Hello everyone, Quick question.
We received a letter from CIC asking for ORIGINAL police clearance certificate. My parents had that done Dec 2020 and we sent that scanned copy on email.

My question is -
Do we have to send the same PCC or they need to do it again? They have not left country in last 2 years.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

From my experience it usually takes 1-3 DAYS for Ankara to respond to emails.
The last time I sent an inquiry was about 4 weeks ago. I might try again next week!
They were superfast to respond compared to the past, this is their response. Interesting how long it takes to complete this review:
"Please be advised that this file has been preliminarily assessed and is currently in the queue for the secondary review."

This is the exact same response that I received from them in my past three follow up emails since September!

Hi, does it say to send it my email or mail? I received one today as well from New Delhi. If you check bottom of the letter, it would specify where it is coming from.

hi Folks, do we have to take travel insurance for parents once they land in Canada or are they covered under OHIP from day 1?

Good day,

Requesting to update line 540 - Passport request :)

Now, I have to work with VFS to complete the passport pickup. Submitted web form today not sure how long it takes and how simple/complicated the process is going to be.

Any guidance is really appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

i have same question. you have to apply for OHIP coverage but they cant apply until you have proof of residency which could take upto 1 month (e.g. bank statement or phone bill) .. so insurance may be needed until OHIP application is submitted and number is provided
Like to hear from others ...

Hello friends,

For those who have been requested biometric from India can you please guide us how to book the appointment? When we go on vfs website we don't get any dates that are available this year or next in any city. If anyone has information about this would be great appreciated.

Thank you

We had the same issue. The appointments do open up at a certain time(s) during a day and they fill up fast. I was able to book one almost 3 months out in Delhi around noon EST. If you can't make it within the deadline provided, send them a Webform explaining the situation. They gave me an extension.

Hey Guys
I am not in tracker. My parents file is in Ankara. Medical Feb 2021, Police certificate May 2021 and prearrival Oct 2021.
As we are getting close to the anniversary of the medical i emailed Ankara and this time their response was different.

Dear Sir/Madam,



This is in response to your recent E-Mail enquiry.

You will shortly be receiving a passport request letter. Your visa will be valid until February 02, 2022 and you should be able to land by that date.

How long after pre arrival normally they send the passport request?
