Ah ok. Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware that there is no 2021-23 pool. Yeah it will be a lot of profiles this time whenever they open up.

Yeah, I am wondering when they will open it up to new profiles/applicants. If they are working on draining the 2020 pool, would they work on draining the 2021-23 pool after this, before opening up to new profiles/applicants?

Hi all, Sponsor your parents and grandparents - Canada.ca - I just now saw here that they are going to send Invitation To Apply for those who sent Interest To Sponsor form in 2020. Would they at any time this year be accepting the Intent To Sponsor form for 2024? Thank you in advance.

Yeah if more parents and grandparents become PRs it will increase the burden on an already struggling healthcare system. As it is many immigrants are leaving Canada after they come here mostly I think because of lack of job opportunities and the high cost of living. That number will only...

Hi, Would this be the page where they will update if at all they start accepting that form for 2024? : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/sponsor-parents-grandparents/tell-us-you-want-sponsor-parent-grandparent.html Thanks.

Hi all, Do we know when will IRCC open to accept 'Submit your interest to sponsor form' for 2024? Thanks.

In my OCI, in the 'Address in India/Abroad' field they haven't printed the postal code or 'Canada'. Looks like for some others atleast 'Canada' is printed. Would it be an issue that 'Canada' and postal code is not printed in the 'Address in India/Abroad' field?

Maybe you can try calling BLS to check?

Maybe it is taking longer to show up on the OCI site. You have to use your Canada passport number and the application number that is on the form that you submit to check the status on OCI site.

Below is the status on BLS now. Does this mean that the OCI has reached BLS from consulate and is ready to be couriered to me? Application Status (Passport ready For Dispatch after OCI stamping)

Lol yeah. I was surprised to see the update too. Maybe Vancouver is picking up the pace now. Now onto hoping BLS sends it to me soon.

By God's grace, my OCI has been processed : Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 24-NOV-2023 Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 24-NOV-2023 Document received At VANCOUVER On 24-NOV-2023

Got 3 emails saying that the evisa is granted. We will have to take print out of these emails, right? There isn't any PDF or anything like that they'll send?

I had submitted the application last night - Friday morning India time. Are there chances of getting it approved by tonight?

Congrats! Did you enter NO for 'Have you ever visited India before?' in ''Previous Visa/Currently valid Visa Details' section?

https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html Canada has been included in the list of countries now - the left top button in the above page. I was able to start the e-visa application and was able to save a few pages of it earlier today too.

Looking at the recent most trend, it seems my OCI will only be processed around mid of December? I have not booked tickets yet. But have to start looking for them as the trip is very much overdue. I don't feel confident booking tickets until I atleast see my OCI processed.
