Thank you!! Yes they did.

You are right, PR residency requirement is more flexible. However, in order to maintain their Ontario health insurance (OHIP) they have to stay 153 days in a 365 day period.

I sponsored my parents and they got their PR in Oct 2017. They have no income in Canada and are totally dependent on me. Their income in their home country is only a modest cash rental income. For now, their plan is to stay the minimum 183 days in Canada and the rest of the year in their...

Thanks Rob_TO. In the tax return do you have to include income from their home country, such as interest from deposits? or only income from Canadian sources?

Once parents are sponsored do they have to file separate tax returns, or do they qualify as dependents? The reason I ask is, to find out: 1) Whether sponsored parents need to file separate tax returns? 2) Whether sponsored parents meet the definition of eligible dependents under the medical...

After parents land isn't the whole PR process done? Why would they need additional photos? For what? If I were you I would courier them - fastest way possible and can be tracked as well.

Happy to report that my parents finally received their PPR and COPR Timeline as follows: PGP Application: Jan 2-2015 AOR: Mar 23-2015 Sponsorship Approval: May 20-2016 File transfer to LVO (Sri Lanka): May 20-2016 PCC, Medical, PR Fee and Supporting Docs Requested: Oct 7-2016 Medical Completed...

When a decision is made does your ECAS say "Letter / Email was sent on....."?

Does ECAS indicate whether medicals were failed or fairness letter issued? Or does it say "medicals received" regardless of whether you have passed or failed?

Mountain123 has experience with fairness letters. What is the status of your ECAS? Does it how medicals received or something else?

Hi P If you don't mind me asking, what medical condition did CIC flag as a concern and did your parents receive medical furtherance requests (specialist consultation requests) before they received the fairness letter? Seems, a few people have received fairness letters lately, might be that...

Anyone on this thread has received medical furtherance requests for their parents or fairness letters?

Thank you Scylia. Should I get an opinion from an immigration lawyer on this or are you aware of similar cases?

My parent's sponsorship application is currently in process. My father (75 years old) has CKD Stage 4. He has been given a stable/positive outlook for the next 5 years by a kidney specialist, but I fear he might be rejected due to excessive demand on healthcare. My parents have a 10 year...

Hi Scylla, My father also has CKD Stage 4 but unlike Mountain123's case my father has been sent for follow up tests with a nephrologist every 3 months since Oct 2016. So far his condition is stable and the specialist has provided a positive/stable outlook for the next 5 years. My parents both...

Did CIC provide you with the $85K cost estimate? Any reasons given why there are social costs involved? My father was sent a medical furtherance letter to obtain an opinion from a kidney specialist (twice already). I am guessing you did not receive such a request?

Congratulations Ibaadat !! Glad it worked out for you. I will be reaching out to you about the medical process as my father has already received two medical furtherance requests.

Hello mountain123, My father is also in the same situation - CKD Stage 4, but he has not received a fairness letter yet. How long did CIC take since the initial medical exam to send you the letter? My father has been sent for follow up tests every 3 months since his initial medical exam in...

I mailed my parents forms with original signatures. Not sure about the background check.

I'm sure everyone had to fill this form. At least I did. Yes you do have to include past addresses, employment, college/university since age of 18. I didn't include any visits outside of the home country that were less than 6 months. Luckily, my parents haven't stayed for more than 6 months...
