Hello everyone,
My mom received a letter today to provide Biometrics, however she is visting my Brother in Doha - Qatar ( her country of birth and citizenship is Lebanon , that's what we applied for when we submitted her application )
Can she still provide Biometrics at a VFS center in Doha - Qatar or she must do it when she returns back to Lebanon ?
I highly appreciate an accurate and fast response.

Regards,
Sam
Yes, she can. Just book the appointment and take the request letter there that is not location specific.

Hello, first time asking questions in this thread so forgive me if the answer is too obvious. We submitted the application for my wife's parents in May 29th, 2019 but we're still waiting for the final decision. Is this normal? The medical results had been reviewed in Nov 12, 2019 and no updates since then. I also ordered GCMS notes a month ago but didn't get any updates from them other than the payment confirmation. Any suggestion how to find out more about the application? And what should I do for the expiring medical exam date?

Thanks!
Medical will expire in one year after passing date that is seen in MyCIC. I heard some people got extension for six months but some got request to redo.

Congratulations! Did you submit PCC in the beginning with your applications?
Nope. We actually applied for her PCC a couple of months ago to have it in hand whenever they requested it - but instead of requesting it, we got a notice saying her PR was approved! Guess we wasted some time, effort and money as we had some tech issues requesting the PCC from Canada.

Hi All, When will normally landing fee be requested? Will it be asked with PPR email?
That might have been asked in SA letter or additional document request. However, anytime before landing has to be paid. If your parents are here better to pay now and change the address to Canadian one.

Hello All,
I applied for my mother on June-19. We got medical done in January-2020 biometrics and PCC done in February 2020. We haven’t heard back since then and the application is in process. My mother is travelling to Canada at the end of this month but my PR card has expired. Does anyone know if she will be allowed to board the plane in India?
I am sorry if I am posting in the wrong thread

Assuming that the applicants are Indian nationals, please get a certificate from Indian High Commission. They issue a certificate stating something like
Quote
Based upon entries appearing in the Passport, and other relevant information, ....
Unquote
They are able to do this because they fully understand the Indian environment.
Thank you for the suggestion. I have already submitted this certificate from the Consulate. It is called certificate of date of birth. I did that when I initially submitted the full application.. IRCC has still asked me all these documents.

I plan to submit my aadhar card and ssc certificate - and explain mother's name is not on it because at that time, mother's name was not given on these documents in India

Hi Everyone, my mother is in Toronto, Canada on a visitor visa and she has received a letter to submit her biometrics. The biometrics centers are not accepting appointments, please advise! I am not sure what should be the right next steps.

Hi, I have the same issue. Some members replied to my query about PR card expiry and parents travel between pages 2881-2883 of this forum. You can look at suggestions there.

Can you provide specific dates for the above? What is your local visa office?

This is normal as per tracker: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AqTuXZrYG6sg4UHpHBEaMbWTgbHtvxzWYedaojGh0bg/edit?ts=5e27655c&pli=1#gid=945174368
