Do we need to get PCC from home country if applicant has been staying in Canada for 3yrs? Thanks
Yes, I think so. IRCC requires a PCC from any country where the applicant has resided for a period of 6 months or longer since the age of 18.

Yes. It is the letter which states at the beginning:

This letter confirms that your Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class was received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in __________.

Today I received AOR and case assigned to Case Processing Centre in Mississauga, anyone know how fast they are in processing?

I am not able to link my application. Not sure which information is not correct
I was able to link GC key after too many attempts
Try using number of family members :
Main Applicant
Dependents
Sponsor

for me it’s :3
Main applicant: 1
Dependent:1
Sponsor:1 = 3
Before I was including sponsor dependents too , which was not correct

Does anyone know where to attach the letter of explanation in gckey account if PCC is not received before the deadline? I have just emailed the explanation letter to them (following their instructions on PCC request letter). I tried uploading on gckey under PCC section but it will not let me attach letter of explanation since it needs issue and expiry dates.

I got an email from CPC-Mississauga asking for biometrics fee which I already paid when I applied.
Should I pay it again or attach proof that I already paid? I am sponsoring my parents and they have one dependent kid. I paid $170 already.

Applied: December 2nd, 2023
No AOR
Request for Biometric Fees: April 26, 2024.
