2011 (May-November) Parents sponsorship applicants join here

[Another-Immigrant]

what you came to know is true, there were few cases on 2011 batch, check with ravi@yahoo, i think he too had change in family size,

its lots of work to go back and read all the posts, did you get your GCSM notes, looks like they are running slow this mothe. in my case i have applied for GCSM notes on 1st of July 2016 and haven't received my notes yet. last time i got them in 15 days

did your family size change, and did you inform them?

did you take any kind of social assistance?

in my case my file was pending Social Assistance and back ground check for three months. It is not justifiable that sponsorship applications applied six months ago are ahead in process than applications filed 6 years before

Yes, my family size was changed. One of my parent passed away. Yes i had already informed them.
Yes, I was on social assistance for couple of months.

It is understandable, they need to check all this.

But CIC should ask for, if any documents required and allot reasonable resources to process this in reasonable time.It is not justifiable that sponsorship applications applied six months ago are ahead in process than applications filed 6 years before

i hear you loud and clear, i was also in similar situation as you currently in, i was asking same questions that you are asking, but not much can be done,

if you throw sand up into the sky, it would fall on you own head,

i was little worried about the Quota for each year, i was told that if you file is in the system and you have qualified all the check you would be getting the visa but its matter of time

Life is short, i am sorry to know sad thing that took place with you, so you should consider for super visa

my parents are alone in india it has been six years, their health conditions are not good and they are not willing to come or go for medical

i think you should start thinking about supervisa

 

[kcdasoju]

The truth is , we won't get many people who can be effective for MP to start all this. As other post mentioned about petition and did not pass 66 people.

https://www.change.org/p/to-mp-john-mccallum-minister-of-immigration-refugees-and-citizenship-cic-canada-should-fast-track-processing-of-pgp-applications

Also it was first time I had visited MP Office. I don't think MP will agree to start petition. But actually we can try to push MP office, as much as we can. Let see how many people read this and agreed upon.

Cgill started it and i basically followed each and every one who were active on this forum 2011 plus all the people on ksenya's list have signed the petition. at one point we tried to ask their spouse to sign it as well

if you need to have it pushed to 100 you need to take it out of this forum, something like social media

and in addition people who are from 2014, 2015 and 2016 batch don't like to support his too

You said " i was also in similar situation as you currently in". So did your file was in secondary review? if it was how much time it took for "Decision made" ?

 

[Another-Immigrant]

Got GCMS notes today, quickly skimmed through it. It says Secondary review.

Does anyone know how long it takes for secondary review. OR every file is different

I had requested whole file under ATIP and , in the whole Doc , some pages are missing mentioned "Page xx is with held pursuant section 26 of privacy act. Does any one knows what those documents are and why withheld. It is my file and why CIC is hiding MY documents from it?

What other section of GCMS is important, that i need to look for?

Thanks

Hi guys need help what is GCkey and how it's works? Is GCMS and GCkey same?

 

[kcdasoju]

I have a question, can someone who is ahead of me answer to these question

Back ground.
a. I am sponsoring my father and mother, so far I was using my UCI number that was provide to me at the time of initial application submission in Sep 2011, while we were submitting Additional documentation in 2015, we have submitted Use of Representative form and I will be representing my parents application. Sponsor (me) living In Canada, Principal Applicant and Dependent (my parents) are living in India.

b. In mid July I was informed that I have met the requirements to sponsor my parents and Application for Permanent residence of my parent (who are currently living in India) has been forwarded to Visa office in Ottawa for further Processing

Question.
Does anyone know on what basis the application is being forwarded to a specific Visa Office.

Going forward (to find out about the status on my parents application) will I be able to call CIC call center in Canada?

If Yes, should I be using my UCI number of my parents UCI number, where can I find my parents UCI number?

Will they be sending PCC and Medical to my parents via email of Regular Post, or will they be sending the same to me in Canada

My parents have visited Canada 8 years ago on Visit Visa and was trying to check if there was any UCI information on it, but was unable to find it

I have obtained GCSM notes, and it appears that there is a UCI number but its format does not match with what it was given on CIC web site, and was unable to use eCAS to check the status

I request you to help me in answering these questions please

You said " i was also in similar situation as you currently in". So did your file was in secondary review? if it was how much time it took for "Decision made" ?

in my case in the month of April it said initiated Pre-Assessment, initiated Social Services Check, travel document check

in the month of June, i have noticed that, there as another Notes Line. it listed all the above listed checks and said received negative. and case pending officer review

after about an 45 days i have received approval

when i said similar, i meant that every one is going through Social Services check, (if you see in the Outgoing correspondence section of GCMS notes ) you will find they have send some letters to other department / agencies, and dates match with the Notes.

and you will see incoming correspondence dates too

read your Notes many times with different point of view, you will get some idea on what was happening.

When you have received approval email/letter, that must have a file number. That file number start with F000xxxxxx. Use that file number to check the online status of your parents permanent residence. Use Identification type as Application number/Case Number, enter this file number, and further provide identification of your parents (parents last name, date of birth and place of birth) to see their application status.

Hope this will help.

One of my friend told me that, applications are NOW being transferred to VISA offices around the globe, depends upon how much load on a specific visa office. It is done to speed up the process. As the internal system is linked every where, so even persons are coming from New Delhi, but there application may be process at Ottawa Office.

UCI number should be only one and on the letter CIC sent you. So when you are logged in online CIC account. There are two options. Sponsorship Application Status and Permanent Residence Application Status. I am not sure (as my sponsorship application is not that stage) but there you may be able to see the options
Here is another options i can see when i am logged in

"The person you are sponsoring can receive instant email updates and more detailed, up-to-date case status on their permanent resident application by creating an online account. Find out how."

in the month of June, i have noticed that, there as another Notes Line. it listed all the above listed checks and said received negative. and case pending officer review

after about an 45 days i have received approval

And in another CORRESPONDING, only under incoming is ATIP request. That ATIP request is that i had made to get the whole file.

Yes those notes are the observations made by Staff at CIC / CPC, they could be Call center agent too.

Note # 1 is the latest information, and as time progresses it will be pushed down, always notes # 1 is the latest

look for outgoing section too. be patent and hang on there, i think it should be done in next one or two months
