疫情的影响,各类签证服务的审理速度均出现了不同程度的延误。
由于加拿大实行旅行限制,访问签证(visitor visa)受影响最大,除了部分豁免人群的访问签证可以被优先审理外,多数签证审理都属于停滞状态。
随着加拿大疫情得到改善,政府放宽入境政策,移民局在6月30日对加拿大访问签证的审理情况做了新的说明。有以下几点重要内容:
-
重新恢复通过在线递交的签证申请(无法在线申请的残障人士的申请除外)。
-
不受当前旅行禁令影响的豁免人群将继续获得优先审理的资格(包含新的申请和正在进行的申请),如学习签证、工作签证持有人,加拿大公民或永久居民直系亲属等。
-
在旅行限制实施之前递交申请的豁免人群不会获得优先审理的资格,除非他们通过web form提交请求并证明自己满足豁免标准。
-
虽然移民局会优先处理一部分申请,但依然会对常规访问签证申请进行处理。
Temporary resident visas (TRVs): COVID-19 program delivery
This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by IRCC staff. It is posted on the department’s website as a courtesy to stakeholders.
Important
Foreign nationals who are required to undergo a medical examination may be unable to arrive in Canada before the expiry date of their medical examination. Until a change request can be implemented to modify the letter of introduction to include the medical examination validity date, officers may use the port of entry facilitation letter. The letter can be modified to include instructions that the client must enter Canada before the expiry of their medical examination.
These program delivery instructions align with the ministerial instructions (MIs) that are in effect from February 1, 2021 to September 30, 2021. While processing, to the extent possible, will continue for temporary resident visa (TRV) applications, intake has been limited, until further notice, to applications submitted online (with exceptions for those with a disability who cannot apply online). Information about the new cohorts of applicants who are exempt from the requirement to submit a TRV application using electronic means can be found at Temporary residence: COVID-19 program delivery.
Applications will continue to be prioritized for those who are eligible to travel based on the current travel restrictions; this includes both new applications and applications that are currently in progress. TRV application fees still apply.
Important
Even if an applicant meets the travel restrictions exemption criteria and, when applicable, establishes they are travelling for a non-discretionary purpose, they must continue to meet all the usual eligibility and admissibility requirements in the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) to be approved.
Applications submitted prior to the travel restrictions will not be prioritized unless the applicant contacts IRCC by submitting a request through the web form indicating how they meet the exemption criteria and providing acceptable documentation.
While the priority is to continue processing applications where the client meets a travel restriction exemption and, where applicable, has established that they are travelling for a non-discretionary purpose, non-priority TRV applications can continue to be processed, and approved or refused, pursuant to regular TRV processing . English and French push notification emails will be sent to approved TRV applicants advising them that despite their approval, travel restrictions remain in place, and that for most, now is not the time to travel to Canada.

令人欣慰的是,移民局依然会审理那些无优先权申请人的签证申请,但是由于加拿大已经积累了大量的案子,所以大家不要对审理速度抱太大的希望。
小编刚刚查询了访问签证审理进度,目在中国境内申请加拿大访问签证的时间依然需要416天!
