Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

[Lambo-s-LAW]

Good afternoon folks,

Checking if anyone in this thread knows or experience the delay for PGP.

My wife has sponsored her parents in August 2018. Medical was done in feb 2019. In Nov 2020 got a letter from CIC saying case has been transferred to Delhi. No update after that. Any one knows about this? what could be the reason?

Thank you in advance

That’s a very long time to be waiting. It’s also past the 21 months processing time.
Have you tried calling IRCC or raising a web inquire through the webform?
I’ve also seen folks talk about requesting the notes on the file. I believe that is done through this link but I’m not certain. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

Anyone have parents in India received recent eCOPR? Wondering if the situation with India is causing any delays to the remaining applications for 2021 PGP program... Anyone recently receive application decisions?

Hi All,
I got an update after 2 years - they're requesting for Canadian PCC as my parents previously lived in Canada for 7 months. They're not in Canada right now. Please if someone can let me know how to obtain the Canadian PCC. I did search the thread, googled and even read on the website - but not sure if it's very clear. They're asking to visit some third party for fingerprints - but these 3rd parties too are in Canada.

Will really appreciate the reply as I have less than 30 days.

Can someone help me with a question regarding my parents’ extension of stay in Canada?

Is “waiting for a final decision on the PR application” a legitimate reason for the extension?

Thanks!

If I am not mistaken, they do not ask for a reason.
I applied for an extension for my parents' visitor visa online for One Year, they took 6 months to reply, but the good thing is they gave a One-year extension exclusive of 6 month period (18 months in total).

what do they say in the pre arrival email usually? I think I got one in September 2022 outlining the list of pre arrival services... but again absolutely nothing since December 2022.

Thats all, that is the standard format to know the services and help they can get when they are in Canada and how to be prepared etc., I have already called CIC 4 times till now in last month, as the processing time is 21 months and we already crossed 23 months. They always say its being actively worked upon and we cannot do anything apart from waiting.

If I had asked the same question, I apologize. What additional document was sent: Feb 22 2023( GCKey Upload)?
I wonder if all the applicants who are still waiting for a final decision from the Mississauga case processing centre are going through a lengthy security check.

Hi All,

Hope you all are doing great. I just received invitation to apply email from IRCC to sponsor my parents. I am a bit confused and need your guidance on below points:

1. The documents checklist says we need to submit Marriage Certificate of parents. They don't have it and their passports have their names added.

Is it sufficient? Did someone submitted an alternate and if that worked?

2. Should I get it done by some consultant or myself?

Thank you

Adhaar card, Voter Id card or Ration card will have spouse name on your mother's documents. You can use anyone of these along with passport as proof of relationship.

Yes!! My mother's application is still underway too - way past the normal processing times. Apparently the security check is taking ages.

I ordered gcms notes and security is the last step pending. The screening started months ago and has been taking a long time. File is in Vancouver.
