Visit Visa Application (Using the new IRCC Portal)

[anon66991]

They apply, not you. Your spouse’s application has nothing to do with them

Thanks for the reply! Yes they will be applying but I will be providing the invitation letter. Since both applications are different, I should be good!

If from India, it is averaging at 6 months. Best of Luck

I heard that by showing/uploading the flight tickets would actually speed up the process. Did anyone here had luck by doing so?

Completely wrong. We got the 2nd TRV refusal after showing all this only to realize that it was Chinook 3+ that handled our files. So

It is a myth. People just try to assign reasons if they get a visa vs not get a visa. Someone's file may be got approved and coincidently may be they uploaded air ticket then they just mention that on forum and then it just gets propagated without any evidence.

If I apply for my parents visitor visa in the new portal do I need to show 4 months or 6 months bank statement as additional proof of funds?

Hi All,

I am a PR living in Canada.
Yesterday, my spouse submitted his visitor visa application from India, on the new portal but missed to attach the invite letter. Only passport was asked in the form as mandatory document to be submitted.
Is there a way to attach the invite letter now to the application?
Is it really very important?

Please guide.

Thanks.

Its not even 5 working days. My parents received their visa under CAN+ in March 2022. They received CAN+ because of valid US visa, but travel history to Canada should also account.

I have traveled to canada before and currently have valid US b1/b2 visa. My application is still under process since May 1st. Idk how they process some applications over others and call CAN+ faster.

Any one their application is under review please share the online status wording thanks

It's a bit odd, as my parents got their visa few months back within couple of days. Somehow the application got missed, its hard to say. All countries haves some or other issue, not sure if Ukraine thing is playing a part. The good thing is Canada doesn't charge any extra fees for CAN+. I applied for UK 6 month visit visa under priority visa, paid $600+ USD instead of regular processing of $130 USD and even after 9 working days no update. They claim to process priority visa in 5 working days, and I have visited UK couple of times.
No phone number or email to reach out to them, and they don't return your passport either.

Hi there,

Got a quick question:

My PGWP is about to expire in August last but I already got OINP approved. Now waiting for ITA. How can I apply for a visitor visa for my wife through new portal (or even the old one)?

One vague idea I had in my mind is that:
Since WP is about to expire, maybe I can show Immigration that my wife and me need some time in Canada before the expiration and going back. She is also working in India and have all documents to show them about job and investments.

Any words on this case? Really appreciate the help

Once submitted, you cannot amend the submission

Raise a webform and attach whatever you want to. it wil take time for them acknowledge and attach those docs to your application

Good Luck

You can apply her VV and demonstrate home ties funds and justified purpose of visit

If she is on your PR application already, you have to explain why she needs a TRV and how she will leave the country despite having long term plans within Canada

Old or new, these are mandatory. Good Luck
