Hi for second GC key application have you created a new account or used same account used in 1st application?

 

[samrakaran]

This morning I got a ghost email update saying " We updated your application status " for my second application filled three days back on GC Key but when I logged in, there is no change at all.

For second GC Key application, have you created a new GC key account or used the same account as used in first application?

They are yet to send. Do let me know if you get the answers. Also, is it possible to submit passports in-person at Visa Application Center in Delhi?

We applied on Oct 1 on GCKey and got the biometrics request on Oct 2 and submitted them on Oct 4. Following are some details which we are unclear of:

1. The primary applicant's details are updated with biometrics number validity and all but the status is still Your Action is Required while the secondary's application turned to Submitted by Oct 7. I did submit a web form which was acknowledged a week later but no change
2. How much time would it take for the approvals? Any approximations?

Does anyone know if we MUST submit the vaccination certificate for TRV?

My purpose of visit is immediate family (spouse - PR)

Already submitted my application on 12th September (2nd time via GCKey) but still no response.

Im thinking maybe its not clear that Im exempted from the COVID restrictions

Vaccine may not be an issue because Visa has to be granted based on other factors.
- Do you have any travel history?
- What is the immigration status of your spouse in Canada?

Thanks for your response here. I did submit the webform but haven't heard back. Any other way to write to them?

Is there any one got applied for after SEP 7 and got their PPR in this group?????

 

[SeniorStakes]

Thanks for your response here. I did submit the webform but haven't heard back. Any other way to write to them?

In my case, we got the PPR in 2-3 days so I didn't write even though I was about to write. I think this is not that big an issue. See if the status stays the same for few more days. If it does, send them another form.

Can anyone let me know if Inland people can re-apply for TRV for themselves via new portal or we have to use the old GC Key way?
