If you are applying via portal you can select the drop drop option of uniting with a family member. It also takes you to a page where you can give your UCI number so fill in the details and its good to go

Hey, I used the same old documents. But I suggest you not to reply as the CIC website has further updates and it recommends on not re-applying if you have no changes to your situation.

Did you get any update on your first/second application request? Please keep us posted when you on your passport request.

Hi All,

If we resubmit the application (Sep 7th notification), do we need to submit vaccination certificate? Is it a mandatory document?

 

[kool_suny]

There are two portals to apply. Which one is preferred and faster one ?
https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en
or
GC Key login ?

 

[kool_suny]

Have few question with new Portal
Is Family reunification a faster option to apply?
What is the nondiscretionary documents one need to upload ?
Also how exact the dates need to be ?
Do we get written authorization approved from IRCC directly with this ?
How long did the application took after submitted ?

Hi There,

Do you think I can apply for Supervisa application using the same IRCC portal and my prior visitor visa application will be withdrawn? Does this IRCC portal specific to visitor visa applications or gives you option to select supervisa application as well?

Your opinion/guidance is appreciated.

Thank you,

Congratulations!! Did you receive the biometrics validity letter before or after the PPR?

Yes received biometrics validity letter on both first and second app before PPR of second app.

 

[Jesse_mj]

Yes received biometrics validity letter on both first and second app before PPR of second app.

Another question though do you have a rough time estimate between the two? Validity letter and PPR?

 

[kool_suny]

Yes received biometrics validity letter on both first and second app before PPR of second app.

So you paid fees twice ? Also you found GC key application was faster ?
