Hello,
I got my sponsorship approval mid-november, and I had noticed that applicant's status on e-cas was "in process". I logged in today and it has reverted to "application received". It got me a bit anxious. Anyone else experienced that?
Yup. It happened to me as well. There's no need to be anxious about it. It simply means that the assigned LVO for your PGP application has finally received your files and booked it into its processing queue. Have you logged into MyCIC/GCKey? They might have sent you second AOR in there. But, second AOR is not always sent to applicants. Ottawa changes ECAS status on sponsor and PA to "in process" while they are processing SA. Once SA is made, LVO takes over and ECAS status on PA changes into "App received" by LVO.

That's normal.

Hello,

Does anyone know how much time will CIC allow for entering to Canada after the PR visa is received? In other words, how long is the PR visa usually valid for?

Got Medical and police clearance request yesterday. My mother lives with me on a super visa in Toronto, whats the easiest way to get police clearance.. is it thorough BLS ? and if so then how much time on an average they take for such a request...
Also my mother is flying back to India on Jan 3rd, so stuck with all the time line pressures cause CIC wants the docs by Jan 6th..

Thank you for clarifying the process. This really helps calm the nerves down :)
I logged in through the GC key, no updates there as of now.
I greatly appreciate your response.

I sent the pcc through email as well as through web form. You can include the e medical information sheet if you wish though the medical results will be sent by the panel physician only.

I thought of sharing this information as it can be useful for someone.

I received my in-laws COPR letter or passport request today. I was given both option of submitting my in-laws passport either through VFS or to CPC Canada.

Apart from checking at the forum, I also spoke to IRCC Contact Center to an agent. They confirmed that I can submit my father-in-laws passport in India and Mother-in-law's passport in Canada (since she is here).

Note - My Mother-in-law will not get the PR before my father -in-law lands in Canada (since he is the primary applicant). You can only get the PR, when you land with the primary applicant or after they have landed.

Hopefully, it may be helpful to someone seeking more information
That is a very valuable piece of information. You are truely a Rockstar!! :)

Address proof of the sponsor

Your id(passport),your status (PR card or citizenship certificate) your address proof(driving license or energy bill), your mother's passport and her 4 photos are only needed.
