Happy to hear that finally, you are now in Canada. I am actually not hoping for an exact 2 weeks processing but at least make it priority processing than the normal 39 weeks processing in UAE.


Hows your travel going to Canada? Which airport? Can you share some details / experience? Which country you are from and the 14 days quarantine? How it's like from the airport to Canada?
Any update on your application this month?

I applied in March under the GTS stream from USA, but the application got stuck because of Covid and I couldn't give biometrics. I finally gave my biometrics yesterday, but have no idea how much time they will now take to process the visa. I am yet to hear of anyone getting their visa in under 2 weeks. Worst is, I have to leave USA in 6 weeks. Moving my family from here to Canada is much easier than going all the way back to India under current circumstances.

PLEASE HELP with the following: I received the additional document request from IRCC.

"Police Certificate: From Australia - please note: If you live or have lived in Queensland, you must submit a traffic history with your police certificate that goes back to your 18th birthday or the day on which your first Australian driver’s licence was issued."

I lived in Australia for my Master study for 2 years.. but I never had a Australian Driving License or I didn't own/drive any vehicles in Australia. I have only Police certificate from Australia.. what should I send? Should I send Police Certificate from Australia and attach with a letter explaining why I am unable to provide a traffic history ??

Please help.Thank you.

Best to search on forum for similar cases. Before you submit docs through web form.

do you think you got the update after the web form you submitted with a letter from your employer?

I applied my GTS online from Singapore where I live..
Today, I received the following email from Singapore VO:

"
Thank you for your enquiry to the Migration Section of the High Commission of Canada to Singapore.
As your application is being processed by our office in CPC Edmonton, please submit your enquiry/information using the Case Specific Enquiry form.

To change your address, check your application status, or pay fees please visit the My Immigration or Citizenship Application webpage.
If enquiries are not submitted through the Case Specific Enquiry link, they may not be responded to.
We hope this information will be of assistance."


Should I worry about the fact that my application is being processed in CPC Edmonton? Is this a sign of significant delay/refusal to be processed in CPC Edmonton? Because I live in Singapore and applied online for GTS..
Did you receive a biometrics correspondence letter or not?
