Thank you for the heads up - I will do my due dilligence and try and get as much backup documentation as proof of not being married. Quick question - When applying for both in-land sponsorship & open work permit at the same time - is it true that the spouse can start working as soon as the...

Hello - This is my situation - I am a Canadian Citizen living in Canada. My Fiancée is a Kenyan citizen living in Hungary with a Hungarian work permit tied to her job. She holds a valid Canadian visitor visa. We intend on getting married in her home country of Kenya in January. Can anyone...

When all the processing has been completed, they will specifically ask you to submit the passport - that is the final stage.

The wait times have been very inconsistent throughout - so you can apply 5 months in advance but you may get your visa in just 1 month or you might still be waiting 6 months later. Sorry but its reality right now and you'll see it all over the forums.

Mon ami, très peu de gens peuvent comprendre le français ici. Peut-être que vous pouvez utiliser google translate et publier en anglais de cette façon, vous aurez plus de chances d'obtenir une réponse directe à votre message !

None unfortunately, applied for gcms notes a few days ago but i doubt they will respond because the processing time has almost tripled since we put in the application so they will just disregard since its still technically within "processing time".

Do not reapply when you already have an application in the old way.

This crazy backlog is really demotivating.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. My situation is much the same except its my fiancé and because of the wait, things have gotten pretty bad relationship wise. We applied for her visitor visa on Aug 17 and biometrics was updated on Aug 25 - all done through the portal. Since then, its been...

So my friend who applied from the IRCC online portal from Hungary is not a European citizen and needs a TRV to visit Canada. She has a full time job in Hungary with a valid work permit and bank accounts to back it all up. Hence i assumed it wouldn't be a major hassle getting this TRV. She has...

Why do you say Austria embassy is not working?

My friend applied online through the IRCC Portal from Hungary for tourist visa (will be processed in austria office). They submitted thier application on Aug 17 and Biometrics was submitted on Aug 25. Application is stuck in "background check" ever since. What's your application story? I think...

Really frustrated - A friend applied for visitor visa in Hungary using the online portal on Aug 17. Biometrics was received on Aug 25. They're still stuck in "Background check". Just applied for the GCMS notes yesterday and the request under the Privacy Act today (because my friend is a foreign...

We do not have a processing time showing on our profile. When I say processing time, I am referring to the general processing time on the government website.

I have the same issue. Submitted application on Aug 17, 2022 and biometrics was received a week later. We are still stuck in "background check" stage since then. And the processing time keeps increasing day by day.

For your spouse visitor visa - what kind of proof did your spouse show that they will return back to the home country after visiting you? As this is a major point of proof that you have to show.

Damn, i applied through the new portal and i'm wondering if the new portal has ended up being slow now compared to regular IRCC GCKey?

Wow, that is super fast compared to most people on the visit visa forum!
