Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[sheikhzaid]

Hi. Anyone applied for visa as a tourist? Is tourism to Canada allowed now?

Non-essential travellers are not allowed currently. But you can apply for the visa. It would most probably be put on hold!

If the anwer is yes for these questions, is it likely for the visitor visa to be approved for the spouse?

ya its a bit strong if ur wife is working, and u invite her 5-6 weeks. she gets a leave letter from her employer nd stuff.
other than that spousal visa is hard.

Hi All,

I am helping my parents apply for Canadian visa through IRCC website. Their last visa expired with their passport last year and I am re-applying.. I wanted to know two things:

1. Are you requesting for Biometric in your application? They dont remember if they did biometrics the last time when they applied 5 years ago. Its possible they did it. Are you requesting for biometrics anyways?
2. Also, how are you uploading your supporting documents in the application? I dont see a lot of space to upload docs.

Thanks!!

UPDATE

Confirmed with VFS in India that all VV applications since ~2019 require biometrics. I paid for the biometrics fee along with the application and got the request for Biometrics within 12 hours.

I don't understand this whole situation anymore. People are waiting from Sep /Oct and beyond last year and newer applications from January are getting a visa just like that in 2-3 day. Disgusting.

If you are a PR or citizen, check with your MP's office. Tweet IRCC about the processing and tag TV channels.

waste of time plus money too.

People stuck without decisions on the iRCC Portal are filing again using GC Key and getting a decision in 2 weeks. Seems to be the latest trend.

Know of one more person who got successful this route.

Now I am wondering if I should as well. Any thoughts anyone ??

already spent 750$ till now and even If I spend 200$ more there is no gaurantee. I would say wait or try to reach via call or some other channel

there is no channel as far as I know. either keep waiting or keep spending more - to each their own
