Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

[samanariya]

Got my sponsorship approval letter today and it says that file has been transferred to Mississauga office.
Also it asks to submit these following documents for faster process.

Please note that the following documentation is required for your sponsored family members. If not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as possible:
 Passport/Travel Document: Your relative must submit a copy of their passport. If your relative's passport has expired or will expire within the next 12 months, please have them apply for and submit a copy of their new passport with a validity of 12 months or more. Please ensure to include all pages of the passport.
 Biometrics (if applicable): On July 31st, 2018, biometrics became a requirement for some IRCC applicants. If 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. If they have yet to submit biometrics, they should do so immediately.
Biometrics requirements can be found on our website:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/biometrics.asp
 Police Certificate: For the principal applicant and dependant spouse (if applicable), please
provide police certificates from:
 The country where they currently live; and
 Any country they have lived for six months or more (if applicable).
Your relative is required to obtain the police certificate from that country's law enforcement authorities. Please send a copy of the original police certificate to this office as soon as they receive it.
Instructions to obtain Police Certificates can be found on our website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/index.asp.
 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
 Supplementary Information - Your Travels (IMM 5562): The principal applicant and all family members included in the application who are 18 years of age or older must complete this form.
 Details of Military Service - IMM 5546 (if applicable): Complete this form for anyone included on the application who has ever held a high ranking/senior official government position or served in the military, army, defence or police unit, (including National Service), and submit a copy of the military card/booklet, including blank pages, if applicable.

Hello. Our submission date is May 28, and my father received the biometrics request last Oct 21, 2019. Then my parents' application was transferred to Manila Visa Office on Oct 31, 2019.

Based on your experience, when do we expect to get the Medical and Police Clearance requests? Thanks

Mine was transferred Sep 16, but no update yet from Manila VO.

Hello Everyone,

My name is Charmy and i submitted an application for my mother in law on June 19th. I have not received anything yet and i am worried. Is this normal? Should i contact them?

Hi, I haven't received anything yet. I submitted my application on June 20th. I think maybe we could receive AOR in this month?

 

[Alex2028]

Would wait a few more weeks. Many people are in the same position as you are and they haven’t received AOR yet. Processing just takes time. If you are the only one who has heard nothing then it would be a different situation. Would recommend you monitor the tracker.

Would you please share the tracker link again? Thanks

Hi Navin1207, May I know when you submitted your application? I haven't received anything yet, a little worried. Thank you.

Received SA letter, Bio and PCC request on Nov 15, 2019. CPC-Mississauga is LVO

Question: Guys who are getting their PCC from India specifically from Punjab. Where and how are you getting PCC done? Are you going through passport service or directly to police?

Question: In the letter I received it says that BIO instructions are provided but I don't see anything regarding instructions. I have already paid BIO fees with my application. Should I wait for instructions to come through my email? or should I call CIC? How to proceed with it?

Friends, can some one share their experience for doing BM at Buffalo ASC?
In terms of which border is better to go, Fort Erie or Rainbow bridge?
Experience at the border in terms of questions asked and if we can say upfront about BM?
Experience at the ASC in terms of what documents they ask to prove legal status in US etc?
And any other helpful information ?

TIA

I took my parents for bio to Buffalo ASC at end Sep. We took Rainbow Bridge and told US border staff that we were going for shopping and sightseeing (to see Niagra Fall from the other side) and would return on the same evening. We answered about our previous trip to US. No more questions were asked.
Our appointment at ASC was for 1200hrs but we reached there at 11:20am. We were finished and came out by 11:30. They just asked for BM instructions and passports. BM were updated in myCIC by 3:00pm on the same day.
While returning CBSA officer asked us about the first entry into Canada and didn't stamp passports. She asked about the value of purchases we had made. Thats it. Overall, it was all very smooth.
