Folks who are awaiting a decision on your Visitor Visa Application - What does Criminality Passed mean? Is that any indicator of getting a decision over a couple of more days? Please share any insights you have

How to check criminality on portal? I don't see any such field.

You can ask your MP to find out about the application or call IRCC - Sometimes they give this info out. Else they may ask you to contact the nearest office of the country of principal applicant

Hello, I applied for my husbands VV on 24th Oct and got rejection today. They mentioned "Will not leave based on purpose and financial assets". I have his SOWP with IRCC since Feb 2021. I am really disappointed now. Please suggest me if I should reapply? Also, any suggestions on what all documents to attach and get approval this time?

You are a student so what funds did you show to support him in Canada without working. What ties did he show that he will return - job, property etc. Given you have SOWP app, VO doesn‘t believe he will leave as a visitor.

Hello folks, Waiting on my mom's visitor Visa here's the timeline. Indian Passport holder previous travel history to Canada.
Old Visa Expired July 2020
Re Applied on GCKey - July 2020
Biometrics- July 2021 (Yes after 1 year)
Since then no update.

Finally, I am thinking of applying in the new portal. I wanted to ask if anyone would recommend or answer below questions:

1. in the new portal it asks the reason for visit: Is it good to select: Visit non-dependent children in Canada as PR? (I am a landed immigrant since 2017).
2. For this category, do you attach invite letter?
3. for financial support: Do you share the financial documents of the person inviting (i.e. me - son from Canada) or say statements from India?
4. Finally, how do you show ties to India? Do property documents still work?
