Hi, i resubmitted a new application on Sep 9th but did not get biometrics instructions yet, how long did it take for you to get it after your new application submission? When i first applied on Sep 4th, i got biometrics instructions just within 24hrs. I did not give my biometrics the first time yet. Will I get another biometrics instructions for the second application or as I did not give my biometrics for the first application yet, will I not get the biometric instructions one more time?

I have a question- i applied for my husband under spousal PR in September 2020 and we are still waiting for an update. Can anyone suggest if we should apply for visitor visa under this new ircc portal?

Hello @legalfalcon,

I have applied for my parent's visitor's visa on August 6, 2021. It's not that urgent for them to travel right away, we wanted to have a visitor visa on their passport if there is a need in the future to travel. We are planning to invite parents next year any time after March. So, do we still need to re-apply again?

No, if your parents do not intend to travel immediately, you do not have to apply again.

" if you already told us that you qualify for a COVID-19 exemption", I already applied and my application is under reviewing, Im fully vaccinated with PFizer vaccine and vaccination cards already attached to application in Client information , is vaccination makes me qualified for COVID-19 exemption? If yes, How to inform them about COVID-19 exemption?

When you submit a new application, the older one gets withdrawn, that's what the ircc says. So much confusion around here.

I think it was a mistake they made since the next day they changed it to " if you submitted your application and you status didn't change you don't have to reapply"
