    Yes, military which is probably why they sent it to CSIS.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    My parent's application was also submitted to Vancouver office in Nov 2021. For my mom (PA) everything is done, including Eligibility, Medical, Info Sharing, Criminality and Security. For my dad it is the same, except that Security is In Progress since May 2023. I made another ATIP request to...

    There is no set timeline, many of us had our medicals expire after 1 year without further communication.

    Yup, definitely not a dependent in that case, not even a non-accompanying one. Make sure you make that clear to IRCC.

    Usually, there are no exemptions from this requirement for members of the family class or their family members, accompanying or not. However, you can try to submit a statutory declaration stating that you understood that by the dependent not completing the medical they would be forever excluded...

    Do you remember what date you started getting the automated message about background check? Today finally the automated message changed for me and I got "we are processing your background check" which I wasn't getting before. Now I'm wondering if PPR is close

    It's possible that they extended the previous medicals for him for an additional year if they believed that he is low risk due to his young age. You can call IRCC to confirm.

    1. You just need to fill up the travel information form, I think it's the IMM5562E one. 2. You can ask for an extension to the deadline, and include proof that you have applied for the PCC if available

    Do you mean the length of validity of the PR visa? Most likely it is the same as the expiry date of the medical exam, which in your case should be Aug 2024.

    Interesting, the automated message only tells me that they are reviewing if eligibility requirements are met, and that they dont need interview or fingerprints. Nothing about background check. GCMS notes shows eligibility is passed, and background is in progress.

    Maybe try calling IRCC, or send an email to your MP

    I sent a message to IRCC Vancouver regarding having to re-do medicals since PA is in Canada, and they responded today that they have reassessed the medicals for PA and deps and extended validity for a year.

    I think since they asked you to re-do the medicals before the current ones expire, it may mean that all steps are complete and they want to issue PR visa with longer validity. Hopefully good news soon.

    If you were approved as a sponsor, you would have received a letter from IRCC stating the following:

    You find out who your local MP is and send an email to their @parl.gc.ca address requesting their assistance with following up on your sponsorship application since it has been more than 24 months of processing.

    Provide the update as outlined in point B, and you will not be asked to submit her passport. As for the option to select in the webform, I would select "Sponsorship". Once you send the update via webform, I believe you will receive instructions for the virtual landing. You will be able to...

    CBSA was actually faster in my experience, I got the result in 2-3 weeks. Just make sure to upload not just the consent form, but also ID for sponsor, PA, and dependents.

    Unfortunately it has no effect. Background check for visitor and temporary resident applications is not the same as that for PR applications.
