Here is an update regarding our case:

Today we received Visitor Acknowledgement letter. But we applied for Super Visa. Why did they not sent Super visa Acknowledgment letter? Anyone else under same situation. I am worried if they will consider my application under Visitor Visa.

I have applied for my parents Super visa file on 26th Feb 2019. More timelines are in my previous post

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN:

Today we have received this email:
Dear XXXXXXXXXX



Thank you for the time you have taken to complete your application. We have received your application and it is currently in process.



Your application number: XXXXXXXXXX

This is your file number, and it is specifically for this application and anything to do with this application - like documents we ask you to submit, or medical exams we ask you to undergo connected to this file number. It’s yours and yours alone.
Please use this application number for any communication with us about this file.



Your Unique Client Identifier (UCI): XXXXXXXXXXXX

This is your unique identification number, it’s all about YOU and every application you make is connected to your UCI. It is as unique as you are. You will keep this same UCI for all the subsequent applications you may submit to our department in the future.



There are some things you can do to help us to process:

§ Check your Online Account to check for status updates, and upload any documents that we request through your online account. Documents submitted this way reach an officer faster. To create an Online Account take note of your application number above, and visit our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp.

§ Please send all attachments (for example: new passport information) in PDF format for faster processing.

§ Please do not send us documents unless we have requested them. Your application is in queue for processing and sending us information we have not requested pulls resources away from file processing. If we need information, we will contact you.

§ Be patient. Your application is in queue for processing and we will contact you if we need any additional information.



Did you know? Sending case status enquiries or multiple documents takes resources away from file processing, resulting in longer processing times. We know you want to be sure we received your message, but sending us the same information multiple times pulls resources away from file processing, resulting in longer processing times for everyone.



Please remember we will contact you through the contact details you provided if any information is required or when your application is ready to be finalized. We appreciate your patience and ask that you contact our office ONLY if there is a change in:



· your passport

· your mailing address, e-mail address, or phone number

· other NEW information relevant to your application (for example, you want to withdraw your application, or you want to add /revoke a representative)



If you need to update your information, send it to our office once, using only one method (Online Account or the Web form on the IRCC website oremail). Please remember it is important to use your XXXXXX for any communication with us about this file.
its just a confirmation that you application is in processs. if you wana make sure just call cic and confirm woth them

IMO, it seems like either incorrect communication from IRCC.... or a case of mistaken identity. Either way, don't worry.


You can:
1. Order GCMS notes.... just to get her application to the top of the processing queue, and

2. Request your MP's office to inquire with IRCC for the delay (you won't be told why the background checks are being done). That said, your MP cannot influence a visa decision
Dear Bryanna,

Thank you for your response. I got the passport request for my mom just few hours ago!! Finally! Really relieved and happy! Thanks alot!

That's strange. Did she sign and include the IMM 5476 form (Use of representative)? Maybe not.

It's good that your mom has been informed that her application is being considered for super visa.



As she has passed the medicals, you can expect a decision pretty soon. The Manila VO is quite understanding. Don't worry :)
Hi @Bryanna

Thanks for all the help. I am very surprised with how fast Manila VO has processed my mom's super visa application. As I have mentioned in my previous posts, I was scared that they'd consider my mom's application as a regular visit visa application due to our mistake in answering the questionnaire. They replied to my mom and she was told that her application has been categorized as PG-1 Super Visa. Yesterday, I received a message in her account requesting for medicals even though the status a a week ago in the medical exam field was 'You passed the medical exam'. I got confused so I sent a CSE to Manila VO informing them that she did an upfront medical exam. The status on the medical field was then changed back to passed.

Anyway, my mom received a call from the VO this morning, and she was told to disregard the previous messages (which I assume is the medical request), and she was told that she'll receive a new message in her account within the day. My mom called me as I am the one who has access to her online application, and to my surprise, I saw 2 new messages. One is the Biometrics Correspondence, and the other one is the Original Passport Request!!! I am very happy, although kinda confused why it took only a 2 weeks for her to get approved. Do you think this normal for complete applications? I am still very nervous.

I would like to share my mom's timeline for those who are applying in the Philippines, or whose application is being processed in Manila VO.

This is super fast, super fantastic and super wonderful :):)

Yes, she will be issued a PG-1 super visa. That's a certainty.

The Manila visa office does give visa decisions pretty fast. In your mom's case, it was also because she had submitted upfront medicals. So don't worry

What is the letter of correspondence you received? Or did you mean an acknowledgement of your application?

Hey Bryanna,

It said Correspondence letter essentially stating that they have received the bio metrics and that they are valid for 10 years.

Thank you,

As medicals were passed and going by the trend we've seen here (decisions are given almost instantly after receiving the biometrics validity letter), you will most likely get a passport request soon
