Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[gst8486]

ECAS got updated today 'We received your application to sponsor on May 1, 2018'

However, haven't received AOR email yet.

For checking ECAS I used my UCI. Good Luck everyone!

Also, I was able to link the application on My CIC. For linking, I used my father's passport number and expiry dates. For the number of family members, I had put 4 i.e. Sponsor+Co-sponsor+Father+Mother
I didn't add my kid in it, and it worked, in the application the reported family member were 5, its weird, but it worked!

Good Luck dear

Hi,
This is making me excited, just wanted to confirm few things:
I know my app was delivered on may 17th so seems like they are still picking apps from 1st week of may which explains why my status is not showing anything.
But just wanted to confirm:
I never included my UCI # in the app that I sent, so I can still check my status using my UCI or there is anything else available for the Canadian Citizen people.
Rest is very straight forward I believe, my last name, my dob and my country of birth.

Thanks,

Hey iengineer, I am sure you will still be able to check the ECAS status with your UCI# @ https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/security.do

IRCC will link your application to your UCI to ensure that the file is easily traceable.

Also, I will recommend you to go through following link to understand how you can link your application with MyCIC account

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/account/link-paper-online.html

You should get your AOR before July 17. Good luck!

I don't think you have to send a any cancellation form. All you have to do is fill and send a Use of a Representative form (IMM 5476), if you haven't hired any lawyer or consultant, you should put yourself as a representative.

Also, send them an explanation letter and mention that right from the beginning you didn't hire any lawyer and consultant, you are interested in being a representative for your parents.

Do not forget to add the copy of IRCC letter you received.

That should help! Good luck.

Take a look here. They had the same problem because they put the sponsor's address instead of the sponsored address on some forms. Did you do the same? If so, just fill the form they request.

Good catch @zheka
If that's the case, I will recommend @badar14 to mention about putting his address in IMM0008enu, he can mention that his understanding was that he can put his address.

Police clearence certificate (PCC) will be valid for 6 months, and IRCC will ask for it even if your Father is 79 years old. For information about the PCC check the below link

How does the communication work for Permanent Residence Application now (for my father)
Does it go to my father's email or home address?
Would I get any notification like request for Medical or PCC?

I was getting emails for AOR and SA

I am asking because he will be travelling for next 3 months and wont be home to get any communication

Thanks

Your best bet will be to monitor his My CIC account, its the best way to insure that no communication is missed. Did you link his application to his My CIC account?

My response was on the basis of the posts from other members of this forum, I didn't see any of them saying 12 months. Not saying that you are wrong, but could you please provide the source of your info, that might help in clearing the rumor (if any).
