Hello Everyone,
i submitted a Visiting Visa Application (Tourist), Hotel Reservation, on the 23rd of November, 2021. This is the first time i will be applying to the Canadian embassy. However i have long travel history to other countries. I used the GC key. Biometrics was done 2 days after but since then, silence. Proposed Travel date is first week in April. I have read comments about a new portal. Should i keep waiting or re-apply on the new portal?

Wait it out…you’re less than 45 days away

...On the assumption that the interview is not postponed. All the same, it is advisable to wait while checking for news on IW dates.

I submitted on Monday, 14th a.m. As at last night the status was Administrative Processing. Today, it says issued.

Preference no at the bottom of the print out

Please explain. I don't have any number at the bottom of my internet banking generated receipt.

For anyone wondering what to do, go ahead and cancel existing appointment. Then schedule new appointment.
The question about 24 months is not a glitch...people are just reading it wrongly.
The question is did your visa expire more than 24 months ago. The answer should be NO because eligibility is for those whose visas expired within the past 24 months.
Then answer the following questions and choose your date.
There are only 4 dates left in Feb but there are plenty of slots available for each date.

At some point (when there was a glitch) answering No, which we all did, didn't produce the desired result. It's nice to hear that the problem has now been resolved.

Guys, there is a bug. Where it says has your Visa expired for 24 months..... click Yes instead of No. i have just booked my IW date after cancelling a previous one. All the best and hurry....

I have also canceled and unable to schedule an appointment for visa waiver.
I will wait till tomorrow morning and try again.

yes, that will be the right thing to do. I suspect a glitch as i just experienced the same thing.
