Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[xjh]

@YULIA-2016 @robertp

Please update my entry: Oct. 5 2020 received letter confirming my eligibility as a sponsor and asking for copies of parents' passport, police certificate, CV etc.

In the letter, there is a paragraph as follows that I'm not sure what to do with (I'm sponsoring my parents with my father as the main applicant and my mother as his spouse). Does anyone know if I need to do something or fill out any form here?

Country Specific Requirements: Please refer to the country specific requirements listed for spouses, as these documents are applicable to parents and grandparents. Country specific requirements can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp

Your answers will be appreacited.

If your application has crossed sponsorship approval process, it is in CPC-Mississauga. Your Ecas needs to show Decision Made in the side of Sponsorship Application. On the side of permanent resident application, it will show "In Process". You will get sponsorship approval letter or email showing the local visa office your parents' application will process. Are you following the tracker? Most of May 09 applications already got PPR.

Yes I'm following the tracker and all May 9 applications are approved. I'm "Roya-fsw" in the tracker.
My ECAS shows "in process" for both sponsorship and permanent residence applications No decision made yet.

Forum members your advice highly appreciated on these concerns I have !
May 29th application
Stuck in process for PA

1. I am renewing the visitors record - but medical expires on Dec 16th ...

Will I get request to redo it again ?
And can I write to them to extend validity as PR application is under process!

What are the chances they will extend

2. In visitors record we have a letter that says biometrics not needed as completed on Dec 4th ( which is the first time my mother did biometrics for her PR application)

Yet they keep requesting biometrics letter .
Cic agent also says biometrics received.
So why case officer would resend it again !!!!

Thanks

That's true! I contacted my MP last year and they only responded to him that CIC was waiting for my social assistance clearance from the province! They get the response from the province in January 2020 but did nothing about it. My MP contacted them last week again to follow up and it seems that they took my application out of the drawer! It's funny that they don't respond to any of my inquiries and only do something when MP asks for updates...

I am also in the same boat. June 5th applicant. IRCC requested Social Assistance clearance from Province in Dec 2019. My MP requested an update from the province in September 2020 and found out that the province already replied to IRCC in Dec 2019. Not sure why the sponsorship part of the application still shows in process.

I was requested the file notes, and they also mention that they are waiting for SSC ON reply. Not sure where the disconnect is and why is it taking so far if the province has already responded. Any one else can share their experience?

@Roya-FSW did you get any update on your file through the MP ? Any movement?

My MP told me that the first time that province issued my SSC, it was not received by IRCC so in January 2020 they resent the request to the province (ON) and the province responded in about a week. But again they went to sleep and did nothing. My MP followed up again last week and today I saw the change in my application progress. CIC may need to send a new request to the province to get your SSC.
The only movement that I've had since May 9 last year is that my status on MyCIC changes from "background check in progress" to "review of eligibility in progress". No change on ECAS though; both applications are "in process".
I don't know how they decide to get SSC for a few applicants but if this is really required, it has to be done for every application! It's not fair for us to wait more than 17 months to only start eligibility review.

I don't think your case relates to this situation AT ALL! @Roya-FSW 's case is stuck at SA approval stage as is mine! I'm June 12 applicant.

I received the below pdf today


This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted on behalf of
ABCABABABA O and family (if applicable).
You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent
Residence for your relative will be processed at CPC-Mississauga. This office was selected based on
your relative’s home address and the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Also at the bottom of the email, it said:

1. Police Certificate: For the principal applicant and dependant spouse (if applicable), please provide police certificates from:
2. Supplementary Information - Your Travels (IMM 5562)

Did anyone receive the same email with pdf and what did you do? I assume I should collect these and send over? Thank you.

Also, my parents reside in Vietnam but in the letter it said:

I thought it should be somewhere in Singapore?

Affidavit is not accepted as a proof of relationship. I also did not had a marriage certificate for my parents and I attached an affidavit. Now, I got an email from CIC asking for Voter card for my parents with note that Affidavit is not accepted as a proof of relationship.

In India, your parents can register their marriage now. Processing time is like 10-15 days.
Thanks

If you have or had Indian passport, it should have your parents name.even if passport is cancelled ,you can still submit that as proof of relationship Have it notorized .

Your information in the tracker is updated. There is no specific criteria to assign visa office. Many outland applications got VO assigned to CPC-M and for most of them it moved quite faster than other VOs.
