PGP 2021 Round 2 (Sep 2021 batch)

Question please: I submitted my parents application on November 26. No update yet and I've not been able to link the application. I understand that this application, if successful, can take up to 2 years to complete but I want my parents to come visit this year. Is it advisable to apply for a visiting visa while waiting for the PGP? If yes, is it advisable to apply for the 2 years visa or the super visa (if you have reasons please include).
HI All, anyone in similar time line. I submitted application on 3 NOV 2021. I see people talking about ghost email. I did not receive any ghost email update till date.
I tried linking application in GC key but no luck. its been 4 months and no acknowledgment till now. Is it normal ? can we raise webform to know whats going on with application ?
I see some are getting ghost update who submitted application after Nov 3. are everyone suppose to get ghost update ?

It is impossible to link when application status is submitted. These who received ghost email without email for updating documents can link the application, it means the status of application is completed and FN is assigned. I applied in Oct 04, still waiting for ghost email..
If I'm sponsoring both my parents and they have dependents (4 of my siblings), do I have to show finances to sponsor all 6 of them, or can I sponsor my parents and my parents show finances to sponsor my parents? I don't know how else I can bring my family here. I just got my PR, there's no way I'll meet the finances requirement to sponsor 6 people.
The whole point of having a minimum income for the previous 3 years is to make sure that the sponsor can support the family members moving to Canada. You need to have them undertaking for 20 years.
So you will need to work for 3 years and get enough income to sponsor family size of 7 people (assuming that you are single).
There is never a garantee that you can bring your parents and sibling to Canada. Under IRCC definiation, they are your additional family memebers (not immediate family, which is your spouse and children.)
Hi,
We applied on Oct 18 and got a request for some missing documents on Dec 7. I received and email on March 9 that appliCation status has been updated on PR portal account. I check everyday since that date, but there is no update on PR portal.
Any idea what should I do?
Thanks
Hi what number did you use for family size? and did you use your Sponsor UCI number or Principal Applicant UCI number?
My family size is 3. Me and my parents.
I am not sure which UCI was used by my consultant. Is that a concern?
I received and email on March 9 that appliCation status has been updated on PR portal account. But, no update on Portal? Do I need to just wait?
Did anyone else got an email like this too?
2 suppose no other dependant children.
and i believe the online form doesn't have this field any longer. makes sense as they have a final say in # of ppl in this application. you just need to provide all details.
You have to sponsor both patents although one can be non-accompanying. There is no option to sponsor one parent. You must meet LICO including both parents and both parents must pass the medical.
As a lot of applicants is finding difficulties to link their app to MyCIC account, I've made some suggestions based on those who successfully linked their app to their online account. Although this is focused on PGP applications, it may work for other applications as well.
MyCIC Account (CIC Online Account):
"MyCIC (Online Account) is another CIC portal to check the status of your PGP app and receive messages. It's different from E-Cas as it has more details on app status, real-time updates, client communication capabilities of uploading required docs and receiving CIC messages. It requires GCKey or Sign-In Partner login credentials which you can freely have by registering first. It's preferred that you create an account under Principal Applicant's (PA) name.
Once you have an account, you can try linking your existing PGP app with your account. This is very tricky as you need to populate an entire online form with PA's info. In most cases, everything has to match exactly the way you filled the original app. Moreover, you get only 5 attempts a day to find your app in the system. Note that, once you successfully link your PGP app with your account, you may only receive CIC messages here and may not receive any email in future.
Tips (tips are mostly taken from forum members):
1) After you login, you click on Link App to this Account button. Choose Permanent Residence in category and Family Class (Parents & Grandparents) in sub-category. This will open all the required fields you will need to fill up.
2) There are 4 different combinations you can select in app details. You can try all combo, but I would recommend App No. & Family Name.
3) Sometimes leaving city and country of birth fields empty work.
4) In the passport section, enter the info as seen in the originally sent passport of PA. Sometime leaving the entire passport fields blank work.
5) Match the city and province name you entered in the original app. Leaving them blank work sometimes as well.
6) The most tricky part is the Number of Family Members. In most cases, this needs to match exactly how you declared your family size in the original app. For a family of 6 (sponsor+sponsor's spouse+2 kids+both parents), this can work for any number from 4 to 6. Most of the time it works excluding kids. So, you have to try all numbers within the range. You can also try leaving the field blank.
7) As I've seen, it takes several tries to successfully link the app. So, have patience and good luck!!!
