Hi guys, I got PHAC approval two weeks ago but my parent’s visitor’s visa has not been approved yet. Running out of time as they have to travel within one month of getting PHAC approval. Is anyone experiencing same?

Did you mailed them. Once approved you will get a single entry visa, so you will be able to come even if phac expires.

Yes, email was sent to them same day I got my parent’s PHAC approval

Yes, email was sent to them same day I got my parent’s PHAC approval. Today is the 11th business day, still no approval from IRCC. Should I send a webform if I don’t get an approval by the end of this week?

This seems incorrect. We need valid PHAC and TRV to travel. So travel needs to be within time before PHAC expires.

I applied for my daughter's temporary resident visa online on November 12, 2020 from outside Canada. Me and my wife both are PR. I am currently living in Canada but my wife went to India for some other reason but she had to deliver our baby in India. No updates to the application yet.

Anyone else in the same boat ?
Please share timelne

Guys,

What is PHAC Approval and how can we apply for it ?

I thought so too. I really hope approval is given soon. I might re-apply for PHAC if it expires. I am hoping for the best

Friends,
Need one help.

My Mother received Bio-Metrics letter on November 23 2020, but as VAC offices were closed in India Bio-Metrics cannot be done.
She got this message in it.

You must visit a biometric collection service point to have your fingerprints scanned and
photograph taken on or before Feb 23 2021.

If the biometrics collection site closest to you is closed, we’ll automatically extend your deadline to give your biometrics.

Can i still give Biometrics in Dubai., as the deadline is already crossed.?

Please Help.
