Hello @hossamb88, did you get a decision on your application? I also submitted a Visitor Visa application on October 7, 2021 (had biometrics already) and submitted a travel exemption enquiry on October 11, 2021. The application is in the Ankara VO and I have not heard anything since submission.

You no longer require travel exemption form since September 7 if you are fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved by Health Canada.

Foreign nationals who are eligible to travel to Canada should fill out this form in order to get expedited processing.
Hi,
My parents are fully vaccinated. Can I use this form to request for expedited processing? I mean is this sufficient reason to request for expedited processing ? It's been 4 months since they have submitted a visitor visa request on GC key portal.

Thanks!

Why don't you reapply through IRCC portal? I see that most of the parents applications were processed within a month of reapplying.
Applicants used travel exemption form when the border restrictions were in place. It's not certain whether it would expedite the process but nothing wrong in trying.
