Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

- Start date
I submitted the application on 12th Nov 2021, and received Pre-Arrival Letter on 21st September 2022, since then Total silence. I did go to the Local MP office for inquiring, and they said the same thing, wait till your processing time is exceeded (24 months in this case).
I have checked the processing time today and it shows 23 months (outside QC). My parents file submitted on 01 October 2021 so 01 September 2023 will be 23 months but i have not received any medical request, pcc request or any other update! I am convinced that it will take longer than 23 or 24 months 
. Any suggestions if i should get PCC done for my parents to save time just in case!
. Any suggestions if i should get PCC done for my parents to save time just in case!Hi all, my parents arrived few days ago(Vancouver,BC). Do you know, if they are 65+ are they going to have any benefits(besides health care)? I mean is there any type of pension they are eligible to get? I know that I am financially responsible for them next 10 years, but I was hoping they can get something as a senior.
Or, is there any newcomer services that I can use to get the information?
Thanks for your help!

You are responsible for them for the next 20 years. That's been changed a long time ago to 20 years.
They are not eligbale for pension (Old age security). Since they've never worked in Canada and just arrived. May be they can get a small amount after they live here for 10 years.

Old Age Security pension
A pension you can receive if you are 65 years of age or older and have lived in Canada for at least 10 years - even if you have never worked.
If you have lived in Canada less than 40 years
Not everyone receives the full Old Age Security pension. The amount you receive depends on the number of years you have lived in Canada.
If you lived in Canada for less than 40 years (after age 18) you will receive a partial payment amount. Your payment amount is based on the number of years in Canada divided by 40.
You can delay your first payment up to 5 years to get a higher amount.
Example
If you lived in Canada for 20 years
If you lived in Canada for 20 years after age 18, you would receive a payment equal to 20 divided by 40, or 50%, of the full Old Age Security pension.
Other services should be listed in the pre-arrival letter for new comers.
I would suggest waiting for doing PCC... Depending what home country your parents are in and how long does it take to get PCC processed. Ideally, you will get Medical request and PCC at the same time.I have checked the processing time today and it shows 23 months (outside QC).

Vancouver office is very slow. My Parents completed their medicals on 10 November,2022. No updates after
police certificates requested, submitted and already expired but the Background Check status still says:
- Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.
Hey guys, quick question:
Dec 6th 2021 applicant here, we got the PPR on 24th July from Mississauga office, I am wondering if we will get separate letters for both the applicants on just the principal applicant only ?
Please advice.

@sweetnspicy I believe the principal applicant only. When did you receive the pre arrival and whats the status of your final decision?
