Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[caninfoseeker]

Hi all:

Please update my timeline in google spreasheet (line520):
- July 7th: Police clearance is requested again
- July17th: Police clearance is done
- July 26th: medical is requested
- July 26th: pre-arrival letter is sent
- August 4ht: Email asking to pay the Right to Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) (replied saying they were already paid and provided receipts; a bit surprising that they don't have a mechanism to track payment)

Hi, is your visa office is London uk or London Ontario? All fees paid are mentioned in GcKey account, i wonder why he asked you

Hello,
Is anyone else dealing with the Canadian Embassy in Mexico? We applied for my in laws since 2019 June. Did Biometrics Nov 2021 and police clearance Dec 2021---No other communication after that.
I spoke to our MP twice and no other response but stating its in process. I have sent various webforms and have tried so many times to call both here in Canada and in Mexico. No answer. The MP did mention that the file was transferred to MONTREAL; this confused me and she did not elaborate on this. I have also sent out an ATIP form.
Can someone shed some light? or give some other advice.........
Parents are in Havana, Cuba and we were thinking of applying for a Visitor Visa or a SuperVisa but are afraid it might create another delay.
Please HELP.
Thanks,

When your MP says transfer to Montreal believe her, same thing happened to my parents file. They ignored all requests for updates by all means, email, webform, gcms notes but they communicated on their own. They transfer files on workload basis. I hope soon you will get email from Montreal. Super visa will not harm your case rather may help. In my case i cannot say for sure whether supervisa has helped or turn in queue is reason for the file movement. But its my gut feeling that soon your file will get wheels because cases of pgp-19 are beyond maximum time boundry therefore they have shifted to Montreal. Good luck

In August 2021, i was informed that the file will be transferred to London, UK.
However, the recent correspondence (request of pcc, medical, and right of PR fee) all came from London, Ontario office. I hope it is a good sign . Honestly, i thought it was all from London, UK but your question made me verify it; thanks for asking!

How long does it take to receive PR portal link after address confirmation? We got passport request two days ago and submitted web form that parents are in Canada. Visa office is NDVO.

I got the passport request July 25th, and August 8th I got instructions to confirm location/email so they can set up my mom's portal account. Still waiting for that next step

If you are living in Canada, you must:

• be 65 years old or older
• be a Canadian citizen or a legal resident at the time we approve your OAS pension application
• have resided in Canada for at least 10 years since the age of 18

and in addition to what you mentioned I think she cannot apply foe OAS pension plan at all because the sponsor should provide all his expenses for 20 years. but I'm not sure about that.

She can apply OAS after residency is fulfilled but cannot apply social assistance until 20 years of sponsorship.

Yes, you are right, thank you. meanwhile do you know how we can contact Montreal Immigration (CIC-Montreal)

CV was submitted on 9 Aug 2022. I see today that ECAS status for PR application changed to Decision Made. LVO is New-Delhi.

Hoping to get PPR soon.
