Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[canuck78]

Hey sorry if u mind I was just joking. Initially i have tagged u and posted laughing emoji as well as I was joking but for some reason it got deleted.

I am hoping for the best I understand what the website says about copr after march 18 and that's why little worried but cbsa at the airport said same thing 4 different times that that's all for visitors we are welcoming new immigrants with thier dependants every day on terminal 3 no issue at all plus the tickets are booked so it's best to take a chance now. Hopefully they don't create an issue. If they do then will rebook his tickets

Would really suggest your parents enter no matter what. Your brother can come later.

After reading the comments, I think the best bet on getting a faster COPR ( with VO CPC-M) is to call parents to Canada after DM2. It gets more urgent if the parents medicals/PCC is set to expire in the near future.

Plenty of parents are asked to redo their medicals so don't think that having a medical near expiry leads to COPR. Likely just a coincidence. That said if the parents want to visit Canada before getting COPR that is an option.

Thank you so much for your help.Helps me a lot .

You should also state there are no vulnerable people in the home pregnant women, elderly people, infants, those who have health issues/immunocompromised.

@ZOYAMAN13 Congratz IRCC has relaxed the travel restrictions allowing the entry of siblings, grandchildren, and grandparents of Canadian citizens/PRs as of October 08.

They do still have to apply

Yes it should be fine as the flight lands in Canada on the 8th

@ZOYAMAN13 I read new release very differently. It looks like family members must apply and get authorization before travel and further information will be released on October 8th. Would be cautious because of the huge increase in cases in Ontario and Quebec there could be pushback to delay these orders when provinces are not coping with the current population.

they are also expanding the group to allow for grandparents to travel so that makes me happy!

Looks like people are still required to get authorization to visit Canada. We need to wait for more details next week. Given the cases are spiking in 2 provinces and other provinces, like in Atlantic Canada, are being able to lift more resteictions I expect there to be some concerns and even possibly some delays when it comes to these programs especially if numbers keep increasing. Given Montreal is in shutdown I am sure people and especially business owners will question why we are increasing international travellers when we have just had to shut down for a month. Hopefully there will be more covid testing required in the country of origin to be able to enter the airport and hopefully the very fast testing will also happen before boarding the plane. I believe Air Canada has orderd the Abbott lab testing machines. I also hope that one of the requirement is to show that a person has medical insurance that covers covid to enter Canada as visitor. Canadian governennts are taking on a huge volume of debt. If we are increasing the anount of people who can visit Canada during the pandemic we should at least require that visitors ca take care of their medical expenses if they do get covid. We are spending billions but every million saved treating covid or other illnesses could pay 10+ nurses.

Aha, so you mean the Visa Application Centre here (VFS Global) , not the Embassy itself. She's outside of Canada.
Thanks!

My mother in law received her passport request from Warsaw embassy on September 25. Just waiting for passport return now. Why is vfs involved in all this?

CPC - Missisauga.
After CoPR it has been transferred to IRCC-Saskatoon for PR card.

Can you please provide your application received date and AoR date? I could not locate details in the tracker.

they are the middle man between you and the embassy, at least in China. They ask you to mail everything to the VAC, they will check the documents, and then send them to the embassy. they charge the document processing fee...

Update from London Visa Office on my dad's file;
Decision made and pre-arrival service letter on Oct 03/20

hey guys, can anyone please let me know what alternative documents can I submit instead of birth certificate to sponsor my parents. I do not have one and it is next to impossible to get one. Is there any one who has done this and sponsored their parents successfully to Canada. Your comments will be really appreciated as I'm quite tensed thinking about this.

Thank you in advance.
