So when did you inform IRCC that parents are in Canada ?I wasn't asked to send the passport. I received the portal link right after the approval email and I just uploaded the photo on it.

My first request to MP was to find out ANY information on my file because it has stalled and no update on GCMS notes. Then I proceeded to ask my MP for help in understanding why my application has exceeded both the new and old timeline with 0 updates.Congratulations on the good news. My timeline is the same as yours, I have written MP twice; but it’s the same thing they told me sponsorship approval done and background check in process. Can you tell me what you asked the MP in your email. Secondly how long does the background check take and did u submit a police certificate.
Thanks

So sorry to note the lackluster attitude of Ircc.but we can't do anything except waiting. I pray for earliest completion of our PGP 2019 batch mate's remaining applications. Our batch PGP 2019 is very unlucky in processing of applications.Congrats! Wishing you and your family all the best!!!
I hope to get the good news soon as well...
I am still waiting!!! not patiently anymore thought. my parents' application was received on May 27, 2019, and sponsorship was approved in Sept 2019... The first medical was passed in March 2021, the second medical in April 2022... PCC has been provided in 2021... and still nothing!
Similar wait at CPC-M.Congrats! Wishing you and your family all the best!!!

Any guidance with my query above will be greatly appreciated.Could anyone please share their landing experience at Vancouver airport? What documentation should be parents carry, any tips an tricks would be beneficial.
My parents are arriving on September 14, 2022.
Her address was always Canadian and never had to be changed as she was here all this time.So when did you inform IRCC that parents are in Canada ?
Visa is not needed once PR card is in place.

At the end they asked where we want to send PP (between Accra or Niarobi) we picked Niarobi but we were informed we had to go in person, so changed to Accra. However, we did not have to go in-person but we could not change back to Niarobi cause they warned that we MUST stick with the selected option.
- June 28th 2022 - Recieved both Jan and May GCMS notes; shows file was transferred to Mississauga - Accra - Montreal - Vancouver - London Ontario. File spent over 32 months between Mississauga, Accra and Montreal. Was transferred in May 2022 to Vancouver then London Ontario in May 2022 as well.

- July 22nd Recieved Email via GKey with visa information
- July 27th Received PP from Accra (Missed July 26th delivery)
** I used my email all through out this application because I know my mom does not check her emails (as evidenced with the VFS email). Her email only came into play when she emailed her PP to Accra and by then it was too late to update.
I am sooooo happy that I fail to properly express my joy.
Sorry in advance for any typo or grammatic error. I'm off to go drink zobo
In my opinion it comes down to your risk level. However, I believe you have 2 options:Got medical appointments 4 days ahead of 30 day expiry period, is that ok.
