Hello, I reapplied for a trv under the circumstances that my situation has changed: change from maiden name to married name, a new job, travel dates changed.

Purpose is for immediate family reunification (spouse - citizen)

First trv application: March 2, 2021
Biometrics completed: March 5, 2021

Second application: September 18, 2021
I have included my UCI in the documents that I submitted in my second application. I updated all my documents including the passport (my name has changed to married name), financial documents, invitation letter (my travel dates have changed). With the second application, I've noticed that I have a different UCI (not the one that I mentioned - which was the one in my first application). I also noticed that the biometrics area is empty at the moment.

Just a few minutes ago, I received an email that there's an update in my 2nd application. I checked but nothing has changed.

Has anyone experienced this? I'm a bit confused and anxious.

Hi. I applied for TRV on 18 September thru GC key. Just few minutes I also got ghost email but no any changes in status of application. Even mine biometrics not updated yet.

May I know why did you apply through GCkey instead of ircc portal?
Hello, no other reason other than I already have an account with gckey. I haven't read anything that says I should apply in the new portal. Please let me know if that's the case.

I'm wondering. To those who got passport requests, what was the reason of your visit? Was it to visit family/friends or other: COVID19?

thank you

Received a ghost update today saying: "Your application status has changed". I logged in and checked, but nothing was changed. Is this normal?

Submission Date: 18 Sep 2021
Biometrics Completed: 22 July 2021 (Biometrics was updated into the application right away)
Final Decision: Waiting

Hello, my wife applied for a visitor visa back in May, it got rejected in last week of august. Now our situation has changed as we have already applied for her spousal sponsorship and wanted to give another try by applying for visitors visa again. Please suggest should I go with gckey or the new portal? Will it make any difference?
P.S : It will be a new application after rejection.

There is a two option portal or gc key. Both get processed. You don’t need to get confused. Mostly portal used by immigration lawyers to submit multiple applications. If an individual can open gc key to submit their secure application
