    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    That's a tricky situation. You do not need to report your baby just yet as he/she is not born yet. If you apply before your baby is born in September 2018, then you'd meet the LICO. However, you are required to meet LICO throughout the application process and they may ask you to provide another...

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    You can link to either one. But, if you did not fill out “Use of a Representative” form to appoint yourself as representative, then you can only link your PGP2018 application to your your mum’s account.

    It won't take much longer to get your AOR, but some people on this forum are saying that they haven't received AORs yet although their applications were received by CIC earlier than yours. So, you just need to be a bit more patient on that end while IRCC does its job. 1) As for medical, I do...

    Update on linking to MyCIC account. If you are having trouble linking your PGP 2018 applications to MyCIC account, here are some information that may help. Before even trying to link your application, make sure that you have filled out IMM5476 - Use of a Representative form. Otherwise, you will...

    I thought PGP sponsorship started in 2016. Well, now I know better. It also confirms my suspicion that they are not just working on applications received in 2014. Thanks Rob!

    They are still processing 2017 applications and most people medical have expired? 2016 could be relevant too, if they have had their PRs. Have 2016 applicants got PRs yet or they still waiting like the rest of us? Thanks for the reply Yulia, as always!

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    Hey guys, I'm just wondering if YULIA or someone from the forum kept track of PGP 2016 applications, just so people can have an idea of how long it could take for their PGP to be processed. Whenever I call CIC, they always said "You know that we are working on applications received in 2014"...

    If you provided the address in India, then I'm not sure why they would send it to Ottawa. Perhaps, High Commission in India has backlog? Anyhow, give IRCC a call if you are curious or worried or both. It may be a good thing, as LVO is determined based on applicant's country of residence. Ottawa...

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    They send the file to regional Canadian high commissions based on the applicants’ current country of residence. If you provided an address in Canada as your parents current address, then their applications would be sent to Ottawa. This is pretty apparent since people whose applications got sent...

    I had the same issue. Instead of using application number, use sponsor UCI (located right under application number on AOR), your last name and DoB to seach Ecas. That worked for me.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    Status update PGP invitation received: Mar 20, 2018 Application received in Ottawa: May 10, 2018 AOR received: July 18, 2018. When I typed in application number etc. in Ecas, nothing can be found about it. It says I can try again to search information. Anyhow, it appears that they are going...

    I'm not sure if IRCC is making money for processing ineligible applications. If it doesn't take a lot of man hours to process the application, perhaps they could potentially make some money. But, I hear you on budget issues with IRCC.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    My bad. If you meant two married couples (two husbands and wives), then they are going to be considered two separate families regardless of how they relate to each other. Each couple can sponsor their own parents/grandparents.

    Kemeshia: You do not need to include your reference number. It has a barcode on the first st page, and says: “Below is a barcode that will help our agents match the information you supplied when you submitted your interest to sponsor your parents. Please print this page, and include it as your...

    2 husbands and a wife, huh? Well, that's complicated indeed! If one wife is somehow married to two husbands, they would be considered one family. So, my assumption is family of 6.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

    Speaking of winning the lottery, I just got an email from IRCC today informing me that I can now apply to sponsor my parents. I thought they are not going to send out invitations until late April. Anyhow, should anyone wants to know, IRCC is sending invitations now - or may be even earlier. I...
