Thanks for all the information , so for the can+ how can I use it to apply .

How straightforward is the new portal application for tourist ?

Have your visa been approved?

What documents can you recommended I submit to make my strong ..

I intend to visit Canada for 4 days and I also vaccinated.

Please what else can you guide me, on the general process

Honestly I’m just as new as you are, but let me just give a quick run through. When you’re filling the form on the website they’ll ask if you’ve been to the USA and Canada all that, the answer you give determines the next question you’ll get. So in my case I filled yes and all my past trips to the usa so it didn’t ask me for anything out Of the blues.
I was asked how much I’ll be travelling with
Who will sponsor my trip
Purpose of visit
Travel history in the last five years
If I’ve been denied visa to the USA or any country before
Work history
If I’ll be arriving Canada by air
Personal history from the age of 18 till date
Scanned copies of my biodata and visa and that was all.
Next day after thinking this thing was too good to be this true and I had just obtained copies of banks statements for myself and hubz the same day, I decided to do a webform (I think this is either oversabi or unbelief of the ease) I added my bank statements, husbands bank’s statements and biodata, sponsorship letter from husband, covid19 vaccination card showing I was recently fully vaccinated, documentation pertaining to my main aim of wanting to visit Canada as a tourist and that was all.
24 hours after on the 22nd of October I got Biometrics request, I went for the biometrics on the 25th(Monday) this was updated immediately on the account. That’s the last update I’ve gotten so far, I’m not in a hurry to visit Canada at least not this year till next year February most likely so they can take their time but at least not all the time in the world.
I’ll share my timeline when I get ppr to give regular tourists without family in scandal an insight as to what timeframe obtains at the moment.
The plan for me too is to visit Canada for a few days during my next usa trip to at least survey where I want to relocate to and also attend what I’m going for.

Hi Debs did you use this link or you just started a visitors application from your GC key.

https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca/signin?lang=en

The link is asking for an invite code and applying from the GC key doesn't give the option to declare Canada and US visas recently obtained. I'm gunning for CAN + grin

Yes as far as you are fully vaccinated you are good but you might also need a negative covid 19 molecular test( pcr) taken within 72hrs before your flight to Canada. Without the negative pcr test you will not be allowed to board the airplane to Canada. You can check by downloading the arrivecan app. It will guide you.

What of children? Since they aren't vaccinated.

Using can + how do I show that I have been fully vaccinated. Where in the form can I indicate it.


“”Tell us more about what you'll do in Canada. Include dates.””

How do I answer this question so I don’t sound vague .

My main purpose is to visa for tourism for 4 days while visiting the us .how is the best way I can answer that question as a solo tourist .

I think you should just state it the way you’ve put it here. If you have your usa itinerary then include it. As for the covid vaccination card you can upload it at the end of the application prior to submission , on the place holder tagged “others”

Hello,

While waiting was it showing the estimate completion date? Mine just shows an asterisk leaving me to wonder if something is wrong.

Secondly, which office processed your application eventually as per the PPR letter?

I wonder if new portal applications are processed in a particular location.

Thanks.

purplerain:
When you apply through the new IRCC portal they state that they will finalize applications within 14-30 business days. Both of them are fully vaccinated. I included their vaccine cards along with the application.

Dear Sir/Ma,

I have a question bothering me right now. I made an application for my mom through the GCkey on 28th Oct and 24hours later she got biometric enrollment. Biometric updated 2nd Nov and I got to know now that there is a new portal site “portal” which is faster so I read here and from other forum.

I also read on the new portal that you can have GCkey profile and the portal profile too. I want to apply again through the portal for a possible quick decision.

My question is can these applications on different sites (GCkey and Portal) run simultaneously? Do I need to withdraw my application with the GCkey platform and apply through the portal or CIC will harmonize the application?

Hello all, I need to comment on the process using the new portal. While some people that have valid US visas found the portal easy. It is not easy for those that dont have a valid IS Visa.

I in particular interacted on that page today trying to fill the form and I got to the stage where the questions of having a valid US Visa and having being in Canada previously came up. I responded 'No' to the question of having a valid US Visa as I dont have one currently but responded 'yes' to the question of being in Canada previously.

After that, I observed that so many questions popped up. In summary, the questions were a combination of questions found in the Family information , Application for Visitor Visa and the Schedule 1- Application for Temporal Residence forms .

At the end, a list of requirements came up and the curious one for me was the request for Proof of Travel exemption . I dont know why that is a requirement because there is a provision for applying for exemption inside the application so why ask for proof again or are they other requirements needed because apart from evidence that one is vaccinated which isnt demanded for in the application,I cant think of other requirements.
Someone should help in clarifying this for me. Thank you

You can read up the category of people that qualify for travel exemption. Then you attach a document to show you're exempted.
Fully vaccinated people qualify for travel exemption, also people travelling to reunite with a family member qualify for travel exemption.
You can attach a document to show you are fully vaccinated (if you are) or you can attach a proof that you're reuniting with a family member.
Please check the IRCC website to see the category of people that qualify for travel exemption.
