can I apply again? because I submitted my dad's application yesterday?
Certainly, if you want to apply again with new portal you can go ahead. all you just need to pay fees again.

remember there is only difference of processing time.

okay, but is this valid if I am applying for my dad who is in India? and what about the biometric and International medical test?

normally person applying for their parents, all you just need to make sure, apply in a way that he is filling all information not you applying. once you submit application you will receive Bio. submission letter request, medical is not required if you applying for only 6 months.

Hi guys, I applied for my in laws through gckey, biometrics done, but my mother in laws application status showing submitted, but my father in laws status showing "Action required", but in this account showing biometrics information updated, everything is there. Only the application status is Action required, anyone experienced similar situation? Biometrics was given on 5th October 2021. No updates yet. Thanks

Anyone has problem getting biometric appointments in VFS centres in India ? I am finding no slots available for next few months. Is there a solution for this ?

Hi.. My parents submitted TRV visa application for Canada recently and submitted their biometrics today. What are the next steps? Just wait? Do we need to submit travel exemption webform? Please note that we already provided proof of vaccination as part of additional documents with the application.

Application Date: 9 Oct, 2021
Biometrics Completion date: 25 October, 2021
Country of residence: India
Your relation: Applicants are my parents
Purpose of visit(Essential or non-essential): Personal travel to visit family
Approval date: NA

Would highly appreciate any insights on how long can the rest of process timelines be and what further steps (if any) we need to complete.

This is happening with everyone these days. One applicant submitted and the other action required.
