Congrats! How long did it take to issue visa? From the date your passport was received in Ottawa to the date it was dispatched?

Received my parents passport today. Finally!!!

Next step- flag poling

 

[pgp2011]

Hi soonihope, was it two weeks from the date you mailed until you received the passport? Not sure where in Canada you live, but could you let me know the date it was received in Ottawa and the date it was dispatched?

It took us exactly 2 weeks to get passport back from Ottawa so if your mum is going on July 4 you should have passport back if you send it asap.

is it more than 6 months per year, or more than 6 months for x number of years

Just curious to understand, i was checking my parents visit to USA, they have visited USA couple of time but never stayed more than six moths in a give year, but if we sum the number of months they stayed in 5 years its more then 6 months

Just curious to understand the requirement

Below is the exact text from email:

Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18, provide an original police clearance certificate.

My case is weird

applied: Aug, 2011
First AOR: Mar 2013
Request for Doc: July 2015
Sent Doc: Sep, 2015
Second AOR: nothing on the website
In process: Jan, 2016
Receive CIC notice to refund $490 dollar in May 2016. (I paid 980 for both parents... really not sure why returned half?)

No info since then.

As I saw a lot of you guys have 2nd AOR. but I don't have. Is this a problem?

Why are you getting a refund? The only time CIC will issue you the refund on their own if you are ineligible to sponsor and you checked off in application to not process the application if found ineligible.

in case you are sponsoring your father and mother, you will be paying a total of $ 2080 (i.e. $1100 + $980)

In Year 2011 at the time of initial application you should have paid ($75 + $475 + $550): $1100
Sponsor (Me), per application: $75
Principal applicant (my father): $475
Accompanying family member of sponsored person (my Mother): $550

in Year 2015 at the time of additional documents filling i paid (2 x $490) $ 980
Right for landing fee Principal applicant (my father): $490
Right for landing fee for Accompanying family member of sponsored person (my Mother): $490

 

[foeyshell]

Really? not sure why Im not eligible. If so, why they only return half of fees since I paid in 980$ in total along with the 2nd doc submission

 

[foeyshell]

Yes I paid total of 1100+980.. but 490$ is refunded

Also I just checked the sponsor application I filed in 2011. I selected to "proceed the PR application even if not eligible)

Short answer:
If the police certificate was issued less than six months ago, then you're good. Make sure it gets to CIC before the six months are up.

Long answer:
"For the country you currently live in, the police certificate must be issued no more than six months before you apply.
For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time you lived in that country."
