Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

[zmah09]

Hi Everyone,
I received a letter that they sent my parents file to Mississauga Office, they requested Biometrics and Medical and a CV and military records as soon as possible.

My question is that is this letter enough for my parents to go with it for Biometric at the visa office or for the medical check?

Also how should I link the application to the IRCC account to see the status ??

I really appreciate your help.

Hello all,

I recently received letter from IRCC for Proof of Relationship (SPR)... for me (the sponsor). Downloaded the application to double check what we submitted. It includes my marriage certificate (husband/wife relationship status) as well as my birth certificate (mother/daughter relationship status). Do they need something notarized instead?
Any insight would be appreciated!

I initially gave only Birth Certifcate but when later they asked for the relationship proof again then again gave Birth Certificate and Marriage certificate. Speicifically mentioned they are originally issued in English so no translation required but notarized them anyway and send it to them via email. Also gave an explanation that currently they don't issue these in native languages anymore so all are in English.
