As of today, the application has been submitted for 31 days and we have no response. The application status tracker says that May 30 was the last update (day we applied). What should I do? Should I submit a webform inquiring about it?

I suggest you to check status on portal & not on tracker.

At least you got respons for webform.but they didn't mentioned status of your application. Hopefully those all crossed normal processing time mentioned on ircc will get decisions soon.

Hey Manpreet, My Visa was refused on 9th June. I wanted to visit my sister. What about raising a webform in my case? My husband decision is still pending. He has a military background.

I've checked GCKey and the Application Tracker. Same updates.

I submitted a webform on Monday. Will wait for that. Anything else I can do?

Disappointingly, we recieved a refusal letter this evening. Reason given was the purpose of your visit is inconsistent with a temporary stay given the details you have provided. This was the reason we got last time we applied in March 2025 as well. When I requested the GCMS notes for the last application, the notes didn't say anything more than the refusal letter. No explanation or anything.

I'm very disappointed. Is there anything I can do? The refusal doesn't make sense to me.
