    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    I'm writing again hoping someone has an update. I applied for a visitor visa in Dec 2020 for my parents but could only do the biometrics in August 2021 because VFS offices in India were closed for temp resident visas related processing because of covid. The biometrics status is updated but I...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    I'm a PR holder and I applied for a visitor visa for my parents in Dec 2020 for my parents but could only do the biometrics in August 2021, my mum's biometric info was updated on the portal immediately but my dad's took a month even though its a single application. I haven't heard anything after...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    Thanks, I seen this too and I emailed that address with the mentioned details but this is the response I got "Please note that IRCC will only issue written authorization to an applicant who holds a valid Canadian travel document (i.e. electronic travel authorization [eTA] or visitor visa)...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    Yeah and its not about flights or covid situation. The very fact they allowed submission of applications on their site last year was incorrect - they should have stopped like how the VACs had a system in place to accept only certain types of applications or filter by country if they weren't...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    If you re-apply, you don't get a refund for the previous application (at least they said there's no guarantee). Also, I've seen threads where people applied in Sept (also submitted biometrics) and no new updates after; so I'm in a fix too - unsure if I should re-apply or just wait.

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    Yeah I agree. If they were not going to process the visas and VACs in India were not accepting biometrics then the IRCC website should not have allowed submissions till they were sure they would process them. They allowed people to put in applications - making payments in full and now they're...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    @amirshaikh88 I agree, I noticed that too so it might be pointless to re-apply right now especially since you may not get a refund. This is very unfair, the least that they can do is refund the processing fees especially if they're not going to process it (once cancelled) or at least provide...

    Visitor Visa Application (using the new IRCC Portal) INDIA updates

    @amirshaikh88 I think there is longer waiting period for those who applied before September 7th 2021. I tried calling but they are not entertaining any calls regarding this unless you want to cancel and re-apply but if you do so, there is no guarantee of a refund. I tried emailing but they...

    I'm a PR holder and I applied for a visitor visa for my parents in Dec 2020 for my parents but could only do the biometrics in august 2021, no updates yet. Does anyone know how long it'll take or if there's anyway to find out?
