There's no guarantee that it will assist with your file. There are applicants whose parents are in canada on supervisa, and they have been able to do virtual landing and for others, it has not made a difference. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are visiting over christmas, IRCC will be closed down so there won't be much going on.

Once you return to the US, you will have to once again update your address to your US address.
Thank you for your insight. I guess if we come to Toronto it will be primarily to see family. It seems there is no sure way to speed up the process. So annoying, especially with medicals expiring in February. Ah well.

Don't worry about medical expiry as in few cases medicals have been extended another year. At present, the most important thing is to be safe from the effects of pandemics.

Hey! My parents live in India. The VFS opened today for biometrics for family class. I am trying to book biometrics appointment by filling out the webform. I just need assistance in filling out the webform for biometrics. My father is the primary applicant and mother is dependent. When I try to fill out the form its asking me how many applicants, if I put 2 then the system does not let me use BIL# (application#) twice. My parents are on the same application and have the same application number. If I put 1 applicant and application number, the system lets me move forward but does not give me the option to add a dependent. Both of them need to provide biometrics. Has anyone dealt with this? Please help!

Hi, I and a couple of other users on this thread encountered the same issue. I have sent an email to VFS but no updates as of now. If I hear back, I will post it here.

There is nothing to worry, still lot of applications are in process for May month even some from April also. Yours is 3rd week of June so it may take some time. Because of pandemic the schedule has been changed. IRCC is also trying to clear the backlog as 2020 pgp and next 2021 pgp application will be entered in the system. Have patience and hopefully some good news will come soon.

Does lockdown in Toronto and Peel will affect IRCC/CPC Mississauga ? Or their staff are already WFH so NO impact??? THOUGHTS...??
It may impact if conditions will not improve. Present Ottawa is still better than other places in Ontario.
