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.

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.

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.

Biometrics Completion date: 25 October, 2021
Country of residence: India
Your relation: Applicants are my parents

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.
