rax7187#1 -
my parents came to India in October 2021.
We informed CIC that they are in Canada.
Got Re Medical Request on 21st November 2021.
Did Medical in few days.
Got PPR on 3rd December 2021.
We informed on same day that they are in Canada and no response from CIC New Delhi
My father decided to leave Canada and my mother is still in Canada. Now she is also leaving.
So once she will be in India, we will send passport for stamping and hopefully they will do landing again before November 2022.
Financially stressful to do multiple flights in same year with Canadian winter.

I know ArriveCAN procedure.
Good to hear that PR card would be applied at the Airport and for SIN I will take appointment at Service Canada.
If someone has applied OHIP recently for their parents any insight would be helpful.
Very tough to say whether 3 month wait period will have returned by November 2022. I would look at the website closer to their arrival. If the 3 month wait period has returned I would make sure to purchase private insurance for the 3 months until they qualify for OHIP.

Today i receievd DM2 in ecas and received a letter asking to submit passports photos etc. my parents are physically in CANADA now .. can anyone confirm of i DO NOT need to submit passports?
Congratulations on receiving PPR of your parents.
If your parents are in Canada, they will be doing virtual landing without sending passports. For this you have to send a webform to IRCC informing your parents are in Canada.

But many like @OlyaMK @Pancham S and @lenalucky are facing hurdle to receive an email to create a PR portal.
I suggest you to create a thread and discuss how to approach overcoming this hurdle.

@rax7187 is looking for information to enroll to OHIP for his PIL who are landing very soon.
His parents will be planning to land before Nov 2022.

@rax7187 Covid19 caused such a problem in bringing our parents. We had to buy air-tickets three times in May 2021 to bring my MIL here.
Thankfully she was able to enter Canada one day before her PR visa expired.

I hear you completely.

When you did the change of address, did you get any confirmation for change?

Yes or No? ( I am not talking about the web forms inquiry).
I said I changed the address as soon as they were here so in Nov 2020. Yes the confirmation is basically you see the address in ECAS and it was changed within a month. I am just saying that it did not worked for me so it is not always the case that process will be faster if parents are here in Canada.

Does creating a PR portal is pre requisite for virtual landing??


i already have My CIC login… also i informed IRCC the moment my parents landed in Canada… i did not even had PRE ARRIVAL services letter that time…

i informed IRCC again Today that we received the information letter… and since my parents are in CANADA i DO NOT need to submit passports.

i did not expect a DM2 so quickly as i saw that it takes about 2 months after the pre arrival services letter ..


hopefully they action within 5 days as they mentioned in letter for us to contact via web form.

Hey, have you tried giving this information or address change status via Webform? They will have to change the address as they ask multiple times to me if my parents are living in Canada and they wanted their present address. Once address is changed, you can see it under ECAS status.
