Hi Anjali, wondering about your application. They asked the same for my mother's application. I don't have an adhaar card or voter card as I came here right after my high school. But I do have my grade 10 and 12 certificates where it shows my Mother's name and also my passport. Did it work on your case? Thank you.

Hi there,
Could you please fix the errors on the tracker, there are numerous errors on dates, as dates are showing updates in Dec. 2022, which will be in one year. those need to get corrected to 2021.

you can provide basic resume with her education info and any certifications, etc. that she might have done for any hobbies. You can also include the dates and mention her to be a "homemaker" or "house-wife".
regarding PCC , i would say wait for the request .. because if you submit and it expires, you might have to submit again in future...
yes, you should update her address on file.
apply for visitor record (extension of visitor visa) that would allow her to stay for upto 2 years i believe.
For PR landing, we are planning to travel from Delhi in the end of this month i.e. Jan 2022.
Due to the travel restrictions, we have some doubts.
Can any body guide us on the following;
- How much time in advance we should reach at the airport, considering covid-19 testing
- Which test we should book RT-PCR or RAPID PCR, considering cheap and less time taking
- What are the documents we should carry for testing
- What are the documents we should carry for landing
Point wise response will be appreciated..

I can answer about the testing part. Although, the travel.gc.ca website says you need RT-PCR, I know of people that got the RAPID PCR and it was acceptable to Canadian authorities. If you call air canada, in the auto generated voice recording, they mention both as being acceptable.
Time to reach in advance depends on the test you choose. I would say give 3-4h for RAPID test and 8-10h for RT-PCR.
RAPID test is Rs 3500 , but RT-PCR is much cheaper (300, i think)
For testing, all you would need is passport and tickets, I think
Hello
We got Alberta Health Care Cards for parents and along with that we got some forms to apply for dental/eye care benefits. It says financial assistance on the top of the form and its given to seniors with low income.
I am not sure if sponsored parents are eligible for this or it is considered social assistance?
Does anyone have information about it?

interesting, I don't think they are allowed to apply but I could be wrong.
I have similar impression too. But I don't have the exact inforamtion.
From the Alberta Seniors Financial Assistance programs site:
https://www.alberta.ca/seniors-financial-assistance.aspx#overview
________________________
Overview
The primary source of income for seniors (65 years of age or older) is provided by the Government of Canada through the Guaranteed Income Supplement and Old Age Security. To supplement these programs the Government of Alberta provides the following supports and services:
:
:
If you and/or your spouse/partner have chosen to defer or delay receipt of Old Age Security, you are not eligible for the following Seniors Financial Assistance programs:
- Alberta Seniors Benefit
- Special Needs Assistance for Seniors
- Dental and Optical Assistance for Seniors Programs
As far as I know... sponsored parents cannot apply for Old Age Security. It's supplimental income for low income seniors to be able to sustain their living. But as sponsored parents, their sponsor is supposed to provide them for it.
Anyway, calgary17 can call them and ask for confirmation. May be ask for a manager since most do not know anything about new immigrant.
Their 3 months living in Alberta requirement seems like for ppl who moved from a different province.
Thank you for the reply.
I know someone whose parents were sponsored 4-5 years ago and they are getting these benefits but who knows they might have applied it without knowing this and then later the sponsor becomes defaulter of conditions.
They were telling me that this is not social assistantce but i will do some more research about this.
