Visitor visa application for my mother in the Philippines

[dip23]

Hello there!
Please help..I just got my Canadian visitor’s visa granted for a year. I am currently in France. Unfortunately, my mom & sister who are in the Philippines were refused. Now, I wanted to reapply a visa for my mom first. Can I do it even if I am not in the Philippines? Thank you

Your mother can apply for a TRV online. If there is any reason for your mother to attend a visa centre, she will likely need to do it in the Philippines.

Thanks..but my mom is not good with the net that is why i would like to do it for her from France. Another thing, if I do it for her, I need to submit my application as well because of the form about the use of representative. should i just apply online & say that she was the one applying & not by a representative?

What you're asking there is whether or not you should misrepresent a material fact on an application.

Actually, I don’t mind applying on her behalf & filling up the representative form but if i fill up the rep form,it automatically thinks that I am applying for a visa as well..which i am not because i just got it..

The system will not think that the representative is applying for a visa. What you may have done is started an application and selected that you are applying for a family member. The application believes that the person filling out the form is the principal applicant, and by saying you are also filling out for a family member, it expects you to submit for two visas.

Yes,that is what I did,so what should I do? Should i say that i am not applying for a family member? So the principal applicant will be my mom,where does that representative form appear?

Your mom must fill/sign the IMM 5476 form (Use of representative) where you are a 'Family member' and 'Uncompensated representative'

Hello there,
Thanks for the previous replies. I have another concern, it’s about my mom’s account,should i make a new account or use the account she used which was refused?

 

[k.h.p.]

Why would you create a new account? You already have to disclose that she has had a visa refused.

 

[dip23]

Yes but I would like her to try to apply again.

 

[dip23]

Because if she makes another account,she has to pay for the biometrics again or I don’t know if there’s a portion there where it asks if she has had her biometrics taken..
With her old account,she just have to update the documents she submi

So again, why would you create a new one? You have to apply again. Pay the $100 again. You don't need to pay biometrics again. Just use the same account

The thing is I cannot upload any more documents into her old account. Can you please tell me what to do or where to click in order to update the old documents
