I can confirm I have the same issue. My family of 4 are PRs, residing in Singapore. I applied for my fifth baby's TRV using the GCKey portal (my personal account) stating all the reasons for travel etc (we are moving permanently there in June). I applied on Feb 20, 2022, but still waiting. Sending an inquiry using website form did not result in anything (just keep waiting, we will let you know if we need anything). Our flight is on the 4th of June 2022, does anyone have any suggestions? Or am I panicking too early?
Unfortunately we are at the mercy of the system I guess. I've requested for the GCMS notes to check where it might be stuck - hopefully that sheds some light into the application. Else, I am thinking of reapplying with the new portal in a few weeks' time with me as the representative. Honestly this has been quite stressful - not sure why they would take so much time to process infant applications when they clearly don't need background/security checks.

Where are you located and how long have you been waiting? What is the URL of the new portal?

True. No biometrics /BG check for kids.. Still waiting for a long time. I think they have excluded minor (kids) files in processing. This is a technical glitch and many parents are stuck and waiting for a long time. Not sure whether kids are excluded due to vaccination status. You can join this above WhatsApp group. We have to complain this issue (kids files not getting picked up for processing) to IRCC.

We are in a similar situation as yours both me and my prtner and PRs and applied for our infant daughters TRV on 17th Feb 2022 since we are moving back to Canada in Aug 2022. No movement in the application despite Singapore visa office showing a 32 days processing time. IRCC's webform responses havent been particularly useful either and at this point I am worried if the application will be processed by August.
There is some issue and kids TRV applications are not even getting processed. We have to complain this to IRCC. Join the WhatsApp group. Let's discuss..

Can't predict anything and book tickets.. Not sure when ircc is going to notice the issue and process the kids (minor) Visitor TRV files.

That is a relief. My husband is already in Canada and we are planning to start the Family sponsorship once myself and baby reaches over there. So TRV would be helpful to first land in Canada.
Can you tell me if you chose less than 6 months or more in the Period of stay when you were applying for TRV ?

Applied straight for TRP for my newborn on June 27. Both parents are PR holders outside Canada.
No news yet, but expecting something in November/December.

Anyone else got PPR for their kids lately?
