Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[Raj2202]

Hi Guys, I have applied for parents pr on Nov 21, 2021. I haven't got any update yet.
Also when I try to login to online account and check I don't see anything under Application submitted also, is this normal?

I see the application numbers from 2018, when I applied for Visit visa(currently expired, as they got visa only for 2 years). but I do not see the one I submitted on Nov 21, 2021. is it because its still under review and we only see when they accept the application? or am I missing something here?


I got an email that application successfully submitted on Nov 21, 2021. Please confirm?

Ghost email means you get email that there is update on your file but when you log in to online portal there is nothing.
But after ghost email you can link your application to GC key in around 3 weeks.

thanks Darji for the update. But I thought as we submitted the application online there will be something visible atleast greyed out. But I dont see anything. So may be I have to wait for the ghost email then.

Hi There,
After medical exam did you send the emedical receipt (through web form?) as well or it got updated automatically.

After medical is completed, do we need to send emedical sheet to ircc via webform?

No need to submit anything the doctor does it all.

It gets updated once medical is evaluated by doctor at IRCC. If there are any potential concern it goes into a pile for further review and to determine what further tests are needed. That takes around 1.5 months.

your right, that's the new processing time, 32 months, they say they are trying to improve the processing time

Parents and grandparent sponsorship is pretty much last priority when it comes to processing because the program doesn’t provide much of a benefit to Canada in and actually is quite costly due to healthcare costs, GIS after 10yrs, etc. Most countries don’t allow any sponsorship for parents with access to the public health system so even if the wait times are longer you are still receiving a huge benefit. Processing times are always changing so they could get shorter or even longer during processing. There are large backlogs in economic immigration applications, student permits, work permits, various permits for spouses and IRCC is dealing with 2 big humanitarian situations (Afghanistan and Ukraine) so there are huge demands on IRCC. Refugees are also able to enter Canada more easily again and the US may be opening it’s southern borders so there will also be more asylum claimants. I’m sure many who weren’t selected would trade spots and wait the 32 months so you are still in a better position than many.

You need AOR before you can link your application. You should get AOR in the next few weeks. This is a long process where you will go for many months or even a full year with no changes to the application.

Hello All,

could you please give me some advise for my situation. I summited the PGP application On NOV 26, 2021. Shortly after the submissions, My Mom has a liver cancer (early stage), so she had the surgery to remove the bad parts, and now under chemo (taking treatments). unfortunately, I got the medical exam request yesterday, My agent suggest me that i should withdrawal the application as the agent is worried My Mom would not pass the medical exam, and i could apply again when she is fully recovery. I don't want to give up/ withdraw this chance because it took me 3 years to win the Lotto.

do you have a similar case like me, and pass the medical exam?

could you please share your opinions?

appreciated.

See this post. It is from June 2020
This may help you to take decission.

It’s impossible to say whether she will be approved or denied. She should get her oncologist and surgeon to give a detailed diagnosis, treatment plan and prognosis. Processing times is +2.5 years so she may be done her treatment by the time IRCC is ready to make a decision on her file.

How much time does it take to get medical passed when everything is fine.
