Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[Anastasik]

Yes. My mom landed in Montreal airport on June 15th. (PGP2019 May15 applicant)

Did they ask any questions? Was the interview there?

 

[soroush]

I am excatly in the same boat. My parents did their biometric first week of Feb and no update after that. Their case is in Ankara office so I am not even if they have opened yet...

Ankara is open but prioritizing process of specific applications and PGP is not one of them. I emailed them last week to add a doc to my file and that was the response i received.
plus, i have a friend in CIC and she was saying background checks are very slow as it is done through a 3rd party agency. This also impacts immigration applications.

Yes, the trv medical can used for pgp.

TRV is in process and not approved yet. Since VAC is closed. Can we still use the medical result for pgp ?? And use the web form to inform cic.

And should we use general web form OR email london VO?

Hi Everyone, I need an expert advice on this case.

My brother is a dependent on PGP2019 application. He came to Canada on Study permit enrolled in September 2019. He got his biometrics done for his Study permit last year only which are valid until 2029(These biometrics are also populated in the dependents column for the PGP file in CIC account).

On March 6th, we receive the Biometrics request for My parents and my brother. My parents submitted their Biometrics on March 9th and my brother got the earliest appointment for Biometrics for first week of April which got cancelled and the Service Canada centres are still not open for Biometrics. Amidst this, we sent an email to CIC in May explaining our situation (asking if need to submit new ones or the ones we submitted last year are good for the application to proceed). We got this response:

Now, last week he applied for his work permit and yesterday he received a letter saying this:

duration of your temporary stay in Canada.

Now, my question is at one point they ave acknowledged that they have our Biometrics for PGP, at other point they say we need to submit a fresh biometric sample for permanent residency application. Should I try to contact them again ? Or it is good as such. Thanks in advance

We submitted bio again even it was valid done for super visa.

Hi, anyone applied on June 28th and received AOR or sponsor approval?

I did no reply yet

 

[Moneris]

Hi everyone, I noticed that I mixed up my grandparent's birthdays in Additional Family Info application for my parent's sponsorship application (after over a year of submitting it...). Could that affect their decision about our application? Can someone who had similar experience advise please. Thanks!

For everyone who received DM2 which is DM for PA, and have not yet received PPR. Did you try to get a response from IRCC what the DM is ? Or did any one got their MP involved in getting a response from IRCC ? I know some of you are waiting for PPR since March, but did you try to get a response from IRCC ?

I haven't. Probably wait until mid July and will start phoning or might submit a webform

Let us know when you follow up with IRCC what their response is....

A friend of mine called the call center today as he is also having DM 2 for SA since March and they told him not to worry everything on the file looks good. However they cannot inform him what the DM is because the Immigration Officer has not yet sent out a communication yet. Once he does sent a communication out, they can let him know what the DM is. However they told him Background check has been completed and all the checks are completed. It s a matter of time that he receives a communication from IRCC.

The wait is too long to know what the DM 2 is...

BIO from any other visa type is not valid and accepted for PR applications. You have to do the BIO again. Due to the Covid-19, all BIO submission date is extended until they are open in Canada.

Hi dude, as far as I remember today (June 18,2020) is your one year anniversary since application reached?

thats right, wow time flies but application does not haha
Congrats to your progress as well, seems a lot faster than mine.

I was able to reach IRCC yesterday, took 40 minutes to wait, rep told me they are not at full capacity and cannot tell when it will be, some officers are working, the best now it’s to submit webform, might take a little longer than 5 buisness days to get an answer. Good luck to everyone!

Did they ask any questions? Was the interview there?

passport check, corona virus plan, landing interview and customs all done in Montreal. In my mom's case, one officer did all.

Hi guys,

Any movement from London Visa Office for applicants from Pakistan! I'm awaiting medical and PCC after SA approval in March 2020. Thanks.

Nothing from side in process still no request for Medical or PCC, the only thing that I received is when I sent them webform question asking them what happened to my application, they replies back "The application is under review by an assessing officer, however there are no further updates to provide at this time." Can anyone please give any explanation about this?? Thank you
