IRCC confirms resumed processing of online applications for Visitor Visas and ETAs.

As of July 1, 2020, IRCC has confirmed the continued processing of online applications for visitor visas and electronic travel authorizations. Applications under this stream were previously put on hold unless applicants met the necessary travel restrictions.

Travel restrictions continue to remain in place and have been extended until July 31, 2020. In the event of an approval, applicants may still not be able to travel to Canada at this time.

IRCC continues to process study permit and work permit applications submitted online as well as permanent residence applications. Applicants must continue to submit their applications online – paper applications for visitor visas, study permits, and work permits will not be processed until further notice.
