don't know . I think most of people are from 2016 who even didn't get Medical request
I am sponsoring just my mother who is already here in Canada.

Is it fair to say that the processing would take not more than 1 year at CPC Ottawa?

Please provide comments on my case based on what you’ve seen so far in 2015 / 2016.

I believe its too early to link it, try E-case first
Not too early if you are lucky. Mine application was sent on April 11, 2018 and it was received in Ottawa on April 12, 2018 (confirmation from Canada post). On April 17, I was able to check e-cas and have now linked it to my mom's MyCIC account. The status is application submitted in MyCIC and application received in e-cas.

Think that it will likely be over a year. You may be the rare exception.

It looks like Ottawa is still working on 2016 applications then.

I also see that there are no 2017 applications processed at Ottawa yet. Not even round # 1.

Does Ottawa have applications pending in 2014 and 2015 as well?

Yes there are still applications being processed for 2014/15. The process seems to be faster under the new lottery system so anticipate 1-2 years. Obviously some may take longer and a few may be sooner. If your mother needs an extension to stay in Canada apply for it 30 days before ithe previous visa expires. Also mention you are waiting for PGP. Extensions are usually granted but every case is unique. Given she is not a visitor she should have a home to return to and assume she will likely need to move her stuff and do some administrative stuff before settling in Canada as a PR.

Did you change your surname? If so use your new surname to check using the online tool first and the try linking it to MyCIC. Link:
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do?app=ecas&lang=en&_ga=2.149770038.1604322359.1524009509-2081033413.1524009509

No need to put dashes in UCI! You can also link your PR card application to MyCIC account. For the number of applicants for your parents PR application, count the principal applicant, dependents, sponsor and co-signer.
Wow, it finally worked. It only shows PR app received and for some reason, doesnt show anything on PR card renewal app- which was sent a month before the sponsorship app!

THANK YOU

While tracking it I can see it was sign by someone

Among your parents, pick one to be the main applicant and the other would be dependent/spouse. Who is the main or dependent does not matter. Then use just 1 form IMM008 for both of your parents. There is a session in the form for your to fill in the details of the dependent/spouse.
You will only use 2 forms if your parents are divorced and you want to sponsor for them both.
Great..Sounds good... thanks for your reply.
