Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

[Shankar Iyer]

Hi Shankar,

Can you please tell me if you are getting these detailed messages from Application Tracker or the linked IRCC account? I don't see these detailed messages in the IRCC account and when I try to access the tracker it says application not found. Note that I received the sponsorship approval and AOR a month ago, your help is appreciated!

Hi Abbass,

Yes some of it from the IRCC online account and others based on emails that i got from IRCC. I had trouble linking my account initially so i called IRCC in March and a call center staff guided me patiently on how to link my application. I would advice you do that. The benefit is once it is linked online any document that IRCC wants from you they will create an option for you to upload it on the portal, and by uploading it online they get your documents a lot faster than sending it through the Web form or emailing them.

When you send it via web form or email someone has to upload it for you, so basically you're cutting down that time. And since March I've noticed that whenever i uploaded documents directly (and i've uploaded at least 3 times since then) within 2 days my application has progressed to the next stage. So indeed it is faster i think.

Good luck to you.

The phone number to call is 1-888-242-2100

I am requesting to add me as representative for my parents so that I can follow up on status if needed. I filled the web form Use of representative (IMM5476) for my parents but I got a message from CIC saying that form is not complete. I checked many times and I could not figure out anything missing in the form.
Do the online signatures work or does it have to manual signatures on paper and then scan the document and attach it ?

Hi ritu,

I just checked my form and looks liked I filled the form electronically, printed, hand signed it and sent the scanned copy to them.

Guys - all those having trouble with linking their forms with GCKey please call 1-888-242-2100 and they will help you. That's what i did after failing several times to do it myself, saves you a lot of time and effort.

Hi all,

I got this update on my account." Final decision - April 12, 2024: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made." Does this mean next stage is passport request. FYI my mother passed the medical on 5th Apr

I think they should, if you drop the X what's left is your application#

Can i only do that after AOR email is received? At the moment, I can only login to https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login and it says my application is submitted as of 6 Dec 2023...

 

[Shankar Iyer]

Can someone offer guidance or suggestions on how to access the ECAS account? I tried with the UCI# and other details but it did not work.

Thanks
