Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[dpatel08]

I need some help. I got an email in April indicating that our address didn't match the one that was used to initially indicate interest for lottery. We had moved a few houses down and I completely forgot to update the address online. In any case, I provided all the documents that they request to prove that we had moved in April. It is now October and I have heard nothing. It looks like many others have heard something and things are moving along. Any advice? Has this happened to anyone else?

I am also in the same situation and i attached the letter of explanation with my driver's license to prove my new address do you think they will accept it or will i also get the email like you ? :/ i am worried now after looking at this post :/

Hi everyone. Can I live in another country after submitting application to sponsor my parents?
I submitted the application in Dec 2021 and it's still in process. Now we want to go and live in USA for work. Does anything happen to my parents sponsorship application due to us residing in another country while application is in process?

You cannot live outside of Canada during this time. Living in Canada is a requirement to sponsor your parents, so until their PR application is approved, I wouldn't recommend you move to the USA just yet.
Perhaps you could get away with it if you already got sponsor approval, but you would still be taking a big risk and I recommend you just be patient.

The same happened to us. We just need to send proof of address change (there is provincal forms to formally change address) and we also include additional mail forwarding service and DL address change to proof that we moved since we submitted the interest to apply. It all went well after.

BTW It was all paperbased back then. So I am not sure how you can do the same online. I am sure they will provide/provided instruction to update IRCC with current online process.

Hi, We got pre-arrival on 28th September and still waiting for PPR! Everything is done - Medical, Biometrics, and PCC. I don't remember the exact dates!

So, they asked for a PCC if parents have lived in a country for more than 6 months since the age of 18. In our case, it was only Indian PCC. I hope this helps!

So the case officer from our MP's office gave IRCC a call. There is currently a backlog with virtual landing. So if you guys can send in passports to VFS, by all means do that instead.

Thanks for your updates. We just got couple of days before. Please let me know whenever you get it. As I saw, most of the people get PPR at the same time of pre-approval letter!!!

can you please elaborate on this matter ? where does it say in the law of IRCC that you cannot live outside canada during this period ? that is beside the recommendations ,so we can add this law every time someone is asking these questions once for all ,assuming here that the one asking the question will be reporting his income during the period and assuming also that once the sponsorship is approved they will need to prove that they have intentions to be residing in Canada and prepare the proof for it as residents of Canada...just assuming ...not an a recommendation nor an opinion ...im on a learning curve ,thank you for sharing this section of the law,much apreciated

For clarity on the issue please refer guide imm5772 which states as under:
Who is eligible:
You live in Canada.
(This is of course in addition to several other conditions)

Who is not eligible:
you won’t live in Canada when you apply to sponsor your parents and grandparents and/or when your parents and grandparents become permanent residents
Your primary residential address must be in Canada when you submit your application and until we make a decision on your application.

Hope this will answer your query.
