I received the notification that my mom's application is ready for visa and to send the passport. Do you know how long it takes for the passport to be sent back by the visa office?
My mom is currently traveling so she needs her passport, it would be very inconvenient if she had to cancel her trip. Thank you

2) How do i find out what my LVO is?
3) How much time after decision made is the medical/police letter?

after non-stop trying, finally i connected CIC over the phone with 28 mins waiting time. (so i guess the line won't be connected if the systematic waiting time is over 30 mins)

What I was told is they sent me the SA confirmation by MAIL (not email, and they refused to tell me the reason), and my LVO is Ottawa.

Hi Ruchi, I see you that you're sponsoring your parents from India. I applied in 2019 quota and got the confirmation #. If you don't mind, can you please share the documentation CIC is asking for parents sponsonship from India. My parents live in New Delhi.

I'm aware of forms, PCC, Medical....is there anything additional CIC asked from you? like Parents Marriage Certificate, Education proof, Financial proof?

Thanks,
Have you received invitation from CIC? On CIC website under parent and grandparents you will find application package . In document checklist you will find all the documents required. CIC will give you 60 days after you will get invitation so no need to rush.

You should care because it contains the information which LVO they assigned your application to. Once you find out your LVO, IME and PCC can be estimated as each LVO differ in processing time. But, it will take approximately two to three months unless your LVO is Ottawa. Ottawa LVO seems to get things done pretty quick as they do not process any other immigration applications such as visa etc.

Guys,
My application is in progress since yesterday.

(1) If my dad changes mailing address from his ECAS, that would decide LVO for the case?

His current address is Indian and he came to Canada last month. Appreciate your help in advance!!!!

thank you...i'm aware of the checklist and the standard documents. But every country Visa office has additional document requirements. My parents have been married for 35 years and but don't have a marriage certificate. To get a certificate is a month long process in India, that is the reason I asked if any India VO has asked for anything special other than the standard docs. Upon reading in the forum, it seems they're asking resume of parents from some candidates as well....so wondering if in your experience you encountered any special requirement?
