Hello,
Thanks for the info.

I am assuming you had not applied before sept 7th first?

Other than the biometric request, did you get any updates before? (Started eligibity, etc)

Thanks!!

Hi All,

I applied for my parents visitor visa in September 2020 and since then was waiting for the Biometric centers to open in India. Finally, parents got their biometrics done on 10th August 2021 and no reply from CIC since then.
I recently heard about this new IRCC portal and created an account on it today. However, when i click on create new visitor visa application on the new IRCC portal its giving me an error as below since morning. Anyone come across this before?

Dear All,

I am planning to visit my sister in Canada. I am currently working in Qatar. The company name on my residency permit in Qatar and the company I work for are different. How will this affect my visit visa application when I submit my residency permit and current employment related documents.

Anyone who faced similar issue and tackled this, please help me out.
