Wondering what is in sponsorship approval letter? I never received it, when does it come? Before PCC request? I got PCC and relationship document request in Aug and I submitted everything on Aug 31st. Waiting since then, No communication from CIC.

Hi Kanishka24, if you were already asked for PCC at this point then you are already approved as sponsor. i havent got that letter too, but during early stage of application i saw at ecas that there are two approvals. One for sponsor and another for the applicant. I had the chance to see for the sponsor as decision made and applicant as in-process. also now ecas only shows applicant and sponsor no longer posted.

Did you receive the PCC request in early August or end of August? Looks like applicants who received PCC early in August or before getting Pre-arrival and PPR? Can you share your timelines? My timelines are in my signature.

Welcome to unfortunate side my friend, Vancouver office is notoriously slow, so unlucky for you.

My Sponsor approval came on June 9 2022, since then have not heard from them.

Best of luck!

Once you create your GcKey account. You will be able to see the Biometric results automatically get linked.

Thanks, ra07980!
I was able to link the application to GCKey account.
This worked for me after multiple attempts: I entered 4 as the total number of family members on the application (i.e. in my case 2 of my parents + 2 (my spouse and myself as sponsors).

Hello friends!
I received a letter asking Updated residential address, Medical Examination, Passport, RPRF, Proof of Relationship, PCC, IMM5562, IMM5546, CV Resume for my parents. They completed the Medical examination and waiting for PCC. The letter asks to submit documents using myCIC account.
Questions:
-Do I need to submit all documents again even though there is no change? [Need Help, please]
-I am unable to link my application to the GCKey account - what's the way out? [RESOLVED]
-My parents completed Biometrics in the year 2020 for the visitor visa application -How do I get it linked to the PR application? [RESOLVED]

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
