Hi there,

I have a question. I was able to link my dad's pr application to his account. Below are the details:

Application status
We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you



Application - Current status
Review of eligibility Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.

Review of medical results You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.

Review of additional documents We do not need additional documents.

Interview You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.

Biometrics We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.

Background check Not applicable.

Final decision Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made.

BECAUSE my sponsorship application status is DECISION MADE and I have not received any correspondence yet. I am confused.
Does it mean that it has been approved and they have forwarded the PR application to LVO?

Thank you in advance.

Same question i also asked.. decison Made online but have't received any communication...

They do not update sponsorship approval in GCKey for some reasons. All the texts you provided above are standard and it is the same for me. I've already received medical and PCC requests as well as pre-arrival services letter. But, those text you mentioned above remained the same. But, if you go check it on ECAS, it will show that "decision made" on sponsorship approval (SA).

You do not see any documents or messages under "Messages about your application"? They sometimes send SA letter in GCKey message.

Hi, thank you for your response.

No messages.

I am just confused and wanted to know. Just because I can now see the PR application is in progress. Does it mean my sponsorship has been approved? Although I didn’t receive a letter.

My question is

Hi,

I don’t think they have started reviewing you father’s application yet. Because when I check my gckey, the ELIGIBILITY portion says:

REVIEW OF ELIGIBILITY: We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements.

But I can see that my dad’s PR application is in Progress.

How about yours?

My question is

maybe there’s a delay in their system

My and my parents' application status turned back to Application Received from in process previously.

If your ECAS says “decision made” on sponsorship approval, then you do have that approval even if you didn’t receive a letter. I suggest you call CIC to inquire about the sponsorship approval letter because that letter contains which visa office is going to process your parents PR application.

PR in process may not mean they’re processing it. Mine was loke that too and changed back to “Application Received” after Ottawa transferred my files to Singapore. It changed back to “in process” after I received medical and police clearance requests.

Anyhow, I wouldn’t rely on what “in process” could mean in terms of sponsorship approval. The best way to confirm is to call CIC. They will tell you the status. Don’t guess, ask CIC.

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

Hi ,As described here I did the same thing. My father in law submitted the passport in India and got the COPR. But for my mother-in-law I submitted the passport on Dec 12th,2018 with explanation letter and today Feb 22nd,2019 we received our passports back.

But there are no COPR or Visa on it. Our passport and Photos are returned back with no explanation letter as well.

Can someone please help, what next should we be doing. We are really worried. @YULIA-2016

Thank you.

I called CIC but didn’t get detailed information about the sponsorship. I am okay as long as I know that it has been approved.

Before the application # starts witH XF********* and now In GCKey it starts with X********* (the same number they just removed the X) I was told by the agent application with X is just in the beginning of the process. After the you passed the certain process they will removed the X.

I just wanted to ask if there are people here experienced the same as mine and the sponsorship has been approved despite of no letter from the officer.
Thank you

This answer you got is not case-specific and not very helpful. You may want to follow up with the info that Cravethe6th sent above from the website and let them know your application was submitted before Dec 31.
Not sure if you have been my question above re whether you have paid biometric fees. Let us know if you can.

I called the CIC again to have a second opinion on dec 31 date for biometeic submission.
This time the call center agent didn't have an answer and she suggested me to fax this enquiry to the Mississauga office directly and provided me the fax number for the office.
I have faxed the mississauga office. Now waiting for a response for my fax.

Regarding the biometric fee, I did pay it with the application as there was an option to do so. My idea was that if they don't need the biometrics the fee will simply be refunded. I did not know that playing safe at CIC's truff will backfire things like this.
