Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

@RAY2112 @luckymystery
I called CIC Call Centre, and the rep did not look into my file but said that their internal process is to start processing applications within 18 weeks which is around 4 months. So, max by early September we should have our applications reviewed. Hope so

June 12th will see movement in 3-4 wks.

From the tracker it seems that Medical Requests were sent out up until May 7. Anyone got Medical Request after May 7?

I finally manage to link the application: Below is the steps that I followed:

• Select Application number and UCI (Parents UCI)
• Select City and Country of Birth (Parents)
• The applicant intends to live in Canada: Province, City, and Current Marital status: Parents
• The number of family members, including the primary applicant, that are part of this application: Sponsor + Cosigner (if applicable) no kids +PA (+Dep if applicable)

Hi there, what application number should I enter? I have not received any emails. Thanks

Hi everyone, I applied for my parents
Application received on May 15, 2019, got AOR in last week of July,
I am reading this thread almost everyday. I am wondering about the Biometrics, there is no option to get it done in Canada? My parents are with me from more than 3 years on extended Super visa. Hard to visit to India just for Biometrics. They do not have US visa, I tried to get an appointment. It will take more than 2 months to get visa for US. I read in this thread, IRCC will give only 30 days to get it done.
Any suggestions... Thanks in Advance to all for your valuable time.

They may start in 2019 within canada but no news yet. Content from old article and source below:

If you are applying in person in Canada, you will be able to give your biometric information at specified Service Canada locations starting in 2019. Until then, IRCC says anyone applying for a visa, study or work permit or permanent residence in Canada is exempt from the biometrics requirement.

I am assuming they are on visit visa and not super visa.
