Hello Everyone,

We applied for my parent's visitor visa in August 2021, didn't hear anything for 2 months. Someone suggested to re-apply so we applied again on 31st Oct - online application through CIC account (didn't know that there is a new portal).

Got Biometrics request in 3 days, we got their Biometrics done last week. Waiting for a response now.

Can someone please help me understand that do we need to apply only through new portal or this application is fine?

How long should we expect to wait for a response?

** Note: Their previous visa expired in April 2021 **

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi guys. I need some help. I’m stuck at the US visa section. My parents have a US visa in their old passport. The passports were renewed in January. But, the portal won’t let me go back far enough with the dates. Their old passport was issued in May 2011.

I am looking for some help in submitting a visitor Visa Application for my child
we are waiting for the PR application to be approved and it is not progressing after AOR, so instead of waiting we want to apply the visitor Visa for our son
I am using the New IRCC portal to submit the TRV application and it has the following


A copy of a letter from the person that you will depend on financially during your stay in Canada.

The letter must include the amount of money this person will be providing, plus proof that this person has sufficient funds. This can be one or more of the following:


Could someone help me with a letter sample that i can provide in this section

Thanks

I applied for my visitor visa on 16 oct., biometric done in 2019. No update until now
I just applied on Nov 23rd on the IRCC secure portal. Did not realize there was a new portal out there. No idea on what to do. Considering the situation, I will probably never hear from anyone again.

I'm a PR holder (COPR) and residing in Canada and my wife Open Permit extension in progress. She is pregnant and would like to invite Mother-in-law and father-in-law for support after delivery. My question, As a son-in-law can I submit Visitor request for both of them under my profile? Do I need to select the option as Representative and release to information to approved person? Can you please share the new visitor visa portal details.

Note: In-laws are in India

Applications submitted via GC Key (after September 7 2021) are also being processed at the same pace as the IRCC portal.

Some people have got refunds. IRCC refunds when processing is not started. But dont count on this. As you they are in complete mess.

Hi @VinothSampath,

Did your friend file both old and new Visitor VISA application through GCKey or new IRCC portal? Anyone has heard about reapplying Visitor VISA for spouse using gckey portal if one application is already in progress? Primary applicant has approved work permit but hasn't travelled to Canada till now.
