    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    As I do my research online, I've read many ppl said that Rainbow Bridge takes forever, up to 5 hours, to process PR landing. So we're planning to flagpole at Lewiston–Queenston Bridge instead (which only 15 minutes drive from Rainbow Bridge). Our COPR should be arrived anytime next week, and...

    Is you case in Ottawa or LVO? Our case is in Ottawa. After EACS showed DM, we waited 2 weeks but still no PPR. We sent and email inquiry to CIC and two days later PPR had arrived. Email address: CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca I don't know whether the email had anything to do with PPR, but doesn't...

    I do not remember the checklist required a birth certificate from parents. My mom does not have a birth certificate, so we only provided a copy of her passport and ID card. And we also had a note attached stating the reason why she does not have one. We applied in 2015. Our case is almost done...

    Our ECAS status changed to "Decision Made", but Background Check in MYCIC is still "in Progress". :o I hope there's nothing weird about it. PPR is on its way.

    Few weeks back I sent email to CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca asking whether my mom's medical, PCC and RPRF fee were well received. And I got their reply in 1 day. ;-)

    My mom passed medical in Sept too, and our Background Check status changed to In Progress just yesterday. Same as your parents, applied in 2015 and forwarded to Ottawa. Yours are probably on the way.

    As far as I know, no. They can enjoy healthcare benefits and regular day-to-day benefits for seniors. But other than that, they're not allowed to apply any government/social security benefit until 20 years after they land in Canada. Well, I should say, actually they can apply, but if the...

    Just a quick question: For people who has their application linked to MYCIC, do you get email notification when Background Check changed to In Progress? We sent everything and now just waiting for Background Check to be done, and PPR. Thanks.

    PCC and Med won't help the processing speed of Sponsorship at all. If you insist to do it upfront, I would suggest at least wait until you hear from CIC that your Sponsorship is approved.

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    I'm just curious, what's the point to continue with the PR application process if sponsorship is not approved? I saw that question when filling out forms. It totally confused my logical mind. Does it mean we can get PR approved even when the sponsor's income doesn't meet the requirement? Or...

    It's possible that you are failed to meet the income requirement. That's why CIC is refunding your fee. The status you were looking at was your sponsorship application, not your parent's PR application. According to the spreadsheet, you never received any sponsorship approval notice right...

    Thank you :-) After some more googling, I also found out 219 Laurier Avenue is office, 365 Laurier Avenue is mail room. Mails addressed to #219 are gonna send to #365 for processing first anyway. So either way can get our mail in CPC-O.

    Yes, our case is forwarded to Ottawa. However the thing is, Hong Kong Police Department always have PCC directly delivered to CIC. They never mail it to the applicant. I never thought I would be asked for CIC Ottawa address to fill in at the fingerprint centre. I was very confused coz I thought...
