Hello,

I applied tourist visa for my MIL last January 2021 and kept on sending the exception webform. I received this email last August 30th:


We have received your enquiry and can confirm that a review of your application remains in process. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be in touch with you when a final decision is made or if more information is required. To obtain more information, please fill out the IRCC Web form in order for it to be sent to the responsible Canadian visa officedirectly.

Due to the ongoing situation, IRCC offices are experiencing processing delays. Rest assured that they are making all the necessary efforts to process requests as soon as possible; however, having to respond to status updates on applications will affect the processing times.

Also note that during the review of your file, you are not considered to hold a valid Travel document. As such, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada until you are advised.


Should I submit a new application through IRCC or just wait? This is what I see on the website:

Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.

Please help I am beyond desperate.

thank you so much.

Hello dear,
If my application is under reviewing, what do u recommend?
If paying the $100 is not an issue, apply again and send them your old application number. They have a massive backlog and want t to attend to essential visits only at this time.
