What options are available for those parents who are in Canada with PR and COPR to complete landing formalities/flagpoling in the wake of Canada-US border closing?

What additional tests were you asked for from London VO?

I submitted my medicals at about the same time.
Medicals were done in Munich, but I believe the results from Europe being assessed by London medical office. IME was on nov 8th, then my mom had to see cardiologist on feb 5th, as per specialist report was received on Feb 14, still nothing.....very frustrated, CIC still shows “ we have requested medical exam”

Hope it goes through soon!

For me, the medicals say that they have passed but I have not heard anything since Feb 26th. I submitted PCC and marriage certificate (for parents) at the same time.

I hope they are able to keep the office open/ work from home so our applications move along. I do not see anything indicating closures of London VO.

Agree that IRCC is overwhelmed. PGP is essentially a humanitarian program that puts demand on Canada with very few benefits so I assume you would be happy to stop the program instead of having to wait for answers.
That is not right. It is not humanitarian program as you are referring to. You are paying taxes and the demands on Canada is Partly on you (unless you are not paying taxes)! There are many programs alongside this program that will contribute to Canada but i is limited by the government. instead the government has opened the Refugee program and it is very easy to get through that program. What puts demands on Canada is the refugee program not The PGp program with 27000 applications. Maybe do your research before talking my friend!

You're obviously upset with the lack of communication. But waiting IS all you can do right now. This program used to take years and years to process applications. I for one am very thankful to have the opportunity to apply to bring my mum to Canada. So instead of complaining, I'm choosing to be grateful.
To be Clear, I am not complaining. I am using my right as a Canadian to demand answers from a government body. This program was not taking long any time, as long as you had a complete application and no complications it would only take 12 months to be processed in any year. Your information is wrong my friend!

You are paying taxes to cover the benefits for you and your children until they become adults. Parent immigration takes much more resources then it adds to the Canadian economy. That is why many countries do not all parent sponsorship. It isn’t that easy to get asylum in Canada. Asylum seekers also tend to be young and eventually work if not work right away. A small proportion of Canada’s asylum program is humanitarian in nature where Canada selects a certain number of vulnerable or sick people.

There was a time where people waited 6+ years to have their application for PGP processed. Advertised processing time by the government was 12-24 months.

Please do your research my Friend. What you think about asylum program is not true. Most of those people coming through the refugee program are a burden to Canadian economy because 90% of them end up working under the table as they get support by the provincial governments. That is a burden on Canadians not a Parents or grand parents whom their sponsor are contributing to this country and whom bring lots of money with them to Canadian Economy. A bit of research would show you this!!!!

That is not true. In 2007 I sponsered my parents and it only took 9 months for them to come. in 2016 i did my grandmother sponsorship and it only took 12 months. in 2017 i did my wife and it took 2.5 months. So your information is wrong!!!!

This is incorrect. The majority of parents come with very little funds and that is why the government has had to keep on raising the amount of years that children are financially responsible for their parents. 90% of protected people do not work under the table and receive welfare.

I am not wrong. I am not sure how you got so lucky to have such quick processing times for all your family members but that is not standard.

Has anyone any idea as to whether CIC- Mississauga are sending out PPR’s at this time or are they closed at the moment. We received our DM2 on March 4. Thank you.
