Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2018

[razerblade]

Hi Everyone,

I had submitted my Intent to sponsor my Parents in January same like all of you. I had taken the screenshots of all my input just for my record, I also had written my confirmation number on a piece of a paper.

Unfortunately, I was not Lucky in first draw, I used my confirmation number lookup online as well.

After 2nd draw, I tried to lookup my confirmation number that I lost somewhere. Hence I contacted CIC using the link for lost Confirmation number, they replied to me in 4~5 days saying that "We regret to inform you that the information you provided does not match any of the web form submissions that were chosen to submit an application."


Now this is confusing reply to me, does this means:
1) My application webform was rejected
2) My Application webform is lost somewhere.

To me, it sounds like you didn't get selected. The lottery system has been abolished for 2019, even though there is still a webform to fill, but first-come-first-serve. Details haven't been released by IRCC yet. Good luck

It means that they checked the list of those who was selected and did not find your submission in this list.

Can any one please advice me how to submit PCC to IRCC? I didn't receive any email from IRCC, when I checked status online, it has mentioned to submit.

you can do it through webform or if you have mycic account and your application is linked. you can view submitted file and you will have option there as well to submit.

Thank you.
And if my parents had surgeries before, would the Dr here in Canada need to see their medical reports for the surgery? The surgeries were small ones, like remove a cyst from hand, thyroid nodules, and hernia. They stayed in hospital just for 2-3 days. My parents now live in a city other than the city where the surgeries were done, and they will need to go in person to the hospital to get a copy of the medical report. So if the Dr here normally just ask about the information without the need to see the actual reports, I don't want them to travel to another city before coming.

in my mom ultrasound report they found thyroid nodule, did your mom had to get that removed? or just the biopsy to make sure it was not serious?

Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum. I have sent the complete application for pgp2018. The application was received by IRCC on May 25, 2018.
I did not receive any communication back from IRCC (AOR etc.)
I tried checking the status using my UCI but the system could not find my application. I also tried calling IRCC without any luck.
Anyone else in this situation? Any help or suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

My parents' PR application was processed in Ottawa. It was approved and I got the notification email from the HongKong office - asking my parents to submit their passports to the Beijing Visa Application Center (VAC). The Beijing VAC turned out to be a contractor agency, who is basically unreachable.

My parents reside in a different city in China, so they had to have one of our relatives to go and visit the Beijing VAC in person. We were told by the worker there that they do not answer phone calls or emails (despite the fact that they are listed on the website), and my parents have to go in person to hand in their application. This is unheard of to me, as on their website it clearly states there is the mail-in option. I just can't imagine everyone in China has to go into their office physically to hand in their passports for PR VISA.

Does anyone whose parents are in China encounter this issue? It feels this VAC office is corrupted and highly irresponsible, but we don't have any other option in Mainland China.

you know you can come personally like mom did / in Moscow/ OR use any courier to send package to VAC / they said that/
Vac can send your passports back by own courier service

Hi,
My parents were granted permanent resident visa recently. Unfortunately 4 days ago my dad passed away.Now what is the procedure that I have to follow before my mother enters Canada. My father was the principal applicant . They live in India and I am in India now. Please help.
Thanks..

oh so sad
in PPR letter it says to report about health changes but it delay your case since Principal applicant is changed
so I would send both passports to VAC

on Beijing Visa application center website, it says you can submit passport in person or by mail, and many people mailed the passports there, Beijing Visa application center works for IRCC.

if you submit the application( e.g.visitor visa application, or immigration application) you might need to go in person, they need to check if you miss some documents. but right now your application was approved, you just need to submit passport, you can mail passport to them, your relative may ask how to submit the immigration application, not asking how to submit passport after approved. there might be misunderstanding.
