason for visiting Canada. COVID 19 would seem to be a reason to not travel anywhere unless absolutely necessary which visiting/ tourism are not

Hello, thanks for sharing the timeline, did you send the Passport with the 'original passport request' letter? Do we have to include any other document?

Hey guys,
I am applying Canada TRV for my parents as well from US. They are here on US visitor visa (will be staying for 6 months). I am not sure what would be the "Countries or Territories of Residence" I should be mentioning, so to be able to complete the process from us (i.e. biometrics, passport two way courier, stamping at LA VAC, etc). Kindly guide on this, thanks

@Sabi16 @r_ca please help, thanks!
