Hi ,
I have applied for visitor's visa within Canada from the old GC key portal .
Application submitted Sept. 29, 2022

Application status says :
We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements .


what would be the next steps in the application ? Can anyone shed some light after how many days of this status got their PPR ?
I have applied via new portal on 17 September and biometrics has been done on 21 September but the application status still showing ‘Submitted’ only

Experts , Need advise.

If a person who wants to travel Canada from India just as a tourist who doesn't have any friends in Canada, can he apply without reference letter.

can he apply for visitor visa stating he just want to visit the country for touring ? or is it mandatory he should have other valid reason like meeting immediate family member or friends?

If he can apply so, then what is the probablity of timelines to get it approved?

Kindly advise. thanks

You don’t need to know anyone in Canada to visit but you need a strong profile - travel history, funds ties to home country. No one can tell you if it will be approved but a decision will take 5-6 months.

Hi,
I applied for my parents visitor Visa on 18th March and they did their Biometric on 31st March in India. The didn’t have US visa or travel history during first application.
After raising few webform we didn’t get any reply and my parent went to USA to visit my sister.
So I reapplied again from US for visit visa.
Today I got letter from IRCC that my India application is rejected due to insufficient tiesgoing back home.
And my US application have move to reviewing eligibility.
Does this mean there is hope their US application can be approved.
I due in Nov 2022 and gave medical reason for visit with letter from my gynaecologist. This whole process very frustrating and stressful.
Thank you for any suggestions
Hi there ,

It is better to apply for super visa for your parents.

They will process it easily.

Thanks.

Hi, I have mentioned that " The purpose of their visit is to meet myself and my husband. We have been in Canada for over 12 years now and my parents have not visited Canada since. During those years I was not able to spend long quality time with my family, so I would like to invite my parents to Canada in this coming summer. We plan to take them to all the tourist attractions around Toronto and show them the beauty of Canada that has been our home since 2008.".

Also I put expected date for arrival as 1st April in application.
