Has anyone received approvals for visitor visas with just tourism as purpose recently now that they have announced that from Sept 7th, any vaccinated person can travel to Canada with valid visa ?

They have said that when you enter 2nd application then your first application will withdraw automatically. In your case they are still processing first application. What they are doing???

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to apply for my brother to come here for tourism. So he's an extended family member.. what are some of the reasons or purpose that you have included? His purpose here really is for tourism especially this coming winter season..i just want to gather some ideas.

Thank you!

I'm just wondering if they're processing any TRV applications for non-family members and tourism purposes at this moment.
Based on all the responses I see on this forum, even apps for family members are a pain right now, I can't imagine what it's like for non-fam members AND tourism as the purpose.

They issued one to someone who submitted an application before September 7 to visit for tourism purposes.

They are - just received my passport request letter earlier. I had applied to visit my cousin on Aug. 31
