Hi Ravi

IRCC is backlogging all visitor visa applications until September 2021 with the new travel restrictions. So when you apply for a visitor visa they are unaware of the application urgency you might have. At present they are only processing applications for people who are exempt from travelling to Canada which includes people on study permit and work permit. You need to inform them about your application if you've already applied or apply in a certain way if you haven't applied yet

Here's the link that explains how to apply and what to do if you've already applied for a visitor visa : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html

My urgency to travel back home was due to a medical emergency and I need to travel back to Canada as I am currently employed here and will need a visitor visa to enter Canada. However if you do not have a medical emergency you are still exempt from the travel restrictions as you are either a foreign worker or a student.
So to convince them you need to show the documents that prove you normally live in Canada (for eg: currently employed letter , recent pay stubs , latest credit card bills , lease documents , etc)

There is a format you need to follow and email them which is in the link I have provided and even the email address is in that link itself

I would advice that you go through that link thoroughly and send one email telling them that you are exempt from the travel restrictions

I hope this helps and feel free to reach out to me

Hi Adnan - did you send email to ircc.covid-travelexemptions-exemptionsdevoyage-covid.ircc@cic.gc.ca ? I have sent email to this address for over 10 days and there is no reply. I have attached sufficient proof (tickets, death certificate etc.) in the email stating my urgency.

Just I got a mail that my TRV application is transferred to New Delhi. I submitted web form to expedite with all proofs. Does anybody know how much time New Delhi office taking to process VISA here. Is any similar case? Please suggest.
Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone,

I got my work permit in Dec 2020 and after that I applied for a TRV on Jan 25 2021. I still haven't gotten any response on the application and its under "Submitted" status and its way past the normal processing times - which is 76 days according to IRCC website.I have an emergency and I have to go to India by the end of April and couldn't really get any information from IRCC on why the process is taking this long or how I can speed up the process.

Anyone have the same problem or any solutions on how to speed up the process?

Thank you.

Hi everyone, how are you all? I need a suggestion regarding my study permit. I got a refusal on February 21 after receiving AIP and yes I have re-applied, currently, the medical update and review started already. Yesterday I got a mail from IRCC stating a "Request Letter" where they want me to upload an updated LOA, however, I have uploaded the LOA but the question is while re-applying I did upload the LOA. I am a little worried and trying to find out is it a positive sign?
