Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[bdidol]

Hello
I would like to know if anyone in this group went to United states for Biometrics, because I have been advised by CIC that entry to US may be denied if the sole purpose to visit US is Biometrics, and also if there is anyone here who applied a US visa on the basis to visit USCIS for Biometrics.
Please advise. Thank you

You should not disclose it as the purpose of visit in the border. Just mention you are there to visit and shop and it would be ok.

Some in the forum already completed their BIO in US.

Hey everyone,

I applied for my parents PR this year but haven't really kept track. Wondering how I can check the status of their application?

Usually, I would use the link https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/authenticate.do

However, when I enter my client id and fill in my details, system says there is no application in progress. Am I doing something wrong.

My parents have visited Canada multiple times so not sure if they have a Client ID of their own based on the visitor visa and if I need to enter those details to check the application status. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You didn't put your parents's old UCI# in the application?

What is your app received date? If it's after June 10th, you still have to wait.

what is your application received date?
last week of May waiting for Ecas status. check here : https://sites.google.com/view/pgp2019/applicant-status/1-list-of-user-waiting-for-ecas-available#h.p_yzLAIEonUTl_

I didn't find this new tracker user-friendly. How to sort or filter the columns? Also If I want to see the complete list of all the applicants in there, which option to select?

Urgent
If parent does not have formal birth/education certificates and Voter ID card is lost, what do I submit as proof of birth ? Is AADHAR or PAN card acceptable ? or do I need to submit an affidavit
Does anyone have format for birth affidavit ?

I am surprised that some are requested for birth certificate/resume and other documents whereas some only PCC/Travel form from CPC-M ?

@YULIA-2016 , @robertp

Just received Biometric request for both Applicant and Dependent today morning.

 

[sbo2019]

On the website ! No - As my mother is already in Canada on Supervisa.

Has she been in Canada for more than 6months? Did you need to get police record for her in Canada?

 

[sbo2019]

Pcc from Canada isn't required

She left Canada 2 weeks ago and stayed for 1 year before she left. Here is the request below. How do we know if Canada is exempted??? Thanks
"Police Certificate: From each country/state where the residence period has been six months or longer since the age of 18, provide an original police clearance certificate"

Let us know what did you do? I did not receive biometric request. I think you inform IRCC if you find website is not fixed this week.

I called their number on the website and requested for an appointment. But the operator was unable to book an appointment, kept on saying their system is down & they don't have any workaround. Cant take any appointment until they fix their issue.

Next day, my mom went to the VFS in person without an apportionment to check if they can help. After bargaining with them, they took her phone number and called her next day to do her bio-metric. I found their service very poor. For a simple bio-metric my mom had to go to VFS 3 times and wasting her 10+ hrs.
