@Mac2015
Yes, I have submitted an application for PHAC approval just 5 minutes back. I really don't care even if it is a Single entry visa. Right now my wife needs her mother's support. Will do another application in the future if we get a single entry visa.

I really don't have any idea of how this PHCA approval helps us but I did submit.

Do you think this PHAC approval will speed up our Visitor visa application?

It shows on website that attaching PHAC approval will prioritize the application.

I have a question for you.
1) On the application attachment under" purpose of travel-other(required) have you attached flight ticket or itinerary? or give day by day breakdown of their visit?

PHAC approval is related to ''A person is coming to Canada to provide Care/Support" or "reasons related death& final moments of life".

 

[Svng]

If you want compassionate approval, you need to have a health professional a doctor to sign that the person in Canada needs care or end of life support.
