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

Big congrats to you and your family.

Does anyone have any suggestion?

I'm in the same situation as you now, but I got the PPR letter 1.5 weeks ago. Waiting for the darn virtual landing link, when will it come?

Please check your junk email as well, search for "IRCC"

Hello everyone,
Need your help, I applied for parents sponsorhip on last November and got my parents medical done. They requested for police report and I tried to link ircc account and thankfully their account is linked in online account. Now i dont see any section where i can upload their police report. Is there something i am missing? Can someone please help me how to upload police report?
Appreciate your help
Thank you

1. Google search the contact information for that office so you can email them.
2. Ask your MP to help contact them.
3. Call IRCC customer service number.
4. Contact them via webform

I recommend doing all 4.

Hello, I had request the admins. earlier to change the status to complete as the process is now complete for my mother. Also, I applied for visa extension on July 4th (Visa expiry was July 5th) since my mother was already in Canada. She became a PR on 27th July. So, what do I do with the visa extension application, it still appear as "Submitted" in mycic @laxsun Thanks.

In the above cases, I hope everything came by email, not paper mail.
