Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019
- Thread starter Garry2008
- Start date
Hi guys, I have a question and appreciate your help. My parents were approved PR visa in Oct 2020, with an expiration date of Apr 2nd 2021. However given the current pandemic situation, they decided to land at a later date which is after the expiration of the current immigration visa. Anyone knows the process to extend the immigration visa? Any additional document/process to follow? Anyone had experience on this? Appreciate it!
One of my friend’s parents’ visa/copr was expiring in August 2020 and they informed IRCC that due to pandemic her parents do not feel safe travelling now. IRCC responded back to webform that contact us when they are ready to travel.
She contacted IRCC again in Nov that parents can travel now, so IRCC extended their medical to Jan 31 and they landed here on Jan 24th.
But i think it totally depends on the visa officer, the officer may ask to re-do medical before extending the validity of visa/copr.
Depends on medical officer who clears exam. If they feel additional tests need to be done, you get the letter to appear again at panel physician office for further info. It could be additional XRay, sputum test, cardiology, respirology, other specialist consult.
Hello,
I have a question regarding postponing my father's biometric in New Delhi.
I had submitted a web form requesting the date to be postponed by 60 days so that my father can get his vaccine before he travels to Delhi via public transport. I have not heard anything back from IRCC and the request was submitted two weeks ago. The deadline for Biometric in two weeks now.
Were any of you in the same situation or had to postpone biometric? Due to Covid, my father is hesitant to travel.
Do I call IRCC to follow up? Any recommendations?
Thanks.

My parents did medical on 11th Feb; didn't hear anything back from Dr.'s office and there are no updates on the portal either.
It may takes approximately 10-14 days to update on GCKEY account if medical is passed.
Hello everyone,
I sponsored my mother under Family sponsorship program. The timeline is as follow:
1) Application Received (AR) June 13, 2019.
2) Eligibility met as a sponsor, Feb 13th 2020.
3) Started processing the application July 9, 2020.
4) Got informed on 28th July 2020 that the application has been received by Family Reunification Unit at the IRCC office in London, UK.
Since then there is no update nothing. As per GCMS notes, nothing has started yet. In June 2021 it will be 2 years.
Have booked upfront medical in this month.
Can anyone suggest an advise? or been through this?
Please help and share its urgent. Thanks
