Visitor Visa Applied Aug 2021 | Old IRCC Portal |Biometrics Sep 2021

[rdhill]

Hi,
I submitted Visitor Visa application for my parents on Aug 24th and they gave their Bio metrics on Sep 24th. I applied through the Old IRCC portal using GCkey,
No response or updates yet !

Should I re-apply through the new portal?
Anyone in the same situation?

Please let me know

I have applied for visitor visa in Sept 2021, biometric in Oct 2021, after that no response.
Please share your visa status, have you got yours?
Have you reapplied?
It will be helpful.

Hello Hardip,
I have similar case, have applied around the same time line your parent, no response yet. I am parent, my son is in Canada for MS.
We (me and my wife) applied in 22 Aug 2021, biometric on 12 Oct 2021 with GCKey, after that it is in processing.
Do you advise to reapply in new portal? I never knew that there is new portal.
Please share your experience, it will be useful.

I submitted a total of three applications for my parents who are in India. Two via the old GCkey portal (on August 15 2021 and October 26 2021 ). One via the new IRCC portal (on November 3 2021).

The November 3rd application was approved yesterday.

Congratulations!!!

Hi All,

I Finally got my Parents Visitor Approved and passport request letter. Guess the only way is PATIENCE

Congratulations!!! Happy to see your good news.
Was this with application with GSKey or new IRCC?

 

[rdhill]

Was there a change in your eligibility status before you got a passport request? Did you send any emails or webforms? I submitted my parents application august 28 and up until know it is still in progress. Background check is in progress since last year and the eligibility hasn’t even started yet.

Same status for our application Applied with GSKey on Aug 22, 2021, biometric on Oct 12
