I tried to call them for a while I wasn’t able reach out, everytime it said agents are busy so i gave up I didn’t want to send them a webform and mess things up for their visitors visa so i decided i’ll let them visit once and apply supervisa next year.

I wonder how this happened? They must have made mistake or there is a glitch on new portal. You should raise web forms and call them.
They should be able to resolve. You should apply for GCMS notes to get the full picture?

Hi there, that is very unlikely. I had applied for parents supervisa as well. They have got PG-1 which is supervisa. Everything is same except when we fill IMM5257E in the column where 'Visa Type Requested' needs to be selected as 'Super Visa' instead TRV. I filed visa via GCKEY not used new portal. Passport request received within 10 days. IMO GCKEY is more fast than new process as I am still waiting results filed via New Portal almost same time, similar profile for my friend.

Under new portal i have already seen almost 10 cases this happened got visit visa instead of super visa. I selected all the right options even medical insurance was a mandatory document. But still got visit visa. I think GCMS is the way to go.

Seems that way. I've applied for GCMS notes. Let's see if they actually have a justification for this. I guess I won't get the notes before another month

We just got the passport and it has supervisa stamp (PG1). I applied using new portal from Canada. May be you mistakenly selected another option than supervisa?

Nope no mistake. We were required to upload insurance and medical which are only required for Super visa. I hope GCMS notes might help understand this.

Hi!
Today I am trying to select option why my parents will be visiting Canada. It has removed supervisa option from new portal

Supervisa is never guaranteed. VO can decide to only grant a TRV. They also only got a visa for 4 years so there are likely concerns about their application and they are being given a trial period. If they follow TRV rules and return home after their visit they will likely get granted a supervisa next time.

I called CBSA one of the 3 agents I talked to said if you are applying as a couple the primary applicant gets PG1 but secondary applicant gets V1 but you can stay for 2 years. I don't see it in writing anywhere. My dad got PG1 but my mom got V1. CBSA also suggested to call IRCC on this. Anyone got the answer to this???
