Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

[Sandeep C]

Hello Everyone,

I got a passport request for my mother.

If you are currently in Canada, and plan to be in Canada for at least two months, you are
not required to submit your passport/package and will be landed virtually. Please advise the
Case Processing Centre - Mississauga office via webform within 5 days of receipt of this letter
if you and/or any of your dependents are in Canada. Please include each person’s name/UCI
and where they are currently staying/residing (in Canada or overseas).

The webform link given here is not working.

Please help how to get access to this webform.

Can anyone help me with this ?we have applied for both the parents and they got only one COPR document for the main applicant (father). There is no separate COPR for my mother. In my dad’s COPR , it says that she will accompany her. Is this expected ?

How long do Background checks get? we got Pre-Arrival Letter for my parents in Oct 2023, they have passed through Medical and POC and others, right now shows both Eligibility and Background check in progress. They are from Iran, so I assume lengthier background check but it has been 5 months since last update

My mother's background check has been going on for 8 months now and still no medical or PCC. Background checks can take weeks, months, or years.

This is different. I though background check is usually done after medical and PCC.
Maybe it's different for Quebec?

After passing medical exam on Oct 2023, my parents' case is in security check, criminal check and reviewing eligibility.

In GCKey account, it shows "background not available".

When did your parents case's status change to "background check in progress". I searched online and if the status was changed from not available to in process, usually background check is finished.

 

[hcyrusr]

Their status under background check changed just short after their medical was approved in Oct 2023

The background status in our case is "not applicable". No change so far.

My parents passed medical exam on Oct 2023 and my dad had 3 years of military services more than 50 years ago even just a stand guard.

I think we have the similar timeline, keep posted if there is any update at your side.

Hi All
Need information about linking PGP application to gckey account..

1. Can i link application with XF prefix which i recd recently? Or should we wait till AOR with actual file no?
2. Family size - should i count co-sponsor and child of the sponsor also alongwith principal and dependant application
3. I do not have family name on passport and as per instruction provided family name was left blank.
However to link first name and family name is mandatory..How to beat this and any workaround?

Kindly support...Thanks in advance

Try removing the X from prefix to link. I suppose if the family name is blank then use the first name.

For #2 I guess you are right in including everyone. Anyways search through this thread as there were such queries and responses that helped during Dec 2023 to Jul/Aug 2023. All the best!
