are you getting any sms or emails regarding current status. once the visa is stamped you can see in CIC account that VISA has been approved. Then only they ship it back. So keep an eye in CIC account.
Yes, I am. IRCC started processing passport on Mar 22. No update since then, even CIC account does not have counterfoil details. M stressed bcoz plan is to travel on April 3, that's next Sat.

I know its very frustrating that it is getting delayed. After you see the change in CIC account passport will reach back within 2-3 days

Test was free. If you have any relatives in dubai you can stay with them. there are no restrictions for that. my mother stayed with my relatives till getting covid results. You may get visa in 48 hrs for dubai. but if you try to book an appointment for biometrics you will get a date mostly after 2 weeks in dubai. but in abu dhabi you can get date any time. but the quarantine rules are different in abu dhabi.
Thank you for the info. That was really helpful.

no quarantine in dubai. when we arrive the airport they will do covid test and will get the result on next day. after getting the result we can go to vfs office. my mother reached dubai on one evening and next day morning we got the result. did biometrics on following day and on the same day evening she came back to India. Total 3 days.
Hi @BC-PNP, did you have to change anything in their visa application to be able to submit biometrics in Dubai? In other words, did you have to mention Dubai anywhere in their application?

Hi, I applied for my wife's TRV along with PHAC approval but we received the final result today and they've refused the application on the following ground:

"I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit/, based on your current employment situation/, based on the limited employment prospects in your country of residence./based on your personal assets and financial status./R, based on your family ties in Canada and in your country of residence??

does anyone has similar experience on what to do about this?

Regards

Sorry to hear that. If you dont mind can you please mention the current employment of your spouse? Is there any strong ties of your spouse to home country?

If she is unemployed that could be the biggest reason of rejection.And regarding your question i think you better to wait for PR now instead applying again for TRV.

Hi,

1. I applied for visit visa using the instructions in the below link:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html

Step 2: Fill out the form
When answering the question on the application form about the purpose of travel, enter the following information exactly as written to make sure your application is prioritized:

  • For question 1 a) purpose of travel, choose “other” from the drop-down menu.
  • For question 1 b) description field, write “COVID-19” exactly like this (you must use capital letters).


2. Submitted application for PHAC approval (mentioned UCI number)

3. Got a single entry visa in a week.
For step 2, does this indicate the question "What is the main purpose of your visit?", as I cannot find where to input description field, does that appear after I select "Other"?

Where are you looking for the field ? It’s in the form to be submitted and not questionaire
