• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on your immigration status. pls what does BASE ON YOUR IMMIGRATION STATUS MEANS?
 
Can a person still apply for a visitor visa if they have an active express entry profile? Just the EE profile, no any invitations or no PR applications yet.
 
My parents applications got approved Feb 8, 2022 through new IRCC portal
Old application through GCKey was automatically withdrawn - Jan 20, 2022
I tried to request refund using the payment receipt number - Feb 4, 2022
Refund received - Feb 9, 2022
Can you explain how you requested for refund?
 
Looking for advise on my situation, please assist if possible.
"I got my canadian work permit last month and still in India waiting for my baby's birth(in couple of weeks). My employer wants me in canada by end of march,so if I apply visitor visa for my newborn based on my WP, will I be able to get the visa approved within a month ?
Also do i have to apply in the new IRCC portal for my newborn's visitor visa, since i heard the new portal is only for people who are already residing in Canada ? "

Hi, my in-laws (from India) had applied for visitor visa on portal on 6th Feb 2022. (they also had a previous application from Sep 2020, with biometrics done on Sep 2021).
Yesterday they got a passport request in their account. However, the VFS India website does not provide clear instructions on how/where to send the passports. Can someone please help, if they have any recent experience with submitting passports to VFS?
Thanks

Go through this page. You will come across the passport submission form. From what I understand, someone from BlueDart will come and pick up their passports to send it to one of visa processing centers in India. After getting the visa stamped, the passports will be returned to BlueDart. And BlueDart will return the stamped passports back to your in-laws' place.

Do you know if IRCC will automatically refund or if we have to ask for the refunds from our end? I have two applications automatically withdrawn and I was under the impression that IRCC would refund the fees in the coming weeks.
 
hi everyone, do you need to go all the way one by one to reach uploading documents section? or is there a short cut? I tried to click on blue headings for each section but they do not take you where you want.
