Congratulations
, congratulations!!
you received both sponsor letter and pre arrival letter at one time .When did you receive medical and pcc ?
In our case we only received AoR in March 23 and nothing else after that and application was submitted in 20 th December 2022.
Can we expect both letters as in your case.
Thanks
I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The medical request was sent in October and PCC was in November. We received passport request last week.

I have a question for those who submitted their parent's passports to VFS India. The passport request letter is addressed only to the Applicant. So, when submitting the passport, should I just include the dependant's passport along with the applicant? Do I need to include anything specific like another consent form specifically for the Dependant?

Thanks for your help.

Today marks 12 months since application was submitted, I've heard nothing since July when the file was transferred to Montreal.

Hi Lambo-s-LAW , mine is already 14 months since application was submitted and file transferred to Montreal in June 2023 when the sponsorship approval was also received.

The only update I have is criminality passed since May 2023 using previously submitted biometric for TRV . Every other process has not been started .

i ordered GCMS notes and saw 22nd May 2024 as due date for medicals which has not been started.

Thanks for sharing your experience. How long did it take to get a response to your GCMS inquiry?

To members who got medicals or PPR
---- we got medical letter (IMM) dated 21 nov 2023 to undergo the medical examination within 30 days of date of this letter,
We got medical done on 8 th December 2023 , but doctor has not uploaded medical till now and they are saying it may take another week to upload due to heavy rush these days and they will send to ircc date wise . So probably it will be uploaded after 30 days deadline .will it be ok or may pose some problem ? Please take time to reply.
I would say send IRCC email with Letter of Explanation stating this exact scenario along with proof of any kind like Receipt or paper you have from the doctor's office that shows they have undergone medicals on this date by this doctor. I am no expert but I would have send email. Its better to be safe by informing them. I hope this helps.

I have one queston:

I received a sponsorship invitation form for parents and grandparents from IRCC. While our family income over the past two years meets the requirements, we fell short by about $6000 in one of those years. Can I still submit my sponsorship application for my parents?

If you have a recently approved visitors visa does that mean that the background check for immigration will pass quickly as well? We will do PCC upfront and send via email webform...and for those of you have submitted PCC upfront, what is the protocol, formality and introductory format of the webform that must be sent? Thanks!
