Thanks for sharing. I'm now thinking of applying for a visitor's visa. The only caveat being the finances of my in laws. I'm not sure how to show their account - if just statements will do or a bank letter is required. Things like how much history do they see because I could transfer some money to them now but account statement will show it. So it's confusing
How did you get biometrics done when VACs are closed? No health checkup was required?
Hey guys, I have the biometrics done for my parents last year , and its still valid. They have a visitor visa, but now I am planning to apply for super visa for them. Do you know by chance will it take more time for processing at it shows on the website?

We provided a current balance letter from the Indian bank.
I have sent my in-law to Dubai to give her Biometrics. Covid test and visa are required to travel to Dubai and costs about 80k-1lakh for 3-4 days travel for 2 people (My in-law needs help so she has to take her son with her to Dubai).
Note: Only the person giving Biometrics is allowed inside VFS Dubai.

For question 1 a) purpose of travel, choose “other” from the drop-down menu.

I am not sure, it's best to call their customer support on Monday. If you have already done step 2 then I guess it should work. Sorry I am not a 100% , I just found this article an hour back
I don't see any harm in emailing them and follow instructions under section "What to do if you’ve already applied for a visitor visa". It says they will contact you within 14 days of receipt of the application. But I recommend discussing with an IRCC customer service rep first.
We are in same situation & applied back in August. Biometrics done but still no update yet.
I even delivered my baby now.
can i ask if mother is immediate member of PR/Citizen or Temporary resident?
