Hi Friends, we need some urgent help. my wife is applying for visa visa. She paid the fees of $185 (visa + biometrics fees) separately before starting the application using this link: https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/order.do?category=17
She also received conformation email with the payment receipt.
However, when she started applying, there is a section called 'Pay Fees'. Does she have to pay again? And the fees paid earlier is gone to waste?

Ay help is greatly appreciated.
I had the same dilemma but thankfully my consultant alerted me to only pay in the GC key account while submitting the TRV application.

Thanks. Our application has been denied because of following reason.Have you submitted the site visit authorization form?

It has been determined that your application does not meet the requirements for approval at this time because the application was incomplete.

The following additional information is required to complete the application:

 Site Visit Authorization form

Errors to be corrected:
 Missing address information for your Plan for Limited Release
Hey, I also applied and got the same reply. Can you please help me here?

Guys, Can anyone please guide me what should I fill in "Plan for Limited Release from Quarantine Period". I want to apply for my parents as my wife due date is in April. They will stay at my house address for quarantine and for rest of their stay.

Also, please guide whether Site Visit Authorization form(s) is mandatory form or not?. Should I fill it or not because my parents will not visit any site. Its confusing. They will stay at my home address for the whole trip.

@ankitban.27 I believe the site visit auth form is needed if they'll need to break quarantine to visit other locations, say a funeral or something. If your parents are gonna be quarantining at your place, I don't think that is necessary. Atleast, that's my understanding

I also had the same understanding but I got an email that you have not completed the mandatory forms so we are rejecting your application. You can reapply with all the required documents and information.

They asked me to fill site-visit-authorization-form and Plan for limited release

Thats sad... Even I need to apply soon for below :( But this was never a requirement earlier. Did you fill in some address for below information requested on page 6? Looks like they need site authorization information for the below if applicable.

Plan for Limited Release from Quarantine Period
You must complete this section if:
  • You plan to leave your quarantine location to go to another location that could bring you into contact with other people e.g., a friend or relative’s house, any public location, any public or private facility such as a hospital, long-term care facility, funeral home, or place of worship, etc.
  • You plan to have visitors enter your quarantine location e.g., friends or family visiting, healthcare professional or personal support worker visiting, etc.
Please indicate the name and address of the site (s) of the visit. Where applicable, indicate a private residence. A signed Site Visit Authorization form to be included in the application for each site listed.

My family and I applied for visit visa in Jan 2020. We got the biometrics letter in Feb 2020. Further in Feb 2020 they asked for additional information about my work. After that there was complete silence.
It was only at the end of Oct 2020 that we received the reply. During this time I was expecting that they would require updated information on work and bank statements. But this did nit happen.
In Nov 2020 we submitted our passports in Dubai and got our visas till the expiry of our passports. However, the very next day we received an email that till futher orders we will not be able to travel on TRVs. It is only after the restrictions on travel are lifted in full that the travel will be allowed.
Some of my friends applied in March and July 2020. They have not received any response as yet. Their consultants are saying that it might take a year before they would receive any response.

Hi All,
Did anyone get visitor visa approved without PHAC approval recently? We received biometrics instruction letter, is it worth getting biometrics done from Nepal or Dubai or should I wait till they start biometrics for visitor visa in India.
Your feedback is highly appreciated.

Thank you,
Gary

Your parents can only quarantine at your home if you have a separate area like a basement suite. Pregnant women are considered vulnerable because they are at higher risk of covid and they are more likely to have contact with the healthcare system. Same thing for infants. There seems to be a trend of people using PHAC for pregnancy. Unless there are other medical issues pregnancy is not usually considered under PHAC.

Depends on how quickly someone wants to travel to Canada.
