I have applied for a visit visa (TRV) for my parents and received a request for biometric.
Both of them gave their biometrics together on 22 Dec in Dubai. Both of their application pages showed their biometric number and biometric enrollment date and the status is “submitted”.
However, only only my mother's application (secondary applicant) started showing a status update saying "Biometrics completed - 22- Dec-2020".
But there is no such update on my father's application page (my father is the primary applicant).
Timelines:
Visa Applied: 22nd Sep 2020
Biometrics Instruction Letter Recieved: 23rd Sep 2020
Biometrics Submitted: 22nd Dec 2020 (in Dubai)
So, I am filling out forms online for super visa. Under proof of relationship, whose birth certi do I need to put, parents or mine or combine both in one pdf file?
Also, in application how much do I have to put in Funds Available for my stay (cad)?
She does not have much less than 1lakh rupees in bank, no job, no pension. Of course I am sponsoring and will be helping her financial. What should I put in this question? Should I enter how much I am willing to locate for her or how much she has in her bank?
Keep in mind that the expiry date on the visa issued is 90-days from the date of issue. Not 90-days from the date of flight departure.
If anyone is able to overcome this with Border services, please advise.
Congratulations on getting Visa for your in-laws. Can you provide the following information -
Did you book the flight tickets when CIC asked for the travel itinerary and publish the exact ticket details to CIC?
For how long is this Visa/letter valid as in for how long are your in-laws allowed to stay in Canada?
Thank you. Really appreciate if you could answer these two questions. I have received the Travel Itinerary request from CIC. I'm just confused about if I should I book the tickets before sending the Travel Itinerary details to CIC.

HI @varunchauhan could you please tell us if you followed the PHAC route? if yes then did you gave biometrics? Thankyou and also share your timeline please.
There are limited wheelchairs and should only be requested if people have mobility issues so those with actual health issues can secure a wheelchair. There are plenty of airport employees that are happy to help direct any first time travelers and who speak many languages.
Would add that this family seems have gotten lucky but the majority of IRCC agents do not consider pregnancy to fall under compassionate visas. This is really for emergency situations like funerals, sudden health issues, imminent death, etc. Others may also get lucky as well but it should not be expected since there are many other parents who have been denied TRVs or been told that this isn't considered an urgent request.
Step 2: Fill out the form
When answering the question on the application form about the purpose of travel, enter the following information exactly as written to make sure your application is prioritized:
For question 1 a) purpose of travel, choose “other” from the drop-down menu.
For question 1 b) description field, write “COVID-19” exactly like this (you must use capital letters).
This application process is for foreign nationals who will be entering Canada and staying in their place of quarantine for the full 14-day quarantine period to:
be present during the final moments of life for a loved one
provide support or care to someone who’s critically ill
provide care for a person who has a medical reason as to why they require support --- this applicable to us
You can apply using the Application for Entry Form. Make sure you have everything you need before starting. You won’t be able to save the form for completion later.
Fill out all required fields on page 1 of the application.
There are 2 pages in total. Clicking ‘Next’ to get to page 2 doesn’t submit information or your application.
Submit your application through the secure portal.
You’ll receive an immediate message indicating, 'Submission completed successfully.'
You’ll also receive a receipt email with an application number.
Your application will be assessed by the Public Health Agency of Canada. We’ll confirm that your request meets the requirements for entry for compassionate reasons.
Note:
1. If you applied for a visit visa already, while submitting PHAC approval: just select the option (applied for visitor visa) and enter UCI Number. You will receive a single entry TRV visa in a week.
2. My in-law completed Biometrics in Dubai but I think if anyone has PHAC approval they don't have to give biometrics.
3. I have not sent any email to CIC.
What is PHAC? When you apply for super visa, do you need to fill out? Also, how did you guys submit bank statement and what if you have multiple passport that has stamp. how did you guys submit it online? do you combine in one pdf and submit it?

The same with my parents' applications. Main applicant's (mother's) has not been updated while father's has been updated.
Bimetrics done - 9 Dec. still waiting for updates.
Hey, Can you let us know, for how long her Passport was stamped at the port of Entry? Also, did you book the tickets at the time of providing the itinerary to CIC or post that?
@dsinghd : Yes I followed the PHAC route. My parents biometric was done in March before the VAC closure.
