Hi, sorry to interrupt but any news on the 2023 program? When do we apply?
I have not applied last year as I saw they would still take from 2020 poll.
Wondering what's gonna happen in 2023.

Appreciated :)

Hello, my mother’s application was sent on December 2022. She is here on a visitor visa and we sent an application to extend her stay, as part of that she got biometric letter. The question is will the biometrics will go also to her file for her PGP? Do I need to send a web form?
TIA
Yes, my mom had her biometrics done in 2019 as part of her super visa application and that is valid for her PGP application.

This is great, congratulations.
I hope every applicant get the approval soon.
Congrats! Seems like a seamless process for you. Any recommendations, suggestions, pointers for those that are waiting? We were just asked for old passports and school records of the sponsor etc. for PR application. Our parents visitor visa application is stuck in secondary clearance as well.

Hello, I noticed that you did an upfront PCC, did IRCC have any issues with that? I'm thinking of doing the same.
I had no problem , when they send the sponsorship letter to me i got the PCC done and submitted through webform .
I gave them the PCC from the local police station which was actually not correct but somehow they accepted it , to get the correct one you must apply thru passport office ( See below link ) . i thought they will ask me PCC again so i got the new one too but they never asked ( So i did not submit ) . There was a wait time of about a month for us to get PCC from passport office ( In India , not sure about other country but follow the link ) . If you have got the sponsorship approval letter then get the PCC and submit it upfront.

Thanks!

I was asked for similar documents like old passports and school records back in April. Its not a red flag, just a part of the process.

Just try to be prompt in responding to all the requests. Also I think the process moves a bit faster for people whose parents have already visited Canada on super visa or visitor visa. Since IRCC has some documentation already in their system.

So just hang tight, be on top of all communication and be honest. Hopefully, you will also get the approval soon!
