Awesome news. Congratulations :) I'm in the same situation now , my wife did biometrics for TRV last year , so she doesn't need to give biometrics this time when I apply for TRV. She is from India , so all VACs are closed. My question is , if I submit her TRV now , is there any other additional step I need to do like contacting local MP like you did to change the processing office ? Or should i first apply and wait to see which VO it is being sent to initially ?

Appreciate your response to this in advance. Side note : We already submitted a spousal visa in June 2020 and is in pipeline , we just don't want to wait with this whole pandemic situation while we have no idea if that spousal application is even being touched. That is why I'm interested in submitting a TRV now.
I have a question for the TRV. In the first question form of the account, I mean the question form that is filled out before uploading the files. Do you put the option OTHERS also as in Imm 5257, put others on both sides?

Apply for a TRV in the normal way. If the outcome is not favourable, reach out to your local MP.

hi,

Since i didn't know that to prioritize my visitor visa application, i needed to put "other" in purpose of travel and under description field - i needed to write “COVID-19” as I am spouse (immediate family member) of Canadian permanent resident and eligible to travel to canada at this time.

can i resubmit imm5257e form via webForm? or is it too late ? or resubmit the visitor visa application ?
Hey I am in the same situation. What did you do?
