Hello everyone,

I am in the process of filling out the application forms for my parents sponsorship and have come across a situation, hoping someone can comment/help on it.
My Father's place of birth is misspelled as Kolkatta instead of Kolkata on the passport. I understand that i should have it rectified in the passport. In order to meet the CIC deadline to submit the application, should i use as it is spelt in the passport? Any insight will be helpful. Thank you.

At this point its too late to rectify the name change and mail in application before deadline. I would write the correct name of the city in the file ]Kolkata - I grew up there :)] and also attach a letter explaining the spelling error on the passport and that you are in the process of getting it corrected. At the same time I would also initiate the process of correction of the city name on passport by getting in touch with the Indian high commission. Again this is only a suggestion. Hope it helps.

Hi everyone,
My application to sponsor my parents+dependant had been received on May 26 via Canada Post. I'm a Québec resident. Still no AOR - nothing in ECAS either.

You can print option C from your CRA account. You sound like that CIC is asking you for option C. Haven't you provided your Sin and allow CIC to check? If not, you should send the option C's with a form along with your application package.
Anyway, you can scan your option C's and download them in the GCkey account.

I did provided everything. Is asking only for me, co-signer.
 
what to do? just wait or should we try to talk to someone?
So, I talked to the IRCC Agent today. They confirmed that my application has been received on May 16th and is complete. But they haven't start processing it yet.So, there is no set criteria for how they pick the application from the pile. We are just bit unlucky that our application hasn't been picked yet. So hang in tight mate :)

Can someone clarify me - can we still send applications? I thought it was open and closed in January.
If I want to apply for my parents, what is timeline?

I didn't received any AOR.. Only Sponsorship Approval.

Dear Sir/Madam,
This refers to the Application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class you submitted on behalf of

You have met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor. Accordingly, the Application for Permanent

This visa office was selected based on your relative’s home address and the requirements of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Should you need to submit additional information or make any further enquiries regarding the
Application for Permanent Residence for your relative, you may find contact information for that visa
office at www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp.

only be returned to you.
You must enclose a copy of this correspondence with your undertaking application to MIDI. If you

application to MIDI.
For further information regarding provincial requirements, please contact the Province of Québec

If the Right of Permanent Residence Fee is applicable to your application and you have chosen to defer
payment of that fee, you will be contacted to make the payment at a later date. A Permanent Resident
Visa cannot be issued to your relative(s) until this payment is submitted.

When should I contact IRCC?
You must notify Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) of any changes to your application. Examples of changes include:
