Hello Guys, I am sponsoring my parents from Quebec.

I received a letter from Canada saying I met the requirements on October 2018.
After that I did the Quebec sponsorship, and all was good we received the CSQ to my parents on January 2019.
No news until now.
I sent an email to IRCC (Mexico) and they said they are busy because of Covid, anyother answer.
Anyone on the same situation? What I should do now?
Thanks!
The CSQ is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance. I got CSQ for my parents in May 2019 and i specified this expiry thing to LVO - New Delhi and they replied :

Dear Sir,



Please be advised that NO application in progress will be closed or refused due to a lack of documentation or inability to complete the application process in time, such as giving biometrics or completing an immigration medical exam or any other requirement. At this stage, we are not able to provide you with any further information regarding your application. Once next steps on your file are determined, our office will contact you.



Due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Migration Section at the High Commission of Canada in New Delhi will be limiting its operations until further notice. The Migration Sections at the Consulate in Bangalore and the Consulate in Chandigarh are closed until further notice.



For up to date information regarding IRCCs response to COVID-19 follow us on Facebook. As we are receiving numerous e-mails during this time please only email us if you CANNOT find the answer through the information and helpful links on our Facebook page.

If the sponsored parent (principle applicant) and the dependent both currently in Canada, can the dependent leaves Canada and receives CoRP separately?

Both have not received CoPR yet. Thanks for your insight.

COPR are always issued separately, however while landing either the principal applicant lands first or they land together- the dependent cannot land first. Moreover, if the current legal stay is expiring then better to get an extension or leave the country irrespective of PR application- being illegal will have a huge impact on the application and it will be denied

Thank you.

The status on ECAS has changed to "Decision Made" last week and I was unsure whether further communications would be processed at some point.

We did not receive any emails about this update as of yet. Do you think they mailed the letter as the processing office is in London, but principle applicants are in Canada since we applied for the sponsorship application?

The PPR letters should be in GC key account, once they have issued it- however due to current issues it might take time for it to be processed and uploaded. London LVO has woken up, hopefully it is sooner than later
