Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Ottawan83]

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

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

I asked you because your case is progressing similar to mine. There is one person on this forum of vo London on who got swift processing till pp request and pp stamping. Fingers crossed. Hope ours also come to happy end soon.

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)

I received additional document(CV) request on 19 Jul 2022 followed by medial request on 21 Jul 2022. Medical test was completed on 25 Jul 2022. GCKey was updated as Medial passed on 1 Aug 2022. 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.
