I got a request for police certificates and military experience form back in January. I made an ATIP request recently and it says security still in progress. Medicals expired end of November but I havent received a request to re-do them yet.

The sponsor approval letter mentioned they were moving my file to Vancouver

No, it is not based on the sponsor's address. IRCC tries to distribute applications based on the capacity and the load that each office has. I am in Quebec, but my parent's PR application is being processed in Vancouver (it was initially in Mississauga until I got sponsor approval). That being...

What date did the first medical expire?

Those forms do not generate barcodes, the validate is only to check that all required fields are filled out. If nothing happens when you click validate, it means it was successfully validated and no issues were found.

Wait for the PCC request, it will list all the countries they want a PCC for. You can also proactively submit PCC via webform for country of birth, current country of residence, and countries they stayed at for more than 6 months in the past 10 years. They might then not send you a PCC request...

It takes approximately 4-6 weeks or so for IRCC. The one I sent to CSIS took 3 weeks.

It depends, they might have sent his file to CSIS/CBSA for secondary screening which could cause delays, like it has for my dad who was in the army for 2 years (non-combat). My mom is the PA for the PGP file, dad is a dependant and only he had to undergo the secondary screening. I made an ATIP...

Are you 100% certain there are no visit visa refusals from other countries? Could be anywhere in the world, perhaps ages ago that your parents may have forgotten about?

You weren't asked to re-do medical?

Request letter from IRCC should mention which country PCC is required, and if the request is for PA or for dependents.

Yes, they will accept the PCC if submitted upfront, so if you can, I recommend just submitting it. Make sure you submit PCC's for all long stays since age 18. There is a good chance they might ask for the US one as well. The process for the US one is a bit tedious and takes a while so even if...

I ordered gcms notes and security is the last step pending. The screening started months ago and has been taking a long time. File is in Vancouver.

Might be good news, PR could be about to be approved and they want to give your parents more time to do their landing.

Might be a good idea to upload a letter explaining that they have no travel history, and they have not left India at any time

For the military experience, it can delay the security/background check stage. My dad had military experience from 20 years ago and when I applied for gcms notes it showed that his file was sent to CSIS for secondary screening. The secondary screening took 3 months to complete and for a...

Congratulations! 1 - They can land after their medical expiration, as long as their visa is still valid - so no need to worry about that. 2 - Yes, they can bring a list of items that they may want to bring to Canada in the future. 3 - As far as I know, they don't need to apply for their first...

Apply for another visitor visa, mention these two refusals, and say you mistakenly applied for a super visa. Secondly, stop using this travel agent that doesn't know what they're doing and just apply on your own - it's really not that difficult.

finding an employer willing to do the LMIA process for you is very difficult

I don't think you need to be an authorized representative, you just need to fill out the consent form. That's how companies like gcmsbuddy operate.
