Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[VinothSampath]

Thanks alot. I also applied for my parents from Nigeria. I might have to reapply via the new portal. Sucks having to pay a new fee for no reason.

My friend got a refund. You may get too. Don't worry

Hi All,

I left Canada without my TRV but applied for it from South Africa on 18th October 2021.. does anyone know any possible timeline for my situation?
No ppt request yet..

HI! Thank you for providing these info
Was your spouse working back in the home country while the visa got approved? Is it important for your spouse to continue working till the visa gets approved to prove ties with the home country? If not, what proof did you spouse submit to prove ties with the home country?

someone I know got a passport request and after some days received a refusal letter. I do not know why they did that.

Hi All,
In new portal are we required to fill in any PDF form and upload in optional documents? I don't see any option in the portal where sibling details could be entered. I am told by my agent that IMM5645 has to filled.

I am not finished with the filling up of that new portal but I don't think any PDF form need to be filled in there. You will have to upload your own PDF files such as IMM5645 and IMM006.

I didn’t see IMM006 on the requirement for my parents

Can we get a list of documents somewhere that needs to be filled? I am confused as in some are saying that new portal has everything and no IMM documents has to be filled and then some are saying that IMM006/IMM5645 has to be filled and uploaded.

Hi, just wanted to know where you applied from? Which country and through which application?

 

[guddylover]

Help: trying to reapply for my parents' visa but I noticed that they didn't ask me to upload any proof of funds and invitation letter. Does anyone know why? (could it be because I indicated that my parents had been issued visas before but now expired?)

 

[Basir amini]

I really

I really don’t understand why mine is taking so long…I had a previous visa I have travel history and I travelled every year to Canada as well not sure why, did your mom do hers from Trinidad via new portal?

Did you have invitation letter? Which category did you select? Which documents did you submit?
I have invitation letter from my friend along with his pr, bank statements, salary slips and taxation.
Should I go through GCKey or new portal?
If new portal which category i have to select?
Thanks in advance.

 

[guddylover]

i just wrote in the invitation letter that she has 3 other kids in Nigeria and also cares for my aged father in Nigeria

Hi again, do you know how long it took from passport submission to receiving it back with the visa? Thanks a lot.
