me too have almost 3 years for my parents sponsorship application is forwarding, finally we got good news and eventually received eCo-PR. This is all about waiting game and patience. My parents arrived in Canada in October 2021 and I extend their stay in order to get faster PR process, eventually everything is work out in the end. I'm going to cancel their Visa extension application and refund my money back since they received their CoPR . I really wish everyone just to keep faith and pray , you all deserve your parents get PR in coming days
Thank you for your kind words and many congratulations on the completion of your sponsorship process.

My only frustration is how opaque this process has been till date. They increase the processing times to 34 months with out any notices, my file has been to 3 different Visa Office's and I have never been informed of this! Application is way past the so called 'processing time', they don't respond to web inquiries, IRCC call center calling queue's are full for days in a row. No proper correspondences what so ever! how do they expect us to wait indefinitely? I have no issue's waiting for my turn in que to be processing if the procedure is fair and transparent (like first come, first serve basis). If you need more time or require additional documents, no issues, will provide it them and wait for review. At this point I am beyond frustrated and I am sure like many others in this thread!

Hello everyone, Got invited for my mother's sponsorship in March 2019, sent papers in June 2019, medicals done in July 2021, biometrics done in October 2021. Mother came to Canada on visitor visa in November 2021, IRCC advised us to submit photos on PR portal in March 2022. Can anyone tell how long should it take from uploading photos on PR portal to get PR status and PR card? Too much money is spent on insurance so now getting impatient, I have been patient until now but it is getting stressful now. Anyway to explain this to IRCC? I have filled out numerous web form asking the same thing but always gets auto response that it may take several days to respond due to various priority situation.

Any lead is greatly appreciated.

The CBSA officer may ask the address the PR cards have to be sent.
They have to bring the unsigned copy to COPR received with PR visa.

Have you tried applying for OHIP as apparently one could get OHIP if they are in Canada even before getting the PR. I think you should try if you received any communication addressed to your mother stating that decision about immigration has been made.

You can wait for their call for medical surveillance.
The CBSA officer may ask your mom how long she will stay in Canada.
They want PRs to stay here for sometime after landing.
Thank you so much for your response.

If there is no PR status, will ohip still applicable? Technically my mother is still visitor here. Still PR portal after more than 3 months has still showing status of in review with ircc. Is it normal?

Yes I did advise ircc that my mother is in Canada so they sent the PR Portal info to create an account. Our address has been updated to Canadian now. What's your situation?
