Nothing yet. PCC equivalent of New Zealand was submitted along with the main application and the Biometrics is already done on 11 Oct. Just waiting for the next step.

Thanks. I hope it doesn't take that long for SOWP. My DIL might get PR around that time. :)

Thanks for your reply. Probably, attaching the email copy of ETA with ETA # (there's no UCI #) and boarding pass for last flight leg to Canada should suffice. There's neither a customs form nor kiosk output.

New Zealand citizens don't need visitor's visa and therefore there is no stamping on the passport. Even when they want to visit Canada they just have to get eTA (received via email) and scan their NZ passport at the Kiosk on arrival. What is the supporting document for valid temporary resident...

Application Submitted : Aug 29 PA status: eTA PA Residence: Alberta. Sponsor: Citizen AOR Received- Waiting

After years of waiting, I received invite for my parents and MIL.

They are in Mumbai, India. I wasn't sure if they could apply for a Super-Visa while they visit us on a regular TRV visa. I am under the impression that they can only apply from their home country.

Hi, Do I need to get medical checks for my parents before applying for a super-visa or after application? My parents already have their 10 years of TRV, but I am planning to apply for a super-visa so they can stay for a longer duration. Thanks in advance.

Did you receive an email regarding the rejection? I haven't received any email communication yet. Neither acceptance nor otherwise.

I just got an email notification that the application to sponsor my parents hasn't been selected. I will try next year. I am happy for folks who are able to get past the first step towards sponsoring their parents. I really wish that people who were ineligible and still applied, knowingly or...

Congratulations. I hope every genuine case got into the lottery pool and a chance to get picked up in the draw.

You are correct. Just to clarify what I meant is you need Canadian PP (number) to be mentioned on your OCI application. I didn't see that mentioned in OP's point #1. Thanks for correcting my ambiguous reply.

1) Yes. You and your spouse can apply for OCI since you have Canadian Citizenship. 2) You will have to surrender Indian PP in order to apply for OCI. Also, you need Canadian PPs for OCI.

Yes. I applied for OCI too. I believe surrender certificate and passport cancellation is done in Canada at applicable CGI office. Usually, the IND passports are returned with surrender certificate/letter within two weeks. However, it will be interesting to see if we get 40ish days like Raja420.

We just got our IND pp today. It took less than 2 weeks. Mine was processed at VANCOUVER office. I submitted notarized COPR as I didn't feel comfortable sending any original documents. Personally, I thought it was waste of money to pay for FedEX. FedEX tried to deliver around noon when no one...

For OCI, I had my documents notarized since I didn't want to send any originals except Indian passport. For IND PP surrender, I guess you don't need to get notarized.

+1 Thanks for your advise. I submitted all four applications without any issue. Infact, BLS agent removed some supporting documents from the stack as they were deemed unnecessary. We showed up third in queue so we were out within an hour without any wait time. I carefully entered the...

Hi, I am planning to surrender our passports as well as apply for OCI at the same time at BLS office in Calgary. Can I make all the payments by using my Debit card OR do I have to get the Demand Drafts for each and every application separately? Also, Is it advisable to get a authorization...

Thanks Scylla. I will run this information by my friend and ask him to join this forum. Tapak
