Thanks Steaky. It might have been nice to have a ticket like when you're in line at the deli counter for a piece of cheese, or a few grams of salami or something.... I kinda sussed that it was nearly my turn when there was hardly anyone left that was in the hall when I went in.... all new people...

Super Visa update - anyone who's followed my other posts may recall that this took 2 applications, misinformation from ircc, change of criteria requiring biometrics and resulting processing of the first application after 25 months (processing at the time of application was 5 months)...

Congratulations dixo. I've read in another part of the forum about printing out on legal sized paper (8.5 x14) and making a few copies (3 or 4). A couple of folks have said it's such a relief after so much hard work to get the eCOPR that they've framed a copy as a proud achievement! I might...

I've read with interest the posts where parents are currently in Canada. This is my situation too - I'm the parent/grandparent and arrived last Oct with my passport for 6 months and applied for a Visitor Record since my Parent & Grandparent Super Visa (PGSV) application from May 2021 had fallen...

I received the pre arrival services letter today via email. Am I right in that it looks like Passport Request (PPR) could arrive imminently too or am I just wishfully hoping I've interpreted the spreadsheet correctly? And what a marvellous resource the spreadsheet is!! Huge amount of gratitude...

I've managed with google authenticator after working out the process between phone and laptop... the trouble is, it's as if no one actually 'walks through' any new process from a 'novice user'perspective these days. The issues folks have experienced are totally avoidable! I could write a book -...

Good Morning... another positive day! So, received email for medical yesterday, and got booked in, in Calgary, 9am tomorrow! Now, how to lose 4 stone (56lb ... round it up to 60lb) and appear the pinnacle of health in 22 hours.... what do you think folks? Achievable without removal of still...

Hi Admins Could you update the spreadsheet please for Vivien Mather - for a start I should have put my name as my handle on here.... Hymerista - if you could change that please.... then, I've had my invitation to get medical booked within next 30 days as of todays date 17th July. police...

I can see the sense in that.... I just wish there were crystal clear rules written down for everyone to see.... when 'rules' require interpretation, you can get them SO wrong!! Looks like its a trip backto Blighty for me then eh? Ah well... chance to tie up some more loose ends as well as have a...

Thanks Canuck 78....I'm aware of the temporary residence status that I absolutely comply with, and I'm not looking to live in Canada permanently whilst here on a Visitor Record and then a Super Visa, I know my responsibility to comply - but I also have sponsorship being processed which will give...

It's been a long haul, but finally I have received a letter of confirmation that my Super Visa has been approved. Question is... I'm in Canada with a Visitor Record until Dec 2023. Since the SV gets activated coming into Canada by Border Control, is it acceptable to say pop across into Montana...

Yes, exactly what I did... obtained the biometrics within 48 hours of applying again on the new portal while back in the UK. Also had a Visitor Record awaiting approval, which was negated after I left Canada. However... on relanding 5 weeks later, VR approved with new dates within a couple of...

Having just done biometrics for a new Super Visa application in May 2023, the associated paperwork does say that biometrics issued for temporary residency can be used for future temporary resident applications whilst they are in date, however they are not accepted for permanent resident...

Try waiting 450 days plus with no indication of any movement. Cruel, inhumane and immoral in my opinion to accept applications and give false hope with totally unachievable processing times and service level targets..... my whole life is in limbo in their black hole!!

Don't hold your breath .... I applied from UK 2 days before you. Still nothing! I don't believe I'll ever get one with the current processing issues. Its downright cruel and inhumane.

I understand the return ticket as proof is now 'optional' as per ircc site. However, can I ask when the initial application was made. I applied May 2021 and still waiting with absolutely no relevant update or information available!

436 days and counting since I applied for a P&GP Supervisa. Processing times from the UK (until recently when they stopped publishing potential timeframes), when I applied was 205 days, reducing over the year to as low as 125/6. Despite selecting the monthly updates option on my profile page, I...

I applied for PaGSV May 2021. I received an automated email in Sept 21 indicating I'm not to think I'm forgotten about.... I did an up front medical and of course have the medical insurance arranged. The published processing times have both increased and currently substantially reduced to 126...
