Applied on Jan 14, 2022. My eligibility status changed on Jan 19, 2022 and no updates since. Looks like this is not an indicator of how close we are to the final decision anymore.

Quick update:
Received BVL today. No PPR/Final decision yet.

Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice on the new IRCC portal. My friend used the new IRCC portal to apply for her visitor visa instead of GCkey, without checking the eligibility. She has given her biometrics and submitted all the documents as requested in the portal. I wanted to know if this will be a problem for her visa decision? Has anyone been in the same situation? Please advice.

Thank you!

It might.. depends on whether she meets eligibility or not

Thank you! By eligibility, do you mean her eligibility to travel to Canada?

Just to clarify, her purpose of the visit is not eligible to use the IRCC portal for a visitor visa as she is coming here to visit a friend. But she applied through it without prior knowledge. She should have applied through the GCkey instead. But she is fully vaccinated and is eligible to travel when she gets a visa.

So if she is not eligible to apply via IRCC portal yet she went ahead with it.. that means she might have to select a "not accurate" option to continue with the application. Chances are she might get rejected but who knows.. these are crazy times
