Hey Guys
I just noticed something about these letters and the item that says :

Country Specific Requirements: Please refer to the country specific requirements listed for spouses, as these documents are applicable to parents and grandparents.
Country specific requirements can be found on our website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp


I think we have to go to this webpage and select sponsoring spouse eventhough we are not sponsoring our spouses. Once you do that, you will get a list of requirements and at the very end there is a list of “country specific requirements”

The letter says that these “country specific requirements “ for PGP program is the same as “spouse sponsorship” program.

When I check my country, it shows that birth certificate of applicant is also required which was not included in the email that we received today.

Any thoughts?
Hi I know you didn't get bio request before as your parent had already done and they are exempt from doing bio. I am just wondering according to this email would you have to do bio again?

No. The letter specifically says that “f your relatives are required to complete biometrics, they would have received a request for fees and an instruction letter with details on how to submit biometrics”

Since My mom has not received any instructions letter for bio, She does not need to do it.
