Visitor visa via IRCC portal
- Thread starter S15
- Start date
Congratulations. Good to know some people are actually getting answers. We have waited almost 4 months. What country did you apply from?
Yes I also helped a friend submit the application online from India and he is waiting over 6 months. It is frustrating to say the least
This application was submitted using the IRCC portal. The Portal applications are all processed in Ottawa. However if you ask IRCC the agent would say it is with the Visa processing nearest to your current address which is WRONG
MP can often just get you status and sometimes additional info
There was a time when MP gave a support letter etc and helped expediting but not anymore
It got stuck at background check... It sucks as we mentioned the travel plan for one month starting in September, wondering what if the travel plan timeline would pass and still we didn't see any progress about the application!!
Bit confused as currently we applied under portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca after creating the account and showing all details about the application. Is there any other way to apply for visitor visa as people here are talking about two methods as I'm not sure if we are on the right track or used the slowest platform instead of fastest platform??
i) IRCC Portal (which i assumed i used)
ii) GC Key (which i assume is same as (i) )
At the beginning of your application you are asked a few questions. Based on that, system recommends which one to choose.
Travel plans can pass. Ours have already passed in June but file will still be processed. There’s no faster way, and files remain in background check, processing, and sometimes eligibility starts and stays on, or many time eligibility doesn’t even get updated until the day you get passport request.
just have to wait now.
