I submitted application for my parents in Oct 2023 . Requesting from the 2022 applicants what is the realistic expected time period for application processing? Online the processing time is 43 months.

Any advise will be appreciated. Thanks

I think you mean that you submitted the application in Oct 2022 not 2023.
The processing times vary from case to another, but most people in this thread got it within 1year to 1.5 years.

The processing times only show 38 months, but thats only for the extreme complicated cases. You can refer to the excel spreadsheet that is on this thread to see everyone's processing times, or open the comments user signature and they usually have their processing times there.

best of luck

As a non-Indian, I find it very odd that IRCC requests so many documents from Indian applicants as proof of relationship. Surely 1 or 2 documents should suffice?

We submited more so they won't ask again. Otherwise requested was only school certificate or any proof that has father's name.

Hi Heli your signature says PCC Accepted date. What change you find on GC Key for PCC acceptance ? I mean how you come to know about this after uploading PCC from GC Key account?

In GC key additional document requied status line change to Not applicable from We are reviewing your document. That's how I Know.

From reading on the forum, my understanding is that birth certificates in India do not have children's names on them. And some do not have full names of parents.
So it's harder to use it as relationship proof. Please correct me if otherwise.

Yes it is right.

Has anybody been requested Sputum tests for medical? We are currently stuck on Medical processing because we are required to undergo Sputum/TB treatment for 6 months. It looks like this is only common in the Philippines but not in India?

Sorry, I Didn't get you. Did you receive acknowledgement back from IRCC for the documents you submitted in Aug-2022, or did you notice anything new on the gckey portal?

you are way ahead of me in terms of processing. I am a 1st Dec applicant. Sponsor was approved in June 2022. Biometerics were done for my parents when they got their visitor visasin 2020. Didn’t hear back anything. No medical request.

Hello, my brother sponsored my mother and they submitted their application on March 2021.
This is her estimated timeline:
Biometrics: December 2021 submitted
Medical: June 2022 passed
PCC and Divorce Certificate: August 2022 request received and submitted

Currently online it says still processing, I was wondering if anyone else is in the same boat and if there is any ETA?

IRCC requested for PCC last aug 3 and I have uploaded the PCC on august 24. It took 5 months before they received it. Anyone here who uploaded PCC in GCKey and got the same email and soon received pre-arrival letter please? I would like to have an idea how many days/weeks until DM under PR. Parents are outside Canada. PR In Process since nov 15 2021. LVO is CPC-M. Thank you.
