Hi, has anyone got visitor visa approved without meeting requirement for travel exemption today?
- Thread starter Cytus51
- Start date
Only speculation but think maybe separate the need to qualify for a visitor visa versus the travel restrictions/exemptions. Not sure whether qualifying for an exemption or not would make much difference in getting an application approved versus actually qualifying whether COVID were present or not. In any case as you know getting a visa approved still doesnt guarantee entry whether exempt or not, this is of course down to CBSA at the POE.
Just have to be patient as maybe you already gathered there is likely a significant backlog and even if someone else says they were approved means nothing given every application is of course unique
On positive side current restriction extended to Jul 31 and isolation plan requirement to end August so at least some positive even if gets extended again at least was not a 6 month extension straight off in either case.

Thank you very much for the reply.
When I applied in March, the travel schedule that I attached shows that I was planning to travel in June(I gave the exact date). But I did mention the date may be changed if the COVID-19 keeps going.
because it’s already July, I hope they won’t reject me because of the date I put there...
Others can comment but the date you put on an application generally isnt relevant as opposed to purpose of visit , length of stay and so on. Once you are approved you can go to Canada any time whilst the visa is valid other than that no travel date constraint. In normal times it just gives IRCC an approximate time someone is planning to travel and together with purpose/length just adds to impression have a plan, it doesnt prioritise anything as far as anyone knows.
Hi.. I am a PR and I would like to bring my parents and sister on visit by November for my delivery.. so they did apply for a visitor visa from Dubai. They did the biometrics and now it’s showing background check going on. But, do we also have to show a quarantine plan? If so, does anyone have a format of the plan? Please do share!
thanks!
thanks!
Under the current restrictions your sister would not be able to travel. No quarantine plan needed to apply for TRV. Your parents will need to quarantine for 2 weeks if approved. I assume you are a PR or citizen or your parents can’t currently travel to Canada.
So does that mean even if we apply for tourist (leisure, traveling only) visa now, with a letter explaining that we are only going to travel when the restrictions are lifted, Application will 100% get denied?
No - it doesn't mean that. The application may be approved however travel won't be possible until restrictions are lifted.
