oh ok. but i remember when last year I applied for visit visa for my parents, i used to get status update email too. they must have changed the process of emailing about status update now.

 

[xiaomin]

it took such a long time for you to get additional docs request? I remember you got DM1 pretty early.

It has been two months since I finish bio info to CIC.

For Police Certificate, do we need one from Canada if parent has lived here longer than 6 months?
I believe answer is no, according to this page. Can someone with experience respond please?

Also will we need police certificate for every country where parent has lived over six months? Or just the countries within the past 5 years, perhaps?

The instructions I received in the letter say:
Police Certificate: For the principal applicant and dependant spouse (if applicable), please provide police certificates from:
 The country where they currently live; and
 Any country they have lived for six months or more (if applicable).

1. PCC from Canada is not required
2. From every country with a continues stay over 6 months

Hi every Body,

I am new to this forum, I already applied for PGP 2019
I Received Biometric request yesterday,
I have a question from Senior members and I will appreciate if any body can help me on this Issue .
My parents living in Iran, Since In Iran there is no Legal Separation Status IRCC call Centre advise me to select Married Status on the form IMM008
I applied for My MOM and put DAD as non accompanying dependent.The Medical request received for both.
My dad does not corporate and he does not even want to submit any document or do any examination.
I don't know what can I do.
I asked my husband to talk to him but there is no chance to make him submit his document and go for medical exam or Police certification request.
My Mom did her Bio last 2 month and I am really don't know what to do and what is the best approach.
Your kind advise really appreciated.

The call centre agent advised you wrong cause you're mom should have chosen the "legally separated" status from the beginning. And your dad shouldn't be in the application. Since you already included him as non-accompanying you need to give cic more proof or evidence that your father doesn't want to comply.

5.11. Inadmissibility and non-accompanying family members

All family members, whether accompanying the principal applicant or not, are required to be examined unless an officer decides otherwise. Normally, an inadmissible family member, whether accompanying or not, would render the principal applicant inadmissible. There are, however, two exceptions to this rule described in R23. The first is the separated spouse of the applicant and the second is where a child of the applicant who is in the legal custody of someone.

Satisfactory documentary proof of a separation and of custody being with someone other than the applicant is required. A separation agreement or custody papers are examples of acceptable proof. Officers will not issue a permanent resident visa to separated spouses, common-law partners or children in the custody of someone else, even if they are examined. This is because separated spouses and partners are not members of the family class as per R117(9)(c) and because children in the custody of someone else are non-accompanying family members.

Officers should be open to the possibility that a client may not be able to make a family member available for examination. If an applicant has done everything in their power to have their family member examined but has failed to do so, and the officer is satisfied that they are aware of the consequences of this (i.e., no future sponsorship possible), then a refusal of their application for non-compliance would not be appropriate.

When sending the additional documents requested, is it better to email them all at once? Or better to send them gradually as the information becomes available. For instance, I have the CV/Resume and Travel history ready. But still waiting for Police Certificates. Any recommendation?

Hello Everyone, My application reached Ottawa on 24th May 2019. Till today i have not received any update after that. I am also trying to find application update online, but everytime it says application not found. Any suggestions should i call CIC or wait for 1-3 week more.
