There’s a portal now , are you trying to do paper based ?

Pls, I'm new here. I did my biometrics recently. But application type shows "Only biometrics"
Visa category: Only biometrics.
I'm confused, isn't supposed to show visa type; tourist?

So my mom got biometrics request on Oct 21 and did the biometrics yesterday. I then submitted a new application via the new IRCC portal today and sent a webform to withdraw the previous application. They definitely haven’t started anything on it since processing doesn’t even start till after biometrics. Keeping my fingers crossed for a fast response.
One thing I noticed though, while answering the guiding questions, if you don’t qualify for exemption, you’re directed to the IRCC secure portal but if you qualify, it leads you to the new portal.

That is the way VFS receipt look, it doesnt have anything to do with the visa category.

Please update the house when you do and I’ll also update the house when I do too, so people can have an idea as to the timeline they’re working with now , although I’ve been hearing 3 weeks since the September update

I applied on August 29th for my mum & dad, no response. Reapplied (reuniting with immediate family member) on Oct 19th via new portal, got a PPR request for them today.....6 business days

Debbieeeeeee:
Hello people, please is there any other person asides Mo the explorer who has applied after the September 7th timeline and has gotten a response so far ? I await a response as I just applied last week and had my biometrics done today. Thank you

Chatted with vfs rep and got a response, yes It's okay to submit their docs in 1 package since they applied together

Hello house,

I understand there's a Package transmission fee that must be paid per applicant before sending Passports to VFS Lagos or Abuja. I intend to include the proof of payment with passport and other documents.

My question....since I applied for my mum & dad together, is it okay to send their Passport/docs in one DHL brown envelope and pay for one 2way return courier OR I must separate their docs and pay for 2 separate brown envelopes. Any response will be appreciated. Thanks

Hello ma'am,
I want to submit application for myself and my 3 kids. I also want to request for written authorization using the web form. I'm not sure if to fill separate web form for each of us since we all have different UCI or is it possible for me to fill one web form for myself and quote my kids UCI, application number and passport number in my own web form?
I would appreciate your response. Thanks

Congratulations.
Please did you send separate web form( written authorization) for both your parents or you just used one web form for both of them?

Thanks for sharing. Missed this as I thought portal simply meant applying through the online portal. The statement about using "this new portal" should have been bolded and in red with a finger pointing towards the link!

Submitted a new application again. Hopefully one will see some movement as it has been all quiet since the recent submission almost a month ago! The initial application was not withdrawn and I received no response to my webform enquiry.

Thanks for expressly stating that there is a "New Application Portal"
.

Beginning to feel like JAMB and WAEC English compression or better still like IELTS exam.

Lastly, it seems you need to qualify under one of the initial radio button list options before you can have access to the new portal else, it will default to option of choosing either old online portal or paper based application.

Back to waiting mode.

Thank you for the update o. In my case I’m applying for tourism as I didn’t qualify for family reunion, my relative there is my brother in law and not my direct relative, so I had to stick to tourism , but I observed by the questions asked, I was streamlined for can plus because the form was quite brief and only a copy of my usa visa was asked for. Asides my biometrics update, no other update has been done yet on my profile, fingers crossed.

I did send a webform to expedite application plus an email to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC@cic.gc.ca in the old application but that didn't yield anything, so I just completed the new application (no email or webform sent)

See response for old application webform if that helps:

Please can someone with pending tourist visa application be able to apply for study visa?

Nothing stops one from doing that. Besides some tourist visa applications have been pending for almost 2 years.

I think it is advisable to state that you have a pending visit visa application somewhere in the new application.

I have also seen student visa applications refused on the basis that applicant has pending PR application which presupposes that the applicant has intention to stay. However, I think there is allowance for dual intention so you may also see some successful applicants under similar circumstances. Besides some people visit first as tourists to see if they will like to study in Canada or other alternative countries.

Please did your parent have a PR holder or Canada Citizen there? Just want to know on which ground they treated their application.

This is encouraging.
