Thanks so much !!t
you can go to mp but usually they are not allowed to make inquiries before the processing time is passed or have something really important or serious. Usually they will only tell you its in process and you will get updates once they need
Thanks so much!!

Hi everyone, I got a PGP 2023 invite and just while doing the application wanted to get some insight for folks who have applied previous year and have more experience with the application.
  1. Is it okay for me as a sponsor to fill out the online application for my father (PA) and mother (PA Dependent)? as they are not tech savvy.
  2. If yes to above, I will just need to submit use of Representative form along with the application? Do I also have to submit the authorization to disclose information form?
  3. when I applied for interest to sponsor I was PR but now I am citizen and DO NOT have the original PR but do have the scanned copy. Can I submit that copy along with my passport?
  4. I am only sponsor - applying for parents only. I assume I would not be needing their birth certificates upfront (unless asked later)?
  5. Finally, any indication on how long the processing takes from submission of application after invitation to sponsor - to finally getting the COPR (if this timeline has yet been materialized)?
Again thank you in advance for the guidance on the above. 2023 applicants are trying to be part of a whatsapp group community where we can ask any questions. Is there any existing whatsapp group from 2022 applicants?
YES you fill out the forms on their behalf and yes Submit use of Representative form.
No need to submit the authorization to disclose information form
You can upload Canadian passport or citizenship certificate and provide letter of explanation.
Yes you don't need to provide your parents birth certificates but you need to provide your's

Thank you. Any whatsapp group from previous applicants where we can be part of and ask question? (e.g. in form 5768 - Q14 what is the family size to be mentioned along with employment history? Will this be the family size including new undertakings (2 parents being sponsored in this PGP process) or without new undertakings?)

We're still waiting for eCOPR and PR Card from portal.
