Congratulations

Congratulations on obtaining the visas for them? May I ask where did you submit your application? was it through the IRCC Portal? I have not done this for a long time. It was back in 2018 that I applied for my in laws through GC Key and it seems thing have changed a lot since then.

I did it on IRCC Portal. It is very easy and straight forward. All the forms are in a questionnaire style format and very user friendly. I also got the biometric letter within 4 hours after submission since some of the tasks are done by AI now.

Thank you so much for your reply. I had started the application on the IRCC portal but an immigration lawyer advised us to switch to GC key. I had to redo some of the files. Now, I am having hard time to submit two forms as the GC Key doesn't recognize two of the forms.. I am stuck and don't know what to do next!

From Iran and no, they didn't have any US, Schengen or Canada visas before. I emphasized that I'll take all the responsibility for their expenses and they'll go back. I showed mine and my husband proof of funds for them. The processing time for Iran is 110 but they got approved within 30 days.

You'll hear back from IRCC soon. I literally got no updates between submitting their application and their PPR. Even their biometrics got updated after they got the approval. So be patient, IRCC works in the mysterious ways lol

Congratulations!
From India, the average processing time keeps increasing every other, so when I applied it was 30 days, now its 45 days. I believe its due to reduction of staff in Canadian Embassy in India due to the diplomatic row.
I also gave them all documents, bank balances (mine and my parents), my pay stubs etc etc... Biometrics were done mid may. I am hoping to hear back soon. Thanks for the info.
