New Instructions from IRCC for applications before 7th Sep 2021

[PrasannaGTA]

yea brother, many things are on the line here. I have many issues goin on in Toronto because of my absence. On the brighter side, advance Diwali wishes to everyone!

When did you reapply? Through GC key?

 

[Gary Singh Rai]

Hi Gary-Did you reapply post sept 7?

Yes, applied on September 18th second time.

 

[Gary Singh Rai]

While applying for the new application via IRCC portal it is saying that the old application will be withdrawn. Is there a way both can go hand in hand? I don't want to lose the one that I have waited this long at the same time if the trend changes in 2 weeks to GC Key I may still be regretting our decision

I believe the old application gets withdrawn only when they start processing new application. I am also planning to apply on portal again.

In my case my original one (pre Sept 7) was already withdrawn and I received the money. But the status is not updated yet in GC Key

It seems random. Both my applications are active on gc key, I didn't get any withdrawal email either.

How accurate is this statement ? or anyone with experience can shed some light on it. I apply Nov 06,202 ( yes 2020) no update as at Oct 22,2021. SO i apply via new portal . On Oct 29, the old application withdrawn . When i submitted new application i did send a webform asking for it to withdrawn and provided the new application number. I really hope thats the case. My visa office is Port of Spain - Trinidad.

Please use the following link to submit passports for the VISA stamping

https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ind/en/can/news/passport-submission-service-via-2-way-courier

So the only option in India is Two way courier for stamping ... cannot visit VFS center and drop passports ?

By any chance your application transferred to Delhi from Canada?

My mother has been asked whether she wants to travel before her medical expiry date to Canada, if she does then she doesn't need re-medical and they will do further processing, otherwise she needs to do medical again. This message came against her old application in GCKey not IRCC portal.

How does the medical admissibility work? Let's see she agreed now but decides to travel later, will that be a problem at the Port of Entry in Canada? Do they check medicals again?
