Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[swordenium]

Hi,

I was using the updated new IRCC portal today for submitting a visit visa for my sibling who resides in the UK.

I chose the following option, however, I don't see any file upload option for "Letter of Invitation" which used to be asked months back.

"To visit my grandparent, grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, step-sibling or non-dependent child who is a Canadian citizen, person registered under Canada's Indian Act or permanent resident of Canada"

Has anything changed? Did IRCC waive letter of invitation?

Thanks

There is no priority given to kids right now. I have applications for my children and no movement.

You can raise web forms but they are all getting ignored right now

No fee for biometric if age < 16

When did you apply? I think IRCC is processing the applications with biometric fee paid / fully vaccinated with vaccination certificate provided. Not sure how people are receiving PPR for applications filed post Nov 2021..

Hello all, Does anyone got PPR for newborn/kids TRV applied in Nov2021/post that?
Is anyone still waiting?
IRCC should have the option of filtering the kids application and processing them at the earliest.
Kids won't be traveling alone for some tourism they are dependents and would be accompanying their parents with active PR/WP.
Hope IRCC will understand that parents with approved PR/WP can travel only when their kids TRV is getting approved. Till then most of the parents won't be able to travel without their kids and join their jobs and Canada government would also be losing the tax and revenue.
Hope someone from IRCC will look into all these threads and process the pending kids applications..

Hi,
I am planning to apply for Visit Visa for Myself and my child. My spouse has applied for study permit and anticipating to get it by mid of April so he is on implied status currently.

I would like to know that can I apply for VV when my spouse on Implied status? and give reason of travel as Family reunification or should I say to attend spouse graduation ceremony? Which will be safer choice?

Thanks!
